14  Manual, 08/2018, A5E41448857-AB 
●  Supports the "RIOforFA-Safety" profile on F-CPUs S7-1200/1500. 
●  PROFIsafe address type 2 
●  4 analog inputs with electrical isolation between channels and the backplane bus (up to 
SIL3/Cat.4/PLd) 
●  Measuring ranges: 0..20 mA and 4..20 mA 
●  Resolution: 16 bits including sign 
●  Short circuit-proof power supply for 2-wire or 4-wire transmitter 
●  Supply voltage L+ 
●  External sensor supply possible 
●  Assignable diagnostics 
●  Diagnostics display (DIAG, red/green LED) 
●  Status display for each input (green LED) 
●  Error display for each input (red LED) 
●  Diagnostics 
–  e.g., short-circuit, channel-specific 
–  e.g. supply voltage missing, module-specific 
●  Channel- and module-wide passivation 
The module supports the following functions: 
●  Firmware update 
●  I&M identification data 
●  Value status 
 
The fail-safe performance characteristics in the technical specifications apply for a mission 
time life of 20 years and a repair time of 100 hours. If a repair within 100 hours is not 
possible, remove the respective module from the BaseUnit or switch off its supply voltage 
before 100 hours expires.  
The module switches off independently after the 100 hours have expired. 
Follow the repair procedure described in section Diagnostic messages (Page 58). 
 
Note 
Cyclic reading of I&M data 
Cyclic reading of I&M data can affect the ti
ming of the F-modules. You should therefore 
avoid short read cycles of less than 500
 ms.
