Mechanical Configuration of an Automation System

with SIMATIC S7 Ex Modules
1.1
Use
Overview
The SIMATIC S7 Ex modules can be used in the systems:
S7-300,
ET 200M.
The HART analog modules SM 331; AI 2 x 0/420mA HART and SM 332; AO
2 x 0/4...20mA HART can be used in the ET 200M system.
For installation purposes, you must therefore comply with the configuration guidelines as
specified in the corresponding manuals. In addition, further reference guidelines for SIMATIC
S7 Ex modules are provided in this section. These must be taken into consideration.
1.2
Fundamental Guidelines and Specifications
Note
Note
Ex systems may only be installed by authorized personnel.
Approvals
The SIMATIC S7 Ex modules have the following approval
II 3 G (2) GD Ex nA [ib] [ibD] IIC T4. This means they can be installed in a non-hazardous
area and also in zone 2 (category 3G) if certain conditions are adhered to. Only intrinsically
safe electrical equipment (actuators/sensors) permitted in zones 1 and 2 can be connected
to the SIMATIC S7 Ex modules. The approval applies to all potentially explosive gas
mixtures in Groups IIC. The safety-related limits can be found in the certificates of
conformity.
The certificates of conformity and explanations of the designations can be found on the
Internet (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/37217116/134200).

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
17
Mechanical Configuration of an Automation System with SIMATIC S7 Ex Modules

1.2 Fundamental Guidelines and Specifications
FM approval
The SIMATIC S7 Ex modules have the following FM approvals:
Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C, D Tx;
Class I, Zone 2, Group IIC Tx
Therefore, the modules can be used in areas that contain volatile flammable liquids or
flammable gasses which are normally within closed vessels or systems, from which they can
only escape under abnormal operating or fault conditions. The approval applies to all test
gasses. A surface temperature no greater than 135 C (T4) occurs at ambient temperatures
of 60 C.
Safe extra low voltage

SIMATIC S7 Ex modules must be operated with a "safe functional extra low voltage". The
module may thus only be subject to a fault voltage of U < 60 V. You can find more detailed
information on the safe extra low voltage in, for example, the data sheets for the power
supplies to be used.
All system components which can supply electrical energy in any form whatsoever must fulfill
this condition. This includes in particular:
the power supply module PS307. It fulfills this condition.
the MPI interface. It fulfills this condition when all users operate with safe extra low
voltage. SIMATIC automation systems and programming units also fulfill this condition.
115/230 V modules. Even if they are used in another cell or in another programmable
controller they must feature safe extra low voltage on the system side (i.e. towards the
backplane bus).
Any other current circuit (24 VDC) integrated in the system must be operated with ESLV.
Refer to the corresponding data sheets or consult the manufacturer.
Note that the I/O modules also support the connection of sensors and actuators with
auxiliary power supply. Also ensure a safe extra low voltage is used in this case. The voltage
level of the process signal at a 24 V digital module may never reach a fault voltage Um
> 60V. This also applies to non-intrinsically safe components.
Note
All power sources such as the internal or external 24 VDC load voltage supplies and the 5 V
bus voltage must be appropriately interconnected galvanically, so that voltage addition as a
result of potential differences is not liable to generate a fault voltage which exceeds Um. You
can achieve this state, for example, by referencing all power sources of the system to
functional ground. Also refer to the instructions provided in the relevant manuals (see
Foreword) for this purpose. The maximum possible fault voltage Um in the system is 60V.
Minimum thread measure

A minimum thread measure of 50 mm must be maintained between connections with safe
functional extra low voltage and intrinsically safe connections. The process connector
features a cable chamber in order to meet this requirement.
18
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

1.2 Fundamental Guidelines and Specifications
Certain module components may prevent you from maintaining this thread measure. In this
case, you should install a DM 370 dummy module, and set it up so that it does not use any
address space. If you use the ET 200M Distributed I/O, you should observe the information
regarding the configuration.
Also take care with regard to the wiring to ensure this specified spacing is maintained
between intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe connections.
Combined use of Ex and non-Ex I/O modules

Combined use is possible, however, the minimum thread measure between conductive parts
of Ex and non-Ex modules must be maintained in all cases. As a rule, you must install a DM
370 spacer module between Ex and non-Ex modules. Always separate the intrinsically safe
from the non-intrinsically safe wiring. They must be routed in separate cable ducts. A mixed
operation is therefore not recommended.
Partition
The Ex partition must be fitted to achieve the minimum thread measure of 50 mm between
Ex and non-Ex modules when using the bus module of the active backplane bus.
Load current circuit

Power is supplied to the Ex sensors and actuators (to 4-wire transducers, for example) either
from the Ex modules, or via separate, intrinsically safe power supply modules.
The Ex I/O modules receive their power supply via the backplane bus. The 24VDC load
voltage input of the front connector is required for the power supply of the Ex sensors and
the Ex actuators on the majority of modules.
Connecting Ex I/O modules

The Ex I/O modules are configured in the same way as standard modules from left to right.
Wire the Ex sensors and actuators to the process connector, include any load voltage supply
using the cable chamber, and then plug the connector into the module.
Note
If necessary, a safety assessment of this intrinsically safe power circuit should be carried out
by an expert before a sensor or actuator is connected to an Ex module.

1.3 The LK 393 line chamber
Replacing Ex I/O modules

After being plugged in for the first time, the front connector adopts the module type coding
set at the factory. This setting prevents you from unintentionally replacing the module with a
different type, i.e. the front connector's mechanical coding prevents snap-on mounting on an
incorrect module type. thus fulfilling explosion protection requirements. When replacing Ex
modules, carry out the necessary steps in the order described below:
Configuration
1. Disconnect the L+ load voltage supply
2. Unplug the front connector
3. Remove the module
Mounting
1. Install the module
2. Plug in the front connector
3. Connect the L+ load voltage supply

1.3
The LK 393 line chamber
Scope of application
With the exception of the analog input module SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD, all Ex I/O
modules require a 24V DC load voltage supply via the process connector. Safety isolation of
this signal in order to maintain the minimum thread measure between Ex and non-Ex areas
is achieved by using the LK 393 line chamber (Order No. 6ES7393-4AA00-0AA0). Process
signals are carried downward while the 24V supply is routed upward in separate ducts.
When using the LK 393 line chamber, you must always use the front connector with screwtype contacts. If you use the front connector with spring contacts, the front door of the
module can no longer be closed.
Connecting the line chamber

1. The lines of the L+ and M connections are cut to the required length, their insulation is
stripped and wire end ferrules are fitted.
2. The conductor ends with the ferrules are passed through the openings in the LK 393 line
chamber until they are flush with the fastening pins.
20
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

3. The conductors are then pressed into the guide ducts of the LK 393 line chamber and
routed upward (secure with hot-melt adhesive if necessary).
4. The line chamber pre-assembled in this way is now inserted in the terminals of the front
connector.
5. The wire end ferrules of L+ and M are screwed to the terminals 1 and 20 and the
fastening pins to terminals 2 and 19.
This ensures a firm connection of the line chamber with the front connector, thus fulfilling
explosion protection safety requirements.
The following figs.illustrate the configuration.

1.4 Configuration of an S7-300 with Ex I/O Modules
Figure 1-4
LK 393 line chamber when connected
You can, of course, also use Ex I/O modules for non-intrinsically safe tasks. You will not
need the line chamber in this case. However, you must then clearly and permanently cancel
the Ex identification symbol. Subsequent use for Ex applications is no longer possible unless
you return the module to the manufacturer for testing.
1.4
Configuration of an S7-300 with Ex I/O Modules
General information
Physical isolation of non-Ex signals from Ex signals corresponds to the requirements with
regard to the configuration of explosion-protected automation technology. If the minimum
distance of 50 mm between bare connection terminals of Ex modules and bare connection
terminals of non-Ex modules can not be maintained, a DM 370 spacer module (order
number 6ES7 370-0AA00-0AA0) must be fitted between these modules. Care must be taken
to ensure that all automation systems are routed to a common ground.
This means:
All earthing screws of the sectional rails must be referred to a common ground.
The earthing clip of all CPUs must be locked in position.

Spacing for arrangement on several subracks

The following figure shows the spacing dimensions between the individual subracks as well
as to adjacent items of apparatus, cable ducts, cabinet panels etc. for a two-tier S7-300
configuration.

EX CABLE DUCT
NON-EX (24V) CABLE DUCT
If you maintain these minimum spacing dimensions then:

you will guarantee heat dissipation of the S7-300 modules
you will have sufficient space to insert and remove the S7-300 modules
you will have sufficient space for installing lines
Note
If you use a shield support element, the specified dimensions apply as from the lower
edge of the shield support element.
The L+/M lines on the Ex modules can be wired directly or via connection elements.
For direct wiring, route the L+/M lines from the cable duct (if a line chamber is used) directly
to the terminals of the module front connector. You can route the Ex process lines directly
from the front connector to the apparatus.
24
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

You can use commercially available clamp-type distributors for wiring via connection
elements. You then have the option of disconnecting the L+/M supply lines module by
module by means of a plug connector (see Fig. below).

