Redundant use
All ET 200PA SMART modules can be used redundantly with the following exceptions:
ā Analog input module AI 8 x 13 Bit cannot be used in a redundant configuration.
ā Analog input module AI8xTC/4 x RTD can only be used in a redundant configuration for
voltage measurement and thermocouple measurement. Only with redundant encoders for
thermocouple measurement, however.
ā Analog output module AO 8 x 12 Bit can only be used in a redundant configuration for
current output.
In redundant mode, the modules are present in duplicate and are configured and operated
redundantly.
Redundant use is only permitted when using two identical modules (same article number).
You can find additional information on the subject of redundancy in the Automation System
S7-400H Fault-Tolerant Systems (

1186523) manual
Parameter assignment
You configure the modules via the respective parameter assignment dialogs in HW Config.
Once you have defined all parameters, transfer the parameters from the programming device
to the CPU. The CPU passes the parameters to the respective modules at a change of
operating mode from STOP ā RUN.
Parameter reassignment in runtime
Parameter reassignment in runtime is possible for all ET 200PA SMART modules.
Input modules do not change the process input value while they are being re-configured.
Diagnostics and diagnostic messages
I/O modules with diagnostic capability have assignable and non-assignable diagnostic
messages.
You only receive assignable diagnostic messages if you have enabled the diagnostics using
the module-specific parameter assignment dialog of HW Config.
Non-assignable diagnostic messages are always provided by the module regardless of
whether the diagnostics is enabled.
Pending diagnostic information is displayed via the group error display (SF LED).
Diagnostic interrupts are only signaled by the I/O modules if "Diagnostic interrupt" is enabled
via the respective parameter assignment dialog.
