7.4  Repair error and reintegrate 
Remedy 
The error correction of the HMI device should be undertaken depending on the type of error 
recognized: 
 
Error  Possible causes of error  Remedy 
Short-circuit in the sensor  Eliminate the short-circuit. 
Cross-circuit in the sensor  Eliminate the cross-circuit. 
Short-circuit 
Internal error  Replace the HMI device. 
Serious error  Internal error in the HMI device  Replace the HMI device. 
The process signal is faulty. 
The sensor is defective. 
Check the process signal. 
Replace the sensor if needed. 
Discrepancy error 
(1oo2 evaluation) 
Short-circuit between the sensor line 
and the sensor voltage supply line. 
Eliminate the short-circuit. 
The HMI device does not match the 
configuration. 
Correct the configuration. 
Check the communication paths. 
Configuration error 
Configuration incorrect  Correct the configuration. 
PROFIsafe address 
deviation 
The PROFIsafe address on the HMI 
device is set incorrectly. 
Set the same PROFIsafe address in 
the SIMATIC manager, HW Config 
and on the device. This address must 
be unique. See section "Setting the 
PROFIsafe address (Pag
e 92)". 
The communication between the 
fail-safe controller and HMI device is 
interrupted, for example, due to a 
defective PROFINET connection or 
EMI. 
Check the PROFINET cable. 
The PROFIsafe monitoring time set 
too low. 
Increase the value of the 
"F_WD_Time" parameter in the 
SIMATIC Manager, HW Config. 
Communication error 
The configuration of the HMI device 
does not match the safety program. 
Compile the safety program again. 
Then download the configuration and 
the safety program to the fail-safe 
controller. 
Non-permissible 
sensor evaluation 
An invalid value was transferred for 
the setting "Evaluation of the 
sensor". 
Check the setting. Check the version 
of your GSDML-file. Load a new 
GSDML file. 
Version conflict  The HMI device recognized an 
invalid combination of firmware. 
Update the device firmware 
completely and bring it to the current 
state.