1.6 Equipotential bonding of explosion protected systems
1.6
Equipotential bonding of explosion protected systems
General
Potential differences may develop between the bodies of electrical equipment which are
bonded to a protective conductor and the conductive elements of the construction which do
not belong to the electrical equipment, for example, the piping. The bridging of such potential
differences may cause ignition sparks. Equipotential bonding requires that conductive metal
parts which are not touch-protected are interconnected with the ground conductor. A
practical central point for equipotential bonding is the distribution cabinet. The cross-section
of the equipotential conductor should at least be equivalent to that of the corresponding
protective conductor. In all other situations, the minimum cross-section of the equipotential
conductor is 10 mm2 Cu.
The backplane bus and I/O power circuits of Ex modules feature galvanically isolated, i.e.
equipotential bonding is not required for these modules. Exception: Connection to the
equipotential conductor if this is necessary for reasons of measuring technology. Where
lightning protection devices are required in the intrinsically safe circuit, they must be
connected to the EB conductor at the same point as the shield of the intrinsically safe
circuits.
Generally speaking, the measures described in EN 60079-14 should be used or adhered to.
Generally, cable racks must be incorporated throughout the earthing system.

Equipotential bonding in buildings

All buildings must be equipped with an equipotential bonding facility, to VDE 0100, Parts 410
/ 540 and to DIN VDE 0185, which is interconnected with the overall cabling of the
automation system. Such facilities if missing must be installed.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Main equipotential bonding

This interconnects the following conductive elements by the EB conductor on the EB bus:
APA = 0.5 x APE main
PE conductor
Main ground conductor
Earth termination
Main water pipes

interconnected with PEN (PE connection is sufficient otherwise), AEQ = 0.5 x APE of both

Wiring and Cabling in Ex Systems
1.7.1
General information
Measures
Neither the electrical installation nor the required materials for this such as cables, lines and
installation materials are subject to the special test procedure of ElexV with respect to their
design. The responsibility of plant personnel or of an installation company for the proper
installation of an Ex system is particularly high on account of the risk of explosion in the
event of improper implementation.
General planning principles for cable routes are very similar to those for piping. At the
drafting stage of installation plans and building layouts, areas with increased risk of fire and
danger zones must be defined in accordance with ElexV and VbF. The focus should be set
on cable and piping tray installations in low-risk areas. Furthermore, accessibility and ease of
maintenance must be ensured, also for subsequent expansion. The cabling and line duct
passages between the control rooms and operational danger areas must be sealed
appropriately in order to prevent any ingress of dangerous gases or fumes into the control
room.
Note
Laying cables in ducts in the floor should be avoided. There is the risk
of the penetration or the formation of potentially explosive gas / air mixtures and their
uncontrolled propagation,
penetration of corrosive liquids.
The flexible multicore and single conductor cables used to install intrinsically safe power
circuits only require a diameter of 0.1 mm. For implementation in the Ex area, cables and
lines must primarily withstand the expected mechanical, chemical and thermal effects. It is
therefore always necessary to lay considerably larger cross sections and use cables and
lines that are flame-retardant and oil-resistant.
Intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe lines (conductors, non-sheathed cables) must be
laid separately or with appropriate insulation. Common routing in cables, lines and conductor
bundles is not permissible.
Special care must be taken to ensure full isolation in cable ducts. This can be achieved with
a continuous intermediate 1 mm layer of insulating material or by laying sheathed cables
(see following table).
30
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Routing of cables for intrinsically safe circuits

Cable routed in separate, insulating cable ducts
Cables routed in a common cable duct with an insulating

intermediate layer (the solid insulating intermediate layer of > 1
mm provides reliable isolation of the intrinsically safe lines in
accordance with EN 60079-11).
Any cables of intrinsically / not intrinsically safe circuits with common routing must be
capable of withstanding a minimum test voltage of 500 V AC.
The high insulation voltage of 500 V AC can be dispensed with if the intrinsically safe or nonintrinsically safe circuits are enclosed in a grounded shield. However, the cables of
intrinsically safe circuits must be capable of withstanding at least 500 VAC (conductorconductor-ground).
Intrinsically safe lines must be clearly marked. If a color is used, it must be light-blue. An
exception to this rule is the routing of lines within equipment, distribution panels and
switchrooms. Cables and lines thus marked must not be used for other purposes.
In general, intrinsically safe circuits must be installed in a floating arrangement. A connection
to ground via a 15 kOhm resistor, e.g. to discharge electrostatic charges, does not qualify as
a ground. Intrinsically safe circuits must be bonded to ground if necessary for reasons of
measuring technology or safety. The circuit may only be grounded once to the equipotential
bonding system. Equipotential bonding must exist in the entire installation of intrinsically safe
circuits.
The terminal elements of systems which contain intrinsically / not intrinsically safe circuits,
for example, in measuring and control cabinets, must comply with EN 60079-11 directives.
The connections of the intrinsically safe circuits must be marked as intrinsically safe. Lightblue must be used if color coding is preferred.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
31

1.7.2
Marking of Cables and Lines of Intrinsically Safe Circuits
Marking
Cables and lines of intrinsically safe circuits must be marked. Where jackets or sheaths are
color-coded, light-blue must be chosen as the color. Cables and lines thus marked must not
be used for other purposes. Equalizing conductors for thermocouples with a plastic sheath
may be provided with colored longitudinal stripes as follows, according to the type of
thermocouple:
Copper/cupro-nickel (copper/constantan)
brown
Iron/cupro-nickel (iron/constantan)
dark blue
Nickel-chrome/nickel
green
Platinum-rhodium/platinum
white
In the case of equalizing conductors for thermocouples with a mineral sheath or metal braid,
a light-blue strip of sufficient width must be woven in as the color code for intrinsic safety.
Within measurement and control cabinets and in the interior of switching and distribution
systems, special measures must be taken where there is a risk of interchanging the lines of
intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits, e.g. where there is a blue neutral
conductor in compliance with DIN 47002.
The following measures are acceptable:
Bundling of conductors in a common light-blue sheath,
Labeling,
clear arrangement and physical separation.
1.7.3
Wiring and Cabling in Cable Bedding Made of Metal or in Conduits
Protection measures
Cable bedding made of metal must be incorporated in the protective measures to counteract
indirect contact. This can be achieved by routing an existing ground conductor made of steel
strip or with a good conductive connection between individual beds.
For single laying, conduits made of metal are now only usually used where particular
mechanical or thermal stress is developed. In general, PVC conduits of two different types
are used depending on the expected mechanical stress. Remember, however, that PVC
exhibits a linear expansion which is about 8 times that of metal. The fixing points must
therefore be such that the linear expansion is taken up.

Requirements of Terminals for Intrinsically Safe Type of Protection
Requirements
These must be identifiable, for example by their type designation, and the following
constructional requirements must be observed:
Clearance in air and leakage path in accordance with EN 60079-0/EN 60079-11 between
two connection elements of different intrinsically safe circuits must be at least 6 mm.
Clearance in air and leakage path between connection elements of each intrinsically safe
circuit and grounded metal parts must be not less than 3 mm.
Marking of connection elements must be unambiguous and easily recognized. When a
color is used for this purpose, it must be light blue.
The following must also be observed with regard to the use of terminals:
38
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

1.8 Shielding and Measures to Counteract Interference Voltage
Connection terminals of intrinsically safe circuits must be at a distance of at least 50 mm
from connection elements or bare conductors of any non-intrinsically safe circuit, or must be
isolated from it by an insulating partition or grounded metal partition. When such partitions
are used, they must extend at least by up to 1.5 mm from the housing panels, or must
ensure a minimum clearance of 50 mm between connection elements, measured around the
partition in all directions.
The insulation between an intrinsically safe circuit and the chassis of the electrical apparatus
or parts which may be grounded must withstand an alternating rms voltage of twice the
voltage value of the intrinsically safe circuit, but at least 500 V.

Shielding and Measures to Counteract Interference Voltage

Shielding
Definition
Shielding is a method of attenuating magnetic, electric or electromagnetic interference fields.
Shielding can be subdivided into
Equipment Shielding
Line Shielding
1.8.2
Equipment Shielding
General information
Particularly observe the following when cabinets and housings are incorporated in control
system shielding:
Cabinet covers such as side panels, rear panels, top and bottom panels, must make
contact in an overlapping arrangement at adequate distances (e.g. 50 mm).
Doors must be given additional contact with the cabinet ground. Use several grounding
strips.
Lines exiting the shielded housing should either be shielded or routed via filters.
Where the cabinet contains sources of severe interference (transformers, lines to motors,
etc.), they must be partitioned from sensitive electronic areas with metal plates. The metal
plates must have several low-impedance bolted joints to the cabinet ground.
Interference voltages picked up in the programmable controller via non-Ex signal and supply
lines are diverted to the central ground point (standard sectional rail).
The central ground point should have a low-impedance connection to the PE conductor via a
copper conductor (> = 10 mm2) which is as short as possible.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
39

1.8.3
Line Shielding
Non-Ex circuits
Both ends of the cable shields are usually bonded to cabinet potential at a suitable
conductive point. Satisfactory suppression of all frequencies picked up can only be achieved
by shielding at both ends.
Shielding of systems with optimal equipotential bonding

Vital aspects in the optimization of a system's EMC properties are the shielding of system
components and, in particular, of their connecting cables, and that the system shielding
forms an encompassing electrical shell. The significance of this requirement increases with
the scope of signal frequencies processed in the systems. In ideal cases, the cable shields
are connected to the housings which are often metal or corresponding shielding of the
connected field devices. Since, as a rule, they are linked to chassis ground (or to the PE
conductor), the shield of the signal cable is grounded at several points. This procedure is
optimum for electromagnetic compatibility and personal protection. It can be applied in these
systems without any restrictions.
Figure 1-11
Shielding and equipotential bonding conductors for non-Ex circuits
40
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Ex circuits
Three aspects must be considered with regard to the design of shielding and grounding of an
S7-300 system:
Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Explosion protection
Personal protection
Grounding and shielding of intrinsically safe circuits

EN 60079-14 stipulates general equipotential bonding in potentially explosive environments
in order to prevent potential differences and resultant sparking. The equipotential bonding
system must be designed and implemented to DIN VDE 0100!
In accordance with EN 60079-14, intrinsically safe circuits are generally not grounded. They
must be grounded if this is required for safety reasons. They can be grounded if this is
required for functional reasons. The circuit may only be grounded once to the equipotential
bonding system.
Intrinsically safe signal lines and cables are shielded in order to meet measuring technology
requirements or to prevent inductive coupling, because the system often generates low
signal levels.
The section below outlines the procedures of planning the equipotential bonding of
intrinsically safe signal lines:
Metal enclosures with safe contact to construction elements as a result of their mounting
fixtures are integrated in the system's equipotential bonding circuit and thus do not
require separate grounding.
The shielding is grounded at only one point in order to avoid looping. In Zone 1, 2 and 21
systems, the shielding is grounded outside the danger area, i.e. ideally in the
measurement control system.
The cable shields must be isolated from devices operated in the potentially explosive zone.
The measured value is routed via twisted-pair signal cable (single cable) to a distribution
cabinet, and from there to the measuring room via multicore cable. The shield is insulated at
all intermediate points.
In Zone 0, the cable shield is connected to equipotential ground by wiring it directly to the
device connection housing (usually Zone 1). The apparatus is grounded directly via the
ground conductor.

