LEDs IFM1F and IFM2F
The LEDs IFM1F and IFM2F indicate errors that occur in the first and second
module interfaces.
LED
Meaning
IFM1F IFM2F
H x An error has been detected at module interface 1.
x H An error has been detected at module interface 2.
H = LED lights up; x = LED status is irrelevant
LED REDF
The LED REDF indicates specific system states and redundancy errors.

Off Redundant (CPUs are
redundant)
No redundancy error
Lights Redundant (CPUs are
redundant)
There is an I/O redundancy error:
• Failure of a DP master or partial or
complete failure of a DP master
system
• Loss of redundancy on the
DP slave

Diagnostics Buffer
You can read out the exact cause of an error in STEP 7 (PLC –> Module
Information) from the diagnostics buffer.
