Error
Possible causes of error
Remedy
Serious error
Internal error in the HMI device
Replace the HMI device.
The process signal is faulty.
The sensor is defective.
Check the process signal.
Replace the sensor if needed.
Discrepancy error
(1oo2 evaluation)
Short-circuit between the sensor line
and the sensor voltage supply line.
Eliminate the short-circuit.
The HMI device does not match the
configuration.
Correct the configuration.
Check the communication paths.
Configuration error
Configuration incorrect
Correct the configuration.
PROFIsafe address
deviation
The PROFIsafe address on the HMI
device is set incorrectly.
Set the same PROFIsafe address in
the SIMATIC manager, HW config and
on the device. This address must be
unique. Refer to chapter "Setting
(Page 67) ".
The communication between the
fail-safe controller and HMI device is
interrupted, for example, due to a
defective PROFINET connection or
EMI.
Check the PROFINET cable.
The PROFIsafe monitoring time set
too low.
Increase the value of the
"F_WD_Time" parameter in the
SIMATIC Manager, HW Config.
Communication error
The configuration of the HMI device
does not match the safety program.
Compile the safety program again.
Then download the configuration and
the safety program to the fail-safe
controller.
Non-permissible
sensor evaluation
An invalid value was transferred for
the setting "Evaluation of the
sensor".
Check the setting. Check the version
of your GSDML-file. Load a new
GSDML file.
Version conflict
The HMI device recognized an
invalid combination of firmware.
Update the device firmware
completely and bring it to the current
state.
End passivation
When you have eliminated an error that lead to a passivation of the HMI device, you have to
reintegrate the HMI device. A user acknowledgement in the safety program may be required
for the reintegration of the HMI device. After reintegration, the pending process values at the
HMI device's fail-safe channels are provided again for the safety program.
More information about the reintegration of F-I/O and for creating a user acknowledgement
in the safety program can be found in the Programming and operation manual "S7
Distributed Safety - Configuring and Programming"