Measures to Counteract Interference Voltages
Assembling the control system

Measures to suppress interference voltages are often only implemented when the control
system is already in operation and proper reception of a useful signal is impaired.
Expenditure involved with such measures (special relays, for example) can be reduced
considerably when installing the control system by making allowances for the items outlined
below.
Included here:
favorable arrangement of equipment and lines
grounding of all inactive metal elements
filtering of power cables and signal lines
42
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

shielding of equipment and lines
special interference-suppression measures
Physical arrangement of equipment and lines

Magnetic DC or AC fields of low frequency, such as 50 Hz, can only be sufficiently
attenuated at great expense. In such a case, however, you can often solve the problem by
providing the greatest possible distance between the interference source and sink.
Note
The analog Ex modules operate based on a method which suppresses faults caused by AC
system ripple.
Grounding of inactive metal elements

Well implemented grounding is an important factor for interference-free assembly. Grounding
is understood to mean a good electrical connection of all inactive metal elements (VDE
0160). The principle of surface grounding should be followed. All conductive, inactive metal
elements should be grounded!
Observe the following when grounding:
All ground connections must have a low impedance.
All metal elements should have a large-area connection. Use particularly wide grounding
strips for the connection. The surface of the ground connection and not only its cross
section is decisive.
Screw-type connections should always have spring washers or lock washers.
Protection against electrostatic discharge

In order to protect the devices and modules against electrostatic discharge, these should be
installed in fully enclosed metal housings or cabinets which feature proper conductive
connections both to the grounding busbar at the installation location and to the main
equipotential conductor.
You should preferably use cast iron or steel sheet enclosures. Plastic housings should
always have a metallized surface.
Doors or covers of housings should be connected to the grounded body of the housing with
ground strips or contact springs.
If you are working on the system with the cabinet open, observe the guidelines for protective
measures for electrostatically sensitive devices (ESDs).
The risk of ignition as a result of electrostatic charge must be safely excluded in the system
installation. Refer to "Guidelines for avoiding the risk of ignition resulting from electrostatic
charges" laid down by the main association of Industrial Employers' Liability Insurance.
If electrostatic charges cannot be avoided, the charge should be kept as low as possible or
safe discharge should be provided. The following measures, in particular, should be applied:

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
43

Electrostatic grounding of all conductive elements. Solid materials can be considered as
being electrostatically grounded if their leakage resistance at any point is not greater than
106 . Under favorable conditions, 108 is also satisfactory, particularly for small
equipment of low capacitance.
Reducing the electrical resistance of the material moved or parts moved with respect to
each other.
Incorporating grounded metal elements in material subject to electrostatic charging.
Increasing the relative air humidity. By increasing the relative air humidity to about 65 %
with air conditioning, sprays or by hanging moist cloths, the surface resistance of most
non-conductive materials can be adequately reduced. However, if the surface of plastic
material is water-repellent, this measure will not succeed.
Ionization of the air.
1.8.5
The Most Important Basic Rules for Ensuring EMC
Overview
To ensure EMC, it is often sufficient to observe some elementary rules. When assembling
the control system, take into consideration the five following basic rules.
1. When installing the programmable controllers, ensure high quality surface grounding of
the inactive metal elements
Connect all inactive metal elements over a large area and at low impedance.
On painted and anodized metal elements, make screwed connections with special
contact washers or remove the insulating protective layers.
Provide a central connection between chassis ground and the ground/protective
conductor system.
2. When wiring always follow the code of practice for line routing
Subdivide the cabling into line groups.
(AC power cables, supply lines, Ex and non-Ex signal lines, data lines).
Always install power cables and signal or data lines in separate ducts or bundles.
Route the signal and data lines as closely as possible to grounded surfaces such as
supporting bars, metal rails, cabinet sheet metal panels.
Install Ex and non-Ex signal lines in separate ducts.
44
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

1.9 Lightning Protection
3. Ensure that line shields are properly secured
Data lines should be shielded when laid. The shield should be connected accordingly,
see chapter Line Shielding (Page 40).
Analog lines should be shielded when laid. When low-amplitude signals are
transmitted, it may be advantageous if the shield is connected at only one end.
For Ex signal lines, connect the line shields only at the sensor or actuator end. Ensure
the connected shield continues without interruption as far as the module, but do not
connect it there.
Make sure the shield has a low-impedance connection to equipotential ground.
Use metal or metallized plug housings for shielded data lines.
4. Implement special EMC measures for particular applications
For all inductances, fit quenching elements provided they are not already contained in
the output modules.
Use incandescent bulbs for lighting the cabinets and avoid fluorescent lamps.
5. Harmonize the reference potential and, where possible, connect all electrical components
to ground
Take care to ensure specific grounding measures. Grounding of the control system is
a protective and functional measure.
System elements and cabinets should be connected in star-configuration to the
ground/protective conductor system. In this way you can avoid the formation of ground
loops.
Install equipotential conductors of sufficient size to compensate for any potential
differences between the system components and cabinets.
1.9
Lightning Protection
1.9.1
Measures
Overview
In systems with hazardous areas, the most important task, not least for reasons of explosion
protection, is to avoid overvoltages; where this is not possible, they must be reduced and
safely discharged.
In addition to the provision of external lightning protection, these measures cover internal
lightning protection and overvoltage protection. These measures must be coordinated with
the equipment-related EMC.
You will find more detailed information on the subjects of lightning protection and overvoltage
protection in the manuals of the individual systems as specified in the foreword. Here, you
will also find an overview of the components which can be used for this purpose.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
45

1.9.2
External Lightning Protection/Shielding of Buildings
Measures
External lightning protection is a measure for preventing damage to buildings and fire
damage. For this task, a large-mesh wire cage consisting of lightning conductors and down
conductors is sufficient.
On buildings with sensitive electronic equipment such as control rooms, the external
lightning protection must be supplemented by a building shield. For these purposes, where
possible, metal facades and reinforcements of walls, floors and ceilings on or in the building
are connected to form shield cages. Where this is not possible, the lightning conductor and
down conductor should have a reduced mesh size and, where applicable, the supporting
structure of the intermediate floor should be electrically interconnected.
Electrical equipment protruding above roof level must be protected against direct lightning
strikes. When such equipment is metallically connected to the external lightning protection
system, a partial current is picked up by the building in the event of a lightning strike; this can
result in destruction of the equipment sensitive to overvoltages. The pick-up of partial
lightning currents can be prevented by protecting the electrical equipment protruding above
the roof from direct lightning strikes by means of rods insulated from the equipment (45
degree protective area), or by cage-type tensioned wires or cables.
The down conductors for external lightning protection and, if applicable, the reinforcements
and supporting structures, should be connected to the ground system. Each individual
building has its own functioning ground system. The ground systems are meshed to create a
common grounding network. The voltage between the buildings is thus reduced.
1.9.3
Creating distributed systems with S7-300 and ET 200M
Measures
The process engineering of a plant, such as gas supply, requires a wide-ranging exchange
of information between the systems with the distributed Ex I/O devices and the central,
electrical or electronic measurement and control system. This necessitates a great number
of cable connections, sometimes extending over several hundred meters - in the case of gas
storage systems, over several thousands of meters. In the event of a lightning strike,
therefore, extensive voltage pick-up occurs.
A distributed arrangement of instrumentation and control equipment with relatively short
cables to the plant, and the connection of distributed I/O stations to each other and to the
central controller via a bus (PROFIBUS-DP) or fiber-optic cable, are an important measure
for reducing overvoltages between sections of the plant.
You will find more detailed information on this arrangement in the manuals specified in the
foreword.
46
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

1.9.4
Shielding of Cables and Buildings
Measures
Overvoltages between separate plant sections or buildings cannot be avoided in practice by
meshing. In the event of a lightning strike, a circulating current will flow over the path created
by metal connections between the buildings or between a building and I/O device. Cable
cores are ideal for this purpose. The lightning or partial lightning current must therefore be
offered other conductive connections. Shielding which can be implemented in different ways
is particularly suitable, for example:
a helical current-rated metal strip or metal braid as the cable shield, e.g. NYCY or
A2Y(K)Y.
By installing the cables in continuously connected metal conduits which are grounded at
both ends.
By installing the cables in reinforced concrete ducts with through-connected
reinforcement or on closed metal cable racks.
By laying conductors (shield conductors) in parallel with cables. This measure, however,
only relieves the cables of partial lightning currents.
or
By laying fiber-optic cables.
Overvoltage-sensitive equipment must also be shielded to ensure the currents at the cable
ends cannot destroy this equipment. This is achieved with metal housings or by installing the
equipment in metal cabinets which are connected to the ground conductor.
1.9.5
Equipotential bonding for lightning protection
Measures
"Internal lightning protection" covers all the additional measures which prevent the magnetic
and electrical effects of the lightning current within the building to be protected. These
measures include in particular "equipotential bonding for lightning protection" in order to
reduce potential differences caused by lightning current.
Internal lightning protection is based on the principle of the inclusion of all incoming and
outgoing lines of a protected volume in the equipotential bonding system for lightning
protection, i.e. in addition to the entire metal piping systems (gas, water and heating), this
includes all power and IT cables which must be wired to corresponding protective devices.
Since considerable, partial lightning currents can flow over such lines and must be
discharged by the protective devices, they must be chosen for a suitable current carrying
capacity (lightning current conductors).

