Introduction
The response times of the ET 200S F-modules are listed below. The response time of F-
modules is included in the calculation of the F-system response time.
Information about the calculation of F-system response times is available in the
Safety
Engineering in SIMATIC S7System Description.
Definition of Response Time
For fail-safe digital inputs: The response time defines the interval between a signal transition
at the digital input and the reliable availability of the safety message frame on the backplane
bus.
For fail-safe digital outputs: The response time defines the interval between the receipt of a
safety message frame from the backplane bus and the signal transition at the digital output.
Maximum response time of the PM-E F pm DC24V PROFIsafe
The maximum response time of the PM-E F pm DC24V PROFIsafe (with or without fault) is
equivalent to the maximum internal processing time T
max
.
The internal processing times of the electronic PM channel depend on the readback time
parameter setting (see table below).
