4.3 Explanation of parameters
Analog input module F-AI 4xI 0(4)..20mA 2-/4-wire HF (6ES7136-6AA00-0CA1)
34 Manual, 08/2018, A5E41448857-AB
If you select this check box, the corresponding channel is enabled for signal processing.
You can deactivate an unused channel with this parameter.
If you deactivate unused channels, the response time of the F-module is reduced.
Channel failure acknowledge
Use on S7-1200/1500 F-CPUs
The parameter is only relevant if the F-module can be operated on an S7-1200/1500 F-CPU.
The parameter can only be set if the F-parameter "Behavior after channel fault" is set to
"Passivate channel" and the F-parameter "Reintegration after channel fault" is set to
"Adjustable".
The value of this parameter specifies how the channel reacts after a channel fault:
● Manual: A channel failure is reintegrated after manual acknowledgment.
● Automatically: The channel is reintegrated automatically after a channel fault. Manual
acknowledgment is not necessary.
The value of this parameter is not relevant in the case of operation on S7-300/400 F-CPUs.
For S7-300/400 F-CPUs you set the corresponding property at the F-I/O DB by means of the
ACK_NEC tag.
For detailed information about the F-I/O DB, refer to the SIMATIC Safety – Configuring and
Programming (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/54110126) manual.
You select the measuring range for the channel with this parameter:
● 0 to 20 mA
● 4 to 20 mA