1.9.6
Overvoltage Protection
General
Effectiveness depends very much on the connection and cable routing of the overvoltage
protection devices. When the devices are used in hazardous areas or intrinsically safe
circuits, EN60079-14 must be adhered to.
When the system is installed, the minimum igniting curves and maximum heating specified
by EN 60079-11 must be adhered to.
Overvoltage protection in intrinsically safe circuits

Overvoltage protection devices can protect intrinsically safe circuits from overvoltage.

Lightning Strike
Measures
When lightning strikes an explosive atmosphere it always ignites. There is also a risk of
ignition due to an excessive rise in temperature in the lightning discharge paths. In order to
prevent, at Zones 0, 1 and 20 themselves, the harmful effects of lightning strikes occurring
outside of these zones, surge diverters, for example, must be fitted at suitable points.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

1.10 Installation Work in Hazardous Areas
Overground metal tank systems which are equipped with electrical appliances or electrically
conductive components which are electrically isolated to the container require equipotential
bonding, for example, of measuring and control equipment and of the filling tubes.
Note
Lightning protection equipment and grounding systems must be tested by an expert upon
their completion and at regular intervals. In conjunction with ElexV, an inspection interval of
three years is specified for electrical and lightning protection systems operated in potentially
explosive rooms.
Summary:
Enhanced external lightning protection (reduced mesh size, increased number of down
conductors) on all buildings and systems.
Meshing of grounding systems in the building to create area grounding.
Meshed equipotential bonding.
Fitting of lightning conductors and surge diverters in the power system.
Fitting of overvoltage fine-protection devices at both ends of measurement and control
cables.
Shielding of M&C cables.
M&C cables with twisted pairs of cores.

Safety Measures
Introduction
All possible measures which eliminate the risk of explosion must be implemented not only
when using programmable controllers in hazardous areas but also during the installation
stage.
Sparks capable of causing ignition during mechanical work

Tools which tend to produce sparks must not be used for working in potentially explosive
systems or system sections in operation. Copperberyllium is a suitable material for tools
such as screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, hammers and chisels. Since this material has low
wear-resistance, the tools should be used with care.
Sparks capable of causing ignition during mechanical work

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
51

low
when bare steel elements strike each other
possible
when steel elements collide or drop
great
when striking rusty steel
very great
when striking rusty steel with an alloy coating (e.g. aluminum paint)
The possibility of creating sparks capable of causing ignition is substantially reduced by

using non-sparking tools. Exception: when the tool is harder than the workpiece.
Measures for eliminating the risk of explosion

Safely closing off the working area, e.g. with dummy panels.
Good ventilation of the rooms.
Flushing with inert gas. Testing the effectiveness of the flushing (gas tester). Then
working with a normal tool.
If the risk of explosion at the workplace cannot be eliminated, the following measures must
be implemented:
Avoidance of collisions and dropping of steel elements.
Wearing antistatic shoes, e.g. leather shoes or using shoe grounding strips.
Avoiding rust layers and aluminum coating at impact points. If this is not possible,
eliminating the risk of explosion locally, e.g. with inert gas.
Adequate air supply and waste air disposal.
Removing or enclosing readily flammable substances in the vicinity.
Keeping the workplace and, if applicable, floor moist.
Table 1- 9
Safety Measures
Working area
Safety Measures
Installations with readily flammable gas

and vapor-air mixtures, e.g. hydrogen,
city gas, acetylene and hydrogen
sulphide
Working only allowed after implementation of special safety

measures and with written permission of plant manager.
Only non-sparking tools to be used (tool softer than
workpiece).
Installations with gas and vapor-air

mixtures such as methane, propane,
butane and petrol
Sufficient to use non-sparking tools. Exception: For

materials with rust formation and aluminum coating or
similar, special protective measures required.
Installations with risk of explosion from

readily flammable dust
Remove dust deposits.

Keep working area wet and protect against dust formation.
Normal tools may be used.
52
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Note
Working on energized electrical installations and apparatus in hazardous industrial premises
is prohibited. This also includes the disconnection of live control lines for test purposes.
As an exception, work on intrinsically safe circuits is permitted; also, in special cases, work
on other electrical systems where the user has certified in writing that there is no risk of
explosion for the duration of the work at the site.
If necessary, a fire permit must also be obtained.
Grounding and short-circuiting may only be carried out in hazardous industrial premises
when there is no risk of explosion at the point of grounding and short-circuiting.
Use measuring instruments which are approved for the zones to test for no voltages.
1.10.2
Use of Ex Assemblies in Hazardous Zone 2
License
SIMATIC S7 Ex modules are permitted for use in zone 2 (category 3G). Note in this case the
specific conditions on the EU special test certificate (see certificates of conformity on
theInternet (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/37217116/134200)).
1.10.3
Use of Ex Assemblies in Hazardous Zone 1
Types of protection
It is basically possible to install a SIMATIC assembly in a hazardous area zone 1. However,
the system installer must implement additional measures in order to protect the modules.
Two types of protection are available:
the Ex assembly is installed in a "pressurized enclosure";
the Ex assembly is installed in a "pressure-resistant, enclosed casing".
The following figure shows a possible configuration for zone 1 in a pressure-resistant,
enclosed casing with a terminal housing that provides an increased level of safety.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
53

Figure 1-14
SIMATIC Ex modules in hazardous area
Housing
The selected type of housing is characterized by the fact that it is able to withstand
explosions occurring inside the housing and that an explosive gas/air mixture surrounding
the housing is not ignited. In addition, the surface temperature does not exceed the limit
values of the temperature classes. Cable glands that are protected against transmission of
internal ignition and isolated against the housing wall must be used for routing the supply
leads into the pressure-resistant, enclosed casing.
A housing with "increased safety" is used as a terminal compartment. Special screwed
glands are used for the cable entries.
The housing must be certified by a testing authority to comply with the "Ex d" type of
protection and the relevant design requirements.
Explosion protection of the housing: Ex de II T5 .. T6.
Cables
The cables used must comply with the EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-11 standards for
intrinsically safe circuits or EN 60079-25 for circuits with increased safety.
54
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

The cables for the assembly are to be installed in such a way that they are endangered
neither by thermal, mechanical nor chemical load or stress.
Note
If necessary, the cables should be installed in cable conduits.
Terminals
The terminal connectors for the power supply cable and the bus line should always meet the
requirements of the "increased safety" tape of protection. The clamping points of the
intrinsically safe circuits should always be implemented according to the guidelines of
"Intrinsic safety".
Protective device
The assembly is connected to a 24 V DC supply circuit fed by a power supply unit with safe
electrical isolation. The supply circuit must be protected by an appropriate circuit-breaker.
This circuit-breaker is installed outside the Ex zone.
Switch
The switch for enabling the system should comply with the "Ex de II T6" type of protection.

Maintenance of Electrical Apparatus
Replacing equipment
Work on electrical systems or equipment can only be carried out if a "permit" has been
granted. If electrical equipment is replaced, attention must be paid to the correct temperature
class, explosion group, and corresponding (Ex) zone. Certificates of conformity, EU special
test certificates, and design approval must be available.
Maintaining apparatus
Repaired electrical apparatus may only be placed in operation again after testing by a
recognized expert in accordance with paragraph 15 of ElexV, and the test has been certified,
unless explosion protection has not been affected by the repair. If the repair affects
explosion protection, only original spare parts may be used. Improvised repairs which no
longer ensure explosion protection of apparatus are not permitted.

Parameterization
Parameterization
You set the parameters of digital input module SM 321; DI 4 x NAMUR in STEP 7. You must
implement the settings in CPU STOP mode. The parameters set in this way are stored in the
CPU during transfer from PG to S7-300. These parameters are transferred to the digital
module during the status change from STOP-->RUN.
You can also change some parameters in the user program with SFC 55 to 57.
The parameters for the 2 parameterization alternatives are subdivided into:
static parameters
dynamic parameters
The table below shows the characteristics of static and dynamic parameters.

Diagnostic messages
Introduction
You can use the diagnostic function to determine whether signal acquisition takes place
without errors.
Parameterizing diagnostics
You program the diagnostics functions in STEP 7.
Diagnostic evaluation
We need to distinguish between programmable and non-programmable diagnostic
messages when analyzing diagnostics data. Programmable diagnostic messages such as
"wire break" or "short-circuit to M" are only output if diagnostics data analysis was enabled at
the "wire break" or "short-circuit to M" parameters.
Non-configurable diagnostic messages are general, i.e. independent of parameterization.
A diagnostic signal results in a diagnostic interrupt being triggered providing the diagnostic
interrupt has been enabled by way of parameterization.
Irrespective of the parameterization, known module errors always result in the SF LED and
the corresponding channel fault LED lighting irrespective of the CPU operating status (at
POWER ON).
Exception:
The SF LED and the corresponding channel fault LED light in the event of a wire break only
when parameterization is enabled.

