*: Fault is detected only in case of signal corruption. In other words, the signal read differs from the
sensor signal (discrepancy error). If there is no signal corruption with respect to the sensor signal,
fault detection is not possible and is not required from a safety standpoint.

Assigning Inputs to Each Other
The EM 4/8 F-DI DC24V PROFIsafe has 8 fail-safe inputs, DI 0 through DI 7 (SIL2). A pair of
these inputs can each be used as one input (SIL3). The following assignment applies:
●
DI 0 with DI 4
●
DI 1 with DI 5
●
DI 2 with DI 6
●
DI 3 with DI 7
Sensor supply
The EM 4/8 F-DI DC24V PROFIsafe provides sensor supply Vs1 for Inputs 0 to 3 and sensor
supply Vs2 for Inputs 4 to 7. The sensor must be supplied internally.
