Wire-break check in the range of 0 to 20 mA
In the range 0 to 20 mA, a wire-break check is always performed:
● Wire break at < 0.4442 mA with 7FFF
H
in S7 F/FH Systems is reported and the fail-safe
value will be output as configured at the input SUBS_V of the F channel driver. In
S7
Distributed Safety
, the fail-safe value 0 is provided in the PII for the safety program in
place of 7FFF
H
.
Wire-break check and underflow check in the range 4 to 20 mA
In the range 4 to 20 mA, a check is made to determine whether wire-break check is
assigned.
● If wire-break check is assigned, an underflow check is not performed. Wire break at < 3,6
mA with 7FFF
H
in S7 F/FH Systems is reported and the fail-safe value will be output as
configured at the input SUBS_V of the F channel driver. In
S7 Distributed Safety , the fail-
safe value 0 is provided in the PII for the safety program in place of 7FFF
H
.
● If no wire break is assigned, in case of an underflow at < 0.4444 mA with 8000
H
in
S7 F/FH Systems is reported and the fail-safe value will be output as configured at the
input SUBS_V of the F channel driver. In
S7 Distributed Safety , the fail-safe value 0 is
provided in the PII for the safety program in place of 8000
H
(for underflow).
Measured value resolution
SM 336; F-AI 6 x 0/4 ... 20 mA HART has a 15-bit resolution.