Interrupts
Introduction
In principle, a differentiation is made between the following interrupts:
Process interrupt
Parameterizing interrupts
You program the interrupts in STEP 7.
Default setting
The interrupts are inhibited by way of default.
The module triggers a diagnostics interrupt when it detects incoming or outgoing errors such
as a wire break or short-circuit to M, provided this interrupt function is enabled. Diagnostic
functions inhibited by parameterization cannot trigger an interrupt. The CPU interrupts
70
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

processing of the user program or low-priority classes and processes the diagnostic interrupt
module (OB82).
Process interrupt
The module supports triggering of process interrupts for each channel at the positive,
negative or both edges of the signal transition, depending on parameter settings. You can
determine which of the channels has triggered the interrupt from the local data of the OB 40
in the user program.
Active process interrupts trigger process interrupt execution (OB 40) at the CPU, i.e. the
CPU interrupts execution of the user program or of jobs of a lower priority class. If there are
no higher priority classes pending processing, the stored interrupts (of all modules) are
processed one after the other corresponding to the order in which they occurred.
Process interrupt lost

Events (edge transitions) at a channel are written to the process interrupt stack and trigger a
process interrupt. The event is lost if a further event is generated at this channel before the
CPU has acknowledged the process interrupt, i.e. before OB 40 was executed. This status
triggers a "process interrupt lost" diagnostics interrupt. The relevant diagnostics interrupt
must be enabled.
Further events at this channel are not logged until interrupt processing is completed for this
channel.
Influence of the supply voltage and of the operating state

The input values of the SM 321; DI 4 x NAMUR are dependent on the supply voltage and on
the operating status of the CPU.
The table below provides an overview of these dependencies.

Parameterization
Parameterization
You program the parameters in STEP 7. You must implement the settings in CPU STOP
mode. During transfer from the PG to the S7-300, the parameters set in this way are stored
in the CPU and then transferred by the CPU to the digital module.
Alternatively, you can also change several parameters in the user program with SFCs 55 to
57 (see STEP 7-online help).
The parameters for the 2 parameterization alternatives are subdivided into:
static parameters
dynamic parameters

2.3.3
Diagnostic messages
Introduction
You can use the diagnostic function to determine whether signal output takes place without
errors.
We need to distinguish between programmable and non-programmable diagnostic
messages when analyzing diagnostics data. Programmable diagnostic messages such as
"short-circuit to M" are only output if diagnostics data analysis was enabled at the "wire
break" or "short-circuit to M" parameters.
Non-configurable diagnostic messages are general, i.e. independent of parameterization.
A diagnostic signal results in a diagnostic interrupt being triggered providing the diagnostic
interrupt has been enabled by way of parameterization.
Irrespective of the parameterization, known module errors always result in the SF LED or the
corresponding channel fault LED lighting irrespective of the CPU operating status (at
POWER ON).
Exception:
The SF LED and the corresponding channel fault LED light in the event of a wire break only
when parameterization is enabled.
Diagnostics of digital output module

The table below provides an overview of the diagnostic messages. You enable the
diagnostics functions in STEP 7.
The diagnostic information refers to either the individual channels or the entire module.

However, be aware that error detection must be programmed accordingly at the modules in
order to output programmable diagnostic messages.

General information about the display of analog values within the measuring
ranges of analog inputs
Introduction
This section contains the tables of digitized analog values for the measurement ranges of
analog modules
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
95

3.1 Analog value representation
Reading measured value tables

The tables represent the digitized analog values of the various measurement ranges of
analog input modules.
As the binary notation of analog values is always the same, these tables only contain a
comparison of measuring ranges with the units.
Measured value resolution

Deviating from this, a Sigma Delta AD converter is used with the analog input modules
described in the manual. Irrespective of the configurable integration time, this converter
always makes available the maximum representable 15 Bit +sign. Lower resolution ratings
than indicated in the specifications are due to conversion noise based on the shorter
integration times (2.5, 16/2/3, 20 ms). The different integration times do not influence the
numeric notation of measured values. The number of stable bits is specified in the technical
specifications.
The number of stable bits is the resolution at which, despite noise, the "no missing
code"characteristics of the AD converter are guaranteed.
The bits that are no longer stable at shorter integration times are marked with "x" in the
following tables.

Noise-prone bits
At a constant input voltage, noise causes distribution of the supplied value by more than 1
digit. In the majority of cases, these "unsteady" values can be used as they are. In any case,
this is the most effective option when subsequent processing has integral action
characteristics (integrator, controller, etc.) in any form whatsoever. If this "unsteady state" is
undesirable (e.g. for displays), you can
mask out the "x" bits
round up to "stable" bits
filter the successive values
When choosing these options, you first have to scan the values in order to prevent any
change or filtering of the coding of invalid measured values (-32768 / 8000H and
32767 / 7FFFH).

NAMUR limits are evaluated only if wire break diagnostics is enabled. When wire break diagnostics
is enabled, 7FFFH is output if the current value drops below 3.6 mA. If the value increases again to
above 3.8 mA, the wire break signal is canceled and the current value is output again.
2 Negative
measured values cannot be acquired. For analog values < 0 mA each display of the digital
measured value of 0 mA remains.

wire break monitoring is not enabled, the measured value can fall to 0 mA and the module returns

3.3 Wiring transducers to analog inputs
3.3
Wiring transducers to analog inputs
Transducers
The analog input modules support the connection of different transducers to suit a specific
type of measurement:
Voltage sensor
Current sensor as
2-wire transducer
4-wire transducer
Resistance sensor
Lines for analog signals

Shielded conductors twisted in pairs are used for the analog signals.
Electrically isolated analog input modules

A galvanic connection of measuring circuit ground M- to CPU ground M does not exist on
electrically isolated analog input modules.
Electrically isolated analog input modules are used if there is any risk of potential difference
VISO developing between reference ground M- of the measuring circuit and CPU ground M.
Take appropriate measures to prevent any overshoot of the permitted potential difference
VISO. Interconnect the reference potential M- of the measuring circuit with reference potential
M of the CPU if the permitted value of VISO is actually exceeded or if you cannot precisely
determine the potential difference. This also refers to unused inputs.
Electrical isolation between channels

The channels are electrically isolated by means of separate power transformers, and the
signals are transferred via optocoupler. This electrical isolation tolerates high potential
differences between the channels. In addition, very good values are achieved with regard to
interference voltage rejection and crosstalk between the channels.
SM 331; AI 4 x 0/4...20mA features electrically isolated channels.
To facilitate channel isolation, The SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD is equipped with optical
semiconductor multiplexers that ensure a high common-mode range of UCM DC 60 V. This
represents a virtually equivalent solution in practical applications.
Higher potential differences can be tolerated if the modules are used to process signals from
the non-Ex area.
Insulated transducers
Insulated transducers are not wired to local ground potential. These transducers can be
operated in electrically isolated mode. Potential differences VCM (static or dynamic) may
develop between the input channels as a result of local conditions or interference. However,
114
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

3.3 Wiring transducers to analog inputs
such potential differences may not exceed the permitted value of VCM. If there is a possibility
that the permissible value may be exceeded, the M- terminals of the input channels must be
interconnected.
Interconnect M- of the input channels and M of the CPU if you expect any violation of VISO
limits (inputs to the backplane bus).
The diagram below shows the basic wiring of insulated transducers to an electrically isolated
analog input module.

Connection of insulated transducers to an isolated analog input module
Non-insulated transducers
Non-insulated transducers are wired to local ground potential. Potential differences VCM
(static or dynamic) may develop between locally distributed measuring points as a result of
local conditions or interference. Install equipotential conductors between the measuring
points in order to avoid such potential differences.
The diagram below shows the basic wiring of non-insulated transducers to an electrically
isolated analog input module.

Thermocouples with compensation box

All thermocouples that are connected to the inputs of a module and which have the same
reference junction compensate as follows. The thermocouples which use a compensation
box must be of the same type. Each of the thermocouples can be grounded at any arbitrary
point.

The compensation box can be directly interconnected with the measuring circuit if the wiring
of all thermocouples is electrically isolated.
Compensation channel CH 7 is thus not required and is now available as additional
measuring input.
The "Thermocouples with linearization and 0C compensation" type of measurement must
be set for all channels. In doing so, the thermocouples that use a compensation box must be
of the same type.

Advantages
When using a compensation box with a reference junction temperature of 0 C, the
voltage corresponding to the reference junction temperature is subtracted directly.
Channel 7 can be used as additional measuring channel in this circuit variant.
The number of connecting cables between the compensation box and the analog input
module is reduced.
The faults, which are attributed to isolated compensation measurement do not occur.
Conditions
The thermocouples that are routed to the same compensation box must only be grounded
once at one point.

directly or via compensating lines to the module. Each channel group can use one of the

Measurement
The values of resistance thermometers and resistance transducers are measured using the
4-wire technique. The resistance thermometers/resistance sensors are fed a constant
current via terminals IC + and IC. The voltage generated at the resistance thermometers /
transducers is measured at the M+ and M- terminals. This method returns a high accuracy of
measurement results with 4-wire technology.

