Setting F parameters:  
The following range of values is valid for the the two last parameters of the list: 
PROFIsafe destination address F_Dest_Add: 1 to 65534 
F_Dest_Add determines the PROFIsafe destination address of the drive object. 
Any value within the range is allowed, although it must be manually entered again in the 
Safety configuration of the drive in the SINAMICS drive unit. The F_Dest_Add value must be 
set in p9610 (Control Unit) and in p9810 (Motor Module). This can be done in a user-friendly 
fashion via the PROFIsafe STARTER screen form (refer to the diagram in the chapter, 
Commissioning PROFIsafe via PROFIBUS).  
PROFIsafe monitoring time F_WD_Time: 10 to 65535 
A valid current safety telegram must be received from the F-CPU within the monitoring time. 
The drive will otherwise switch to the safe state. 
The monitoring time should be of sufficient length to ensure not only that the communication 
functions tolerate telegram delays, but also that the fault response is triggered quickly 
enough if a fault occurs (e.g. interruption of the communication connection). 
 
 
Note 
When you close the "PROFIsafe properties" dialog box, the fail-safe addresses (F_Dest_Add 
and F_Source_Add) are checked to ensure that they are unique. This function is only 
available, however, when the PROFINET link between SINAMICS S120 and SIMATIC F-
CPU has already been established. 
 
For additional information about creating a safety program and accessing PROFIsafe user 
data (e.g STW and ZSW) within the safety program, refer to the "SIMATIC, S7 Distributed 
Safety - Configuring and Programming" Programming and Operating Manual. 
Safety configuration (online) in the SINAMICS drive 
The process of configuring the SINAMICS drive via PROFINET by means of Safety 
Integrated screen forms is identical to that for configuration via PROFIBUS. Here, refer to the 
following chapter, PROFIsafe configuration with STARTER. 
Acceptance inspection 
Once configuring and commissioning have been successfully completed, you need to carry 
out an acceptance test of the drive safety functions (see chapter "Acceptance test and 
acceptance report"). 
 
 
Note 
If F parameters of the SINAMICS drive are changed in HW Config, the global signature of 
the safety program in the SIMATIC F-CPU changes. In this way, the global signature can be 
used to identify whether safety-relevant settings in the F-CPU (F parameters of the 
SINAMICS slave) have changed. The global signature does not, however, contain any 
changes to safety-relevant drive parameters set in SCOUT or STARTER.
