Diagnostic 
Message 
Possible Causes  Corrective Measures 
Inserted module does not match 
configuration 
Faulty parameter assignment 
Correct configuration (compare actual and 
preset configuration)  
Check communication paths 
Correct configuration 
Parameter 
assignment error 
PROFIsafe address set incorrectly in 
the F-module 
Check whether the PROFIsafe address on 
the module matches the configuration in 
HW Config
 
Sensor voltage 
or load voltage 
missing 
No supply voltage or supply voltage 
is too low 
Check the supply voltage on the 
interconnected PM 
Check module for correct contact 
Error in communication between F-
CPU and module due to defective 
PROFIBUS connection or higher than 
permissible EMI, for example 
Check the PROFIBUS/PROFINET 
connection 
Eliminate the interference 
PROFIsafe monitoring time set too 
low 
Set a greater value for the "F monitoring 
time" parameter for the module in 
HW Config
 
Communication 
error 
Configuration of the F-module does 
not match safety program 
Generate safety program again; then load 
configuration and safety program into F-
CPU again 
Faulty process signal 
Defective sensor 
Check process signal, replace sensor if 
necessary 
Short circuit between unconnected 
sensor cable and the sensor supply 
cable 
Eliminate short circuit 
Wire break in connected sensor cable 
or the sensor supply cable 
Eliminate broken wire 
Discrepancy 
error (1oo2 
evaluation) 
Assigned discrepancy time too short  Check the assigned discrepancy time 
  Once the fault is eliminated, the F-module 
must be reintegrated in the safety 
program  
Detailed information on F I/O access can be found under 
"Diagnostics"
 in the 
S7 Distributed 
Safety, Configuring and Programming
 manual or the 
S7 F/FH Systems, Configuring and 
Programming
 manual. 
Generally Applicable Information on Diagnostics 
For information on diagnostics that affects all fail-safe modules (such as readout of 
diagnostic functions; passivation of channels) see this manual in 
"Diagnostics"
 and the 
S7 Distributed Safety, Configuration and Programming
 manual or 
S7 F/FH Systems, 
Configuring and Programming