Shielded lines twisted in pairs are used for analog signals. So as to reduce interference
influence.
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
121

3.6 Using thermocouples
When using the 4-wire technique to connect resistance thermometers, wire the constant
current line Ic+ and sense line M+ using one of the twisted pairs, and the second pair for Ic+ /
M+. You will achieve a further improvement if you also twist these two twisted-pair wires with
each other (star-quad).
The potential differences VCM and VISO defined in the relevant chapters also apply to these
circuits.
Logic
Backplane bus
Figure 3-8

331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD
For 2- and 3-wire connections you need to insert corresponding bridges between the module
terminals M+ and IC + or M- and IC - . However, certain losses of measurement accuracy must
be expected when using such connections, because you cannot measure the voltage loss at
the relevant feed lines.
3.6
Using thermocouples
Installation of thermocouples
A thermocouple consists of
the pair of thermal elements (sensors) and
of the mounting and terminal elements required.
The thermocouple consists of two wire elements made of different metals or metal alloys
which are joint at their ends by soldering or welding. The different material compounds return
different thermocouple types such as K, J or N. The principle of measurement is the same
for all thermocouple types.

Measuring circuit with thermocouple
Operating principle of thermocouples

A difference of the temperature between the measuring point and the free ends of the
thermocouple (terminal) generates a voltage at these electrodes, namely the thermal
voltage.
The value of this thermal voltage is determined by the temperature difference between the
measuring point and the electrodes, and by the material combination of the pair of thermal
elements. As the pair of thermal elements always records a temperature difference, the free
ends of the thermocouple always have to be kept at a known temperature in order to
determine the temperature at a measuring point.
Extension to a reference junction

The pair of thermal elements can be extended using compensating lines in order to
interconnect these with a reference which has a known temperature.
The material of the equalizing conductors has the same thermal e.m.f. as the wires of the
thermocouple. The conductors leading from the reference junction up to the analog module
are made of copper.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Using thermostatically controlled terminal boxes

It is possible to use temperature-compensated terminal boxes. Use boxes with reference
junction temperatures of 0 C or 50 C when using thermostatically controlled terminal
boxes.
Compensation of thermocouples
External or internal compensation can be adopted depending on where (locally) you require
the reference junction.
In the case of external compensation, the temperature of the reference junction for
thermocouples is taken into consideration by means of a compensation box or thermal
resistor.
In the case of internal compensation, the internal terminal temperature of the module is used
for the comparison.
External compensation
The temperature of the reference junction can be compensated by means of a compensating
circuit, e.g. by a compensation box.
The compensation box contains a bridge circuit which is calibrated for a certain reference
junction temperature (compensating temperature). The terminal connections for the ends of
the equalizing conductor of the thermocouple form the reference junction.
If the actual reference temperature deviates from the compensating temperature the
temperature-dependent bridge resistance will change. A positive or negative compensation
voltage is produced which is added to the thermal e.m.f.
Compensation boxes with a reference junction temperature of 0 C must be used for the
purpose of compensating the analog input modules.
A further external compensation option is to record the reference junction temperature with a
thermal resistor in the climatic range (e.g. Pt 100).
The following conditions must be observed:
External compensation by means of a compensation box can only be carried out for one
specific type of thermocouple. This means that all channels of this module operating with
external compensation must be parameterized for the same type of thermocouple.
Module diagnostic signals "incorrect parameters in module" and "reference channel error"
for the corresponding channels (0..5) in the case of incorrect parameterization.
The parameters of a channel group apply to both channels of this channel group (e.g.
type of thermocouple, integration time, etc.)

3.7 Connecting voltage sensors
Internal compensation
For the purposes of internal compensation, you can form the reference junction at the
terminals of the analog input module. In this case, you must route the compensating
conductors to the analog module. The internal temperature sensor senses the terminal
temperature of the module. The thermocouples (also different types) connected to the
module are compensated with this temperature.
Note
For the analog input module SM 331; SI 8 x TC/4 x RTD, the compensation box is connected
to terminals 18 and 19. The thermal resistor is connected to terminals 16, 17, 18 and 19 in
order to register the reference junction temperature.

Introduction
The analog output modules can be used to supply loads/actuators with current.

Shielded lines twisted in pairs are used for analog signals. So as to reduce interference
influence.
You should ground the shield of the analog lines at both ends. Any potential difference
between the cable ends may cause an equipotential current which interferes with the analog
signals. In this case, the shield should only be grounded at one end of the line.
Electrically isolated analog output modules

Electrically isolated analog input modules do not have a galvanic connection between their
reference ground M0- to M3- and CPU reference ground M.
Electrically isolated analog input modules are used if there is any risk of potential difference
d UISO developing between reference ground M0- to M3- of the analog circuit and reference

ground M of the CPU. Take appropriate measures to prevent any overshoot of the permitted
potential difference VISO. You should always interconnect the terminals M0- to M3- with the M
terminal of the CPU if you expect any overshoot of permitted limits.
Wiring loads to a current output

You must connect loads to an output current at, e.g., QI0 and the reference point M0- of the
analog circuit.

Basic Requirements for the Use of Analog Modules
3.10.1
Conversion and Cycle Time of Analog Input Channels
Conversion time
The conversion time is made up of the basic conversion time and additional processing
times for wire break monitoring.
128
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

The basic conversion time depends directly on the conversion method (integral action,
successive approximation or sigma-delta method) of the analog input channel. In the case of
integral action conversion, the integration time is included directly in the conversion time.
The integration time influences the resolution. The integration times of the individual analog
modules are specified in the respective chapter. You set up the conversion functions in
STEP 7.
Cycle time
Analog-to-digital conversion and the transfer of digitized measured values to memory or to
the S7-300 backplane bus is handled sequentially, i.e. the analog input channels are
converted successively. The cycle time, i.e. the time required until an analog input value has
been converted again, is the sum of the conversion times of all activated analog input
channels of the analog input module. The conversion time is based on channel groups when
the analog input channels are combined in channel groups by means of parameterization. In
the analog input modules SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD, 2 analog input channels are combined
to form one channel group. You must therefore subdivide the cycle time into steps of 2. You
should disable all unused analog input channels in your STEP 7 program in order to reduce
cycle times.
The diagram shows an overview of how the cycle time is made up for an n-channel analog
input module.

Conversion, Cycle, Transient Recovery and Response Times of Analog Output

Channels
Conversion time
The conversion time of analog output channels includes the transfer of digitized output
values and digital/analog conversion.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
129

Cycle time
In the SM 332; AO 4 x 0/4...20 mA, conversion of the analog output channels takes place in
parallel, i.e. on receipt of the data, all four analog output channels are converted
simultaneously.
The cycle time, i.e. the time required until an analog output value is re-converted, is constant
and equals the conversion time.
Transient recovery time

The transient recovery time (t2 to t3), i.e. the time from applying the converted value up to
achieving the specified value at the analog output is dependent on load. In this context we
have to distinguish between resistive, capacitive and inductive loads.
Response time
In the most unfavorable case, the response time (t1 to t3), i.e. the time from receiving the
digital output values in the module up to obtaining the specified value at the analog output is
the sum of the cycle time and transient recovery time. The most unfavorable case is when
channel conversion begins just before transfer of a new output value.
The digitized output values are connected simultaneously to all output channels.

Parameters of Analog Modules
Parameterization
You program the parameters of analog modules in STEP 7. These settings must then be
transferred in STOP mode to the CPU. During the status change from STOP-->RUN, the
CPU then transfers the parameters to the relevant analog modules.
130
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

You can also change some parameters in the user program with SFC 55. You can find out
which parameters can be changed in this way in Appendix A of the S7-300, Modules Device
Manual (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/8859629). Call SFC 56 and 57
when the CPU is in RUN in order to transfer the parameters set in STEP 7 to the analog
module.

Diagnostics of the Analog Modules
Definition
With the aid of the diagnostics function you can determine whether analog processing is
faulty or free of faults and which faults have occurred. On detecting a fault, the analog
modules output the signal value "7FFFH" irrespective of the parameterization.
With regard to diagnostic evaluation, differentiation is made between configurable and nonconfigurable diagnostic messages. In the case of configurable diagnostic messages,
evaluation only takes place when diagnostics has been enabled by means of
parameterization ("diagnostic enable" parameter). The non-parameterizable diagnostic
messages are always evaluated irrespective of the diagnostic enable.
Diagnostic messages trigger following actions:
SF LED on analog module lights,
if applicable channel fault LED,
Transfer of diagnostic message to CPU,
Diagnostic interrupt triggered (only if diagnostic interrupt has been enabled in the
parameterization).

as a wire break or short-circuit to M, provided this interrupt function is enabled. Diagnostic
functions inhibited by parameterization cannot trigger an interrupt. The CPU interrupts
processing of the user program or low-priority classes and processes the diagnostic interrupt
module (OB82).
Process interrupt
The working range is defined by programming a high and low limit. The module triggers a
process interrupt if the process signal, such as the temperature of an analog signal module,
is out of this working range, provided limit value interrupts are enabled. The interrupttriggering channel can be identified based on the local data of OB 40 in the user program.
Active process interrupts trigger process interrupt execution (OB 40) at the CPU, i.e. the
CPU interrupts execution of the user program or of jobs of a lower priority class. If there are
no higher priority classes pending processing, the stored interrupts (of all modules) are
processed one after the other corresponding to the order in which they occurred.
Process interrupt lost

Channel events such as overshoot/undershoot of limits are saved to memory and trigger a
process interrupt. The event is lost if a further event is generated at this channel before the
CPU has acknowledged the process interrupt, i.e. before OB 40 was executed. This status
triggers a "process interrupt lost" diagnostics interrupt. The relevant diagnostics interrupt
must be enabled.
Further events at this channel are not logged until interrupt processing is completed for this
channel.
Structure of the start information tag OB40_POINT_ADDR of OB 40

The limit values exceeded by the different channels are entered in the start information of
OB 40 in the tag OB40_POINT_ADDR. The figure below shows the assignment of bits in

Start Information of OB40: Which event has violated limits and triggered a hardware
interrupt
A hardware interrupt programmed to be triggered at the end of scan cycles allows you to
synchronize a process with the scan cycle of the analog input module. A scan cycle includes
the conversion of the measured values of all active channels of the analog input module. The
module processes the channels in succession. When all measured values are successfully
converted, the module reports the existence of new measurement data at its channels to the
CPU by means of an interrupt.
With an end-of-cycle interrupt, bits 20 ... 23 and 28 ... 31 are set to 1. You can always use
this interrupt to load the actual, converted analog values.

