2.2 Configuration with F-SMs in Standard Mode
Configuration variants in standard mode
When operated in standard mode, the fail-safe signal modules respond similar to standard
S7-300 I/O modules (abbreviated: standard modules). The configuration variants are similar
to the variants of an S7-300 or ET 200M with standard modules.
Exception: The SM 336 F-AI 6 x 0/4 ... 20 mA HART, SM 326; F-DO 10 x DC 24V/2A PP
and SM 326; DO 8 x DC 24V/2A PM operate in safety mode only.
CPUs approved for use in S7-300 systems (central configuration)
All CPUs of the S7-300 family can be implemented in a central configuration when operating
the fail-safe signal modules in standard mode.
Approved IM 153 in ET 200M (distributed configuration)
All IM 153-2/-2 FO interfaces of the ET 200M distributed I/O device can be used when
operating the fail-safe signal modules in standard mode.
Combinations of fail-safe and standard modules supported for operation in standard mode
S7-300/ET 200M support the combined operation of fail-safe signal modules and standard
modules in standard mode.
