Configuration of F-Systems
Basic Configurations
This chapter describes the three basic configurations for F-systems:
•
S7 Distributed Safety fail-safe system
•
S7 F Systems fail-safe system
•
S7 FH Systems fail-safe and fault-tolerant system
2.2.1
S7 Distributed Safety Fail-safe System
Components of S7 Distributed Safety System
S7 Distributed Safety refers to a fail-safe automation system consisting of at least the
following components:
•
A central processing unit with fail-safe capability, such as CPU 315F-2 DP, on which a
safety program is executed
•
Fail-safe I/O, for example:
–
Fail-safe signal modules (F-SMs) in a centralized configuration with CPU 315F-2 DP
–
Fail-safe signal modules (F-SMs) in an ET 200M distributed I/O system
–
Fail-safe modules in an ET 200S distributed I/O system
–
Fail-safe modules in an ET 200pro distributed I/O device
–
ET 200eco fail-safe I/O module
–
Fail-safe DP standard slaves/standard I/O devices
Warning
You can use the following F-CPUs in S7 Distributed Safety: IM 151-7 F-CPU, CPU 315F-
2 DP, CPU 315F-2 PN/DP, CPU 317F-2 DP, CPU 317F-2 PN/DP and CPU 416F-2. Note
that these F-CPUs cannot be used in S7 F/FH Systems.
You can use the following F-CPUs in S7 F/FH Systems: CPU 414-4H and CPU 417-4H.
Note that these F-CPUs can not be used in S7 Distributed Safety.