Characteristics of Analog Modules

The input and output values of the analog modules are dependent on the supply voltage of
the analog module and on the operating status of the CPU.

Notes on the module

An external voltage supply L+ (24V) is not required for the analog input module SM 331; AI 8
x TC/4 x RTD.
If thermal resistors (e.g. Pt100) are used for external compensation, connect them to
channels 6 and 7.
If a compensation box is used for external compensation, connect it to channel 7.
Notes on the front connector

You can use the front connector 6ES7392-1AJ20-0AA0 only for the analog input module
6ES7331-7SF00-0AB0.
If you use a front connector, you attain a higher accuracy of temperature measurements with
thermocouples in the measurement mode "Internal compensation". The accuracy of the
internal reference junction temperature is 1.5 K when this front connector is used at
ambient temperatures from 0 to 60 C.
You can connect lines of 0.25 mm2 to 1 mm2.
The use of this front connector results in no restrictions regarding the licenses of the module.
Alternatively, you can use the front connector 6ES7392-1AJ00-0AA0, but without the
increased accuracy.
Parameterization
The functions of the analog input module SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD are set
with STEP 7 (refer to the STEP 7 online help), or
in the user program with SFCs.
Default settings
The analog input module features default settings for integration time, diagnostics, interrupts
etc..
These defaults apply to modules which were not reprogrammed in STEP 7.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Channel groups
In the analog input module SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD, 2 analog input channels are
combined to form one channel group. Parameters can always only be assigned to one
channel group, i.e. parameters which are specified for a channel group are always valid for
both channels of this channel group.

Special feature of resistant measurement

Only one channel per channel group is required for the "resistance measurement". The "2nd"
of the group is used for current sinking (IC).
With access to the "1st" to read the measured value. The "2nd" channel of the group is
preset with the overflow value "7FFFH".
During diagnostics, the 1st channel provides the actual status (in compliance with
parameterization) and the 2nd channel "free of faults".
Non-connected input channels

You must short-circuit activated and non-connected channels of the analog input module
SM 331; AI 8 x TC/4 x RTD. This way you ensure optimum interference immunity for the
analog input module. Deactivate all non-connected channels in STEP 7 in order to reduce
module cycle times.
Configurable measuring modes

You can set the following measuring modes on the analog input module SM 331;

1 In
the case of internal compensation in the module, all 8 channels are available for temperature
measurements also with different times of thermocouples.
The module returns the terminal temperature when the input is short-circuited.
This does not apply to thermocouple type B, which is not suitable for measurements in the
ambient temperature range.
2 This type of measurement supports the following compensations:
Use of a compensation box
The compensation box must be compatible with the type of thermocouple connected. Terminated at
channel 7.
Use of thermal resistors in climatic range (e.g. Pt100) for compensation.
The absolute terminal temperature is determined in the climatic range with a thermal resistor (e.g. Pt
100) for compensation purposes. In this case, the thermocouples to be compensated can be of
different types.
Terminated at channels 6 and 7.

The accuracy of temperature measurement with external

The accuracy of temperature measurement with internal
compensation (terminal temperature) results from:
154
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11


Due to the constant increase in the thermocouple characteristic at higher temperatures, the error in
the compensation element is less effective than at temperatures in the vicinity of the compensation
temperature. Exception: Thermocouple types J and E (relative linear progression)
1
Due to the little increase in the range from approx. 0 C to 40 C, the lack of compensation of the
reference junction temperature has only a negligible effect in the case of thermocouple type B.
Deviation of measuring temperatures when using thermocouples type B without compensation and
measurement type "0 C compensation" setting:
700C and 1820C < 0.5C

500 C and 700 C < 0.7C.
"Internal compensation" should be set if the reference junction temperature closely corresponds to
the module temperature. This reduces the error for the temperature range from 500 C to 1820 C to
< 0.5 C.

The SM 331-7RD00 (6ES7 331-7RD00-0AB0) module reaches lower safety-relevant
technical data for the connection of active encoders (see the first amendment of the
certificate) if the unused transducer outputs (terminals 3, 7, 12 and 16) are locked with
plastic bolts. Use for example M3 x 8 plastic screws for this (see diagram below).

Parameterization
The functions of the analog input module SM 331; AI 4 x 0/4...20 mA are set
in STEP 7
Default settings
The analog input module features default settings, for example, of the integration time, of
diagnostics functions, and of interrupts which apply if the module parameters were not edited
in STEP 7.
Channel groups
The channel group is allocated to each input channel for parameterization of the analog input
module SM 331; AI 4 x 0/4...20 mA. Advantage: You can specify separate parameters for
each channel! The table shows the allocation of the channels to channel groups:

Wire break recognition is not possible for the current range 0 to 20 mA. For the current range
from 4 to 20 mA, the input current dropping below I x 3.6 mA is interpreted as a wire break
and, if enabled, an appropriate diagnostic interrupt is triggered.
Influencing by HART signals

When implementing transducers with HART protocol, you should preferably program
integration times of 162/3, 20 or 100 ms in order to keep the influence of AC modulation on
the measuring signal to minimum.

SIMATIC S7 HART Analog Modules
Most of the examples listed in this manual refer to the use of HART analog modules with
PROFIBUS DP interface modules.
Overview
There are two analog input modules and two analog output modules each with HART
functions in the product range of the SIMATIC S7 Ex-HART analog modules.
SM 331; AI 2 x 0/4...20mA HART (HART analog input module),
Order number: 6ES7 331-7TB00-0AB0
(Revision 5)
(Revision 7)
SM 332; AO 2 x 0/4...20mA HART (HART analog output module),

(Revision 5)
(Revision 7)
The electrical properties of Revision 5 and Revision 7 modules are identical. The modules
differ only in the interfaces (parameters, diagnostics, user data and HART request interface)
and in the HART functionality and the supported HART version.
4.1
Using HART analog modules
Basic characteristics
The SIMATIC S7 HART analog modules belong to the category of SIMATIC S7-Ex analog
modules. Their basic properties were described in section "Simatic S7 Ex analog modules"
and also apply here.
You can operate the HART analog modules as part of the distributed I/O ET 200M with the
interface modules:
As of IM153-2BA00 or as of IM153-2BB00 as coupling to PROFIBUS DP.
As of IM153-2BA20 as coupling to PROFIBUS DP for the modules 6ES7 331-7TB100AB0 and 6ES7 332-5TB10-0AB0.
As of IM153-4BA00 as coupling to PROFINET IO.
In this application, the ET 200M is the HART master for HART devices (intelligent field
devices). The IM153 directs the commands (for example, parameter assignment) that come
from the HART client
(for example, SIMATIC PDM or programmed via the data record interface of the HART
analog modules) through the HART analog module to the intelligent field devices. The reply
comes back the same way. In the figure below, the gray line represents the communication
path in an application with PROFIBUS DP.

4.1 Using HART analog modules
Figure 4-1
Location of the HART analog modules in the distributed system
Application in the system

The HART analog modules are used in the distributed I/O connected to the PROFIBUS DP
or PROFINET IO.
You can connect one field device to each of the two channels on a HART analog module:
the module acts as a HART master, the field devices as HART slaves.
Various software applications, such as SIMATIC PDM, can send or receive data to or from a
transducer via a HART analog module. They can be compared to clients for which the HART
analog module is the server.

Definition of HART
Introduction
This section provides you with an introduction to HART from a user's perspective:
Definition of HART
Advantages of HART analog modules
Typical applications of HART
Definition
"HART" stands for "Highway Addressable Remote Transducer"
The HART functions enable you to operate the analog modules in conjunction with digital
communication. The HART protocol is generally accepted as a standard protocol for
communication with smart field devices: Hart is a registered trademark of the "HART
Communication Foundation" (HCF), which retains all rights for the HART protocol. You can
find detailed information about HART in the HART specification.
Advantages of HART
The use of HART analog modules has the following advantages:
Compatible connection to analog modules: current loop 4 - 20 mA
additional digital communication with the HART protocol
low power requirements with HART, important for use in hazardous areas
a wide range of field devices with HART functions are now available
integration of the HART functionality in the S7 system when using HART analog modules
Typical applications
The following are typical applications of HART:
Installation of field devices (central assignment of parameters)
Modification of field device parameters online
Display of information, maintenance data and diagnostic data for field devices
Integration of configuration tools for field devices via the HART interface

HART functions
Introduction
The HART protocol describes the physical characteristics of transmission: Data transfer
procedures, message structure, data formats, and commands.
HART signal
The following diagram shows the analog signal with the modulating HART signal (FSK
procedure). The HART signal is composed of sine waves at 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz and has a
mean value of zero. It can be filtered out with an input filter, leaving the original analog signal
unaffected.

