8.3.8  Application 6: Safety mode SIL3/Cat.4/PLe with high availability (in S7 F/FH 
Systems only) 
Introduction 
Below are the wiring scheme and the parameter assignment of the SM 326; DI 24 x DC 24V 
digital module 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 of SM 326; DI 24 x DC 24V
 (Page 99)". 
Wiring of sensors when using the internal sensor supply of the module 
 
 
Note 
In general, if you connect 
one
 sensor to two inputs of the module and you are using the 
module-internal sensor supply, you must always use the sensor supply of the left half of the 
module 1Vs (pin 4) or 2Vs (pin 11). 
 
Wiring scheme for application 6 with single-channel connection of two redundant single-channel 
sensors 
Two redundant single-channel sensors are required per process signal. One sensor is 
connected via one channel to two 
opposite inputs
 of the digital module for each module 
(1oo2 evaluation). The sensors can also be connected to an external sensor supply.
