Siemens Simatic S7-1500R

Protection against external electrical influences
The following describes what you must pay attention to in terms of protection against
electrical influences and/or faults:
•
The system for discharging electromagnetic interference must be connected to a
protective conductor with a sufficient cross-section for all plants with an S7‑1500R/H
redundant system.
•
You must ensure that all supply, signal and bus cables are correctly laid and installed.
•
For signal and bus lines, a cable break, wire break or a cross-circuit must not lead to
undefined states in the plant or system.
Protection of redundancy connections against unauthorized access
Protect the redundant connections in a redundant S7-1500H system so that the fiber-optic
cables are protected against unauthorized access, e.g. by spatial access protection.

7.2 Operation on grounded infeed
Introduction
Information is provided below on the overall configuration of an S7-1500R/H redundant
system on a grounded incoming supply (TN-S network). The specific subjects discussed are:
•
Shut-off devices, short circuit and overload protection in accordance with
–
IEC60364, corresponds to DINVDE0100
–
IEC60204, corresponds to DINVDE0113
•
Load current supplies and load circuits
Grounded infeed
In the case of grounding incoming supplies (TN-S system) the neutral conductor (N) and the
protective conductor (PE) are each grounded. Both wires form a part of the overvoltage
concept. When a plant is in operation, the current flows across the neutral conductor. When a
fault occurs, for example a single ground fault between a live conductor and ground, the
current flows through the protective conductor.
Safe electrical isolation (SELV in accordance with IEC 61131-2 or IEC 61010-2-201)
Load current supplies with 24VDC output voltage require safe electrical separation and
voltage limiting (extra low voltage). Load current supplies with a 24VDC output voltage are
