Always set the interconnected outputs in parallel instead of setting only one output. Process 
signals of a redundant I/O system require four outputs with assigned redundancy.

Systems only) 
Introduction 
Below are the wiring scheme and the parameter assignment of SM 326; F-DO 10 x DC 
24V/2A PP for  
●  Application 6: Safety mode SIL3/Cat.4/PLe with high availability 
Diagnostic messages, possible causes of the problem and their corrective measures are 
found in tables in the chapter "Diagnostic messages SM 326; F-DO 10 x DC 24V/2A PP 
(Page 173)". 
 
 
Note 
In case of parameter setting with SIL3 
The signal at the output has to change daily or even more frequently. If this is not the case 
with the "0" signal, you will have to activate the light test that meets this condition. 
 
WARNING 
 
Note for "Keep last valid value" parameter setting:  
If a module output is 0 due to a channel/module fault and the redundant module output is 1 
due to a communication fault/interruption, the process value 1 will be created. 
Also note the table "Reaction of the SM 326; F-DO x DC 24V/2A PP to CPU Stop" in the 
chapter "Reactions to Faults in Safety Mode (Page 52)". 
 
WARNING 
 
Prevent short circuits to L+ at the SM 326; F-DO 10 x DC 24V/2A PP with protected routing 
of the signal lines, because the actuator will remain activated otherwise. 
In case of a short circuit to L+ it may happen in case of redundant wiring at the output with 
configured redundancy operation that the associated output will not be switched off.