HART commands and parameters

The adjustable properties of the HART field devices (HART parameters) can be set with
HART commands and read using HART responses. The HART commands and their
parameters are defined in three groups with the following properties:
universal
common-practice
device-specific
Universal commands and their parameters must be supported by all manufacturers of HART
field devices; common-practice commands should also be supported. There are also devicespecific commands that apply to a particular field device.
Examples of HART parameters

The following table shows the HART parameters of the different groups:
Table 4- 1
Examples of HART parameters
Parameter group
HART field device parameters
universal
Measured or manipulated value (primary variable), manufacturer name,

process tags or final control element ID, additional measured values or

Burst mode
Burst mode means that a command initiates cyclic response of the slave. This response is
sent repeatedly until the mode is deactivated by the master device.
Data and status

HART commands are often transmitted without data, because they are used to start a
processing function. HART responses always contain data. The HART response frame
always includes status data which you should evaluate in order to validate the response.
4.2.3
Application of HART
System environment for HART use

To use a smart field device with HART functionality, you require the following system
environment (see diagram below):
current loop 4 - 20 mA
HART configuration tool:
You can assign the HART parameters either with an external HART handheld device or
with the configuration tool, SIMATIC PDM. The configuration tool accesses the HART
analog module directly, whereas the HART hand-held device is connected parallel to the
field device. SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is available as autonomous
(stand-alone) tool or embedded in STEP 7 HW Config or PCS 7.
180
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

HART system connection:
The HART analog module assumes the function of a "master," in that it receives the
commands from the HART configuration tool, forwards them to the field device, and then
sends back the responses. The interface of the HART analog module comprises data
records which are transmitted via the I/O bus. The data records must be created and
interpreted by the HART configuration tool.
Interface IM153-2 (PROFIBUS DP) and IM153-4 (PROFINET IO) for HART configuration
tool:
DP Connection which is capable of master class 1 as well as master class 2 functionality.
Figure 4-3
System environment required for HART
Error handling
The two HART status bytes transmitted with each response of the field device contain error
information relating to HART communication, HART commands and device status, (see
"HART communication data records").
These are evaluated by the HART analog module, among other devices, and made available
in the system via the S7 diagnostic mechanisms.

Application in the system

A sample configuration is used to show you how to start up a HART analog module with the
field devices connected, and the points you should take into consideration during operation.
You can find more information on the operation of the field devices in the integrated help for
SIMATIC PDM.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Note
You must connect the DM 370 dummy module between the IM 153 interface module and
explosion-proof I/O modules, which include HART I/O modules, whose signal cables lead
into the hazardous area. In a distributed configuration with an active backplane bus, you
should use the explosion-proof partition (6ES7 195-1KA00-0XA0) instead of the dummy
module.
4.3.2
Setting Up the HART Analog Module and Field Devices
Installation
Commission the HART analog modules using STEP 7, and the intelligent field devices
connected using the SIMATIC PDM programming tool:
Configuring and assigning parameters
1. Plug the HART analog module into the ET200M distributed I/O system. "Configuring and
assigning parameters" to the associated station in the SIMATIC Manager with STEP 7:
Start by double-clicking on the "Hardware" icon.
2. Select the ET 200M distributed I/O with a High Feature IM153 from the module catalog
and attach this to the PROFIBUS (note the DP slave address) or PROFINET IO network.
3. Insert the HART analog module in the desired slot and assign the module parameters:
You start the parameter assignment dialog by double-clicking the HART analog module in
the selected slot.
With HART Revision 7 analog modules, you can also configure up to 8 additional HART
variables in the user data area of the module using the parameter assignment dialog in
HW Config. See 4.5.1 for more on this.
4. Insert the HART field devices in the corresponding channels.
When you insert a HART field device, the field device already connected in the "Device
Selection (Reassign)" configuration dialog is identified via the "Device identification".
5. Download the configuration for the station which also contains the parameters for the
HART analog module, to the programmable logic controller.
6. The field devices are configured with SIMATIC PDM via the channel to which the field
device is connected:
You start by double-clicking the HART field device configured on the channel.
7. Now you can configure the field devices using the SIMATIC PDM configuration tool:
Within SIMATIC PDM, you see a device-specific configuration interface based on the
type of the connected field device. You must have installed the EDD of the field device,
the IM 153, and the HART analog module beforehand.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
183

Modifying the parameters of the field devices

Note that the field devices report a configuration change to the HART module whenever you
edit their parameters. This leads to a diagnostic interrupt on the programmable logic
controller, provided this option is enabled. During commissioning it can be advantageous to
disable the diagnostic interrupt when you assign parameters to the HART analog module.
A diagnostic interrupt can also be triggered, if enabled, during parameter modification with
the handheld.
See also
Parameters of HART Analog Modules (Page 185)
4.3.3
Operating Phase of the HART Analog Module and Field Devices
Operating phase
In the operating phase you must distinguish between the cyclic return of user data, the
acyclic HART operation and the cyclic HART communication.
Cyclic process data such as the measured values can be requested from the automation
system PROFIBUS DP master class 1) The user data area with input and output data is
available for this.
the acyclic operation for diagnostics and modifying the parameters of the field devices is
carried out with the SIMATIC PDM parameter assignment tool or with a HART hand-held
device using HART commands and HART responses.
You can establish HART communication via read/write data record.
The operating phase
1. Switch the programmable logic controller to "RUN": User data are transmitted cyclically
via PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO.
2. You can evaluate the user data cyclically in your user program. With HART Revision 7
analog modules, up to four HART variables of the connected transducer are provided for
evaluation in the user data.
3. You can perform diagnostics and re-configuration of field devices with the configuration
tool, SIMATIC PDM:
You start by double-clicking the HART field device configured on the channel.
4. You can send HART commands to the connected transducers at any time via the data
record interface of the HART analog modules. For example, you can re-configure the
transducers or read data from the transducers.
See 4.4.6.3 for Revision 5 modules or 4.5.7.3 for Revision 7 modules.

4.4 HART Analog Modules - Revision 5
Access to the field devices

The HART analog module generally accepts the modification of parameters for the field
devices. Access rights can only be allocated using the configuration tool.
Modifying the parameters of the field devices

To modify the parameters of the field devices connected to the HART analog modules,
proceed as follows:
1. To modify the parameters of a field device, enter a HART command using the SIMATIC
PDM configuration tool.
2. The HART analog module triggers a diagnostics interrupt when it detects new field device
parameters, provided diagnostics interrupts are enabled.
Information on status
After you have modified the parameters of a HART field device, the corresponding bit is set
in the device status of the connected field device (= HART status byte). This should be
regarded as an indicator and not as an error and is reset by the module. For more
information, see the "HART status bytes" section.

HART measurement
The green HART status display indicates that HART measurement is enabled at a channel
and that HART communication is active. When HART starts up, the HART analog module
transmits the HART command 0 to the field device, followed by HART command 13. The
resulting HART response data (for example "long frame" address and "tag"), are entered in
the diagnostic data record 131 or 151. When it is operating, the HART analog module
continually sends the HART command 1 to update the value of the primary variable. This
value is entered in the user data area.

HART output mode

If you have activated the HART output mode for a channel and HART communication is
running, the green HART status display lights up. When HART starts up, the HART analog
module transmits the HART command 0 to the field device, followed by HART command 13.
The resulting HART response data (for example "long frame" address and "tag"), is entered
in the diagnostic data record 131 or 151. When it is operating, the HART analog module
continually sends the HART command 1 to update the value of the primary variable. This
value is entered in the user data area.

Diagnostic Functions of HART Analog Modules
Overview of diagnostic functions

If errors occur during configuration or parameter assignment, or during the operating phase,
you can use diagnostics to determine the cause of the error. The general diagnostic behavior
of the HART analog module corresponds to that of the other SIMATIC S7-Ex analog
modules.
Diagnostic messages
The diagnostic messages for the analog input modules are shown in the table "Diagnostic
messages of the analog input module SM 331"; the diagnostic messages for the analog
output modules are shown in the table "Diagnostic messages of the analog output module
SM 332". The additional diagnostic messages are listed in the following table:

HART status bytes

Each HART command is followed by a HART response containing data and status bytes.
The status bytes provide information regarding
Device status of the connected field device (e.g. modification of parameters)
Communication error during transmission between HART analog module and the
connected field device
Command error during interpretation of the HART command by the connected field
device (warning, rather than error)
The HART status bytes are entered in the response data record unchanged. Their
significance is described in the technical specifications for HART. You can read the device
status in your user program by using SFC59 or SFB 53 to read the corresponding data
records.

4.4.3
Interrupts of the HART Analog Modules
Overview of the interrupts

The interrupt response of the HART analog module is similar to that of SIMATIC S7 Ex
analog modules. You can set parameters to enable or disable any interrupt.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Hardware interrupts with AI-HART

In this context we distinguish between the "out-of-limits hardware interrupt" and the "end-ofcycle hardware interrupt". You can evaluate the local data in OB40 when a hardware
interrupt is active.

evaluate whether the upper or lower limit set has been exceeded for a particular channel: if a
limit has been exceeded, a "1" is displayed instead of a "0".

Wire break check

Wire break recognition is not possible for the current range 0 to 20 mA.
For the current range from 4 to 20 mA, undershooting the input current of I 3.6 mA is
interpreted as a wire break. When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, the module also triggers
a diagnostic interrupt.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Note
The 200 ohm resistor must be in the measuring circuit when using HART transducers. This
means that a 2-wire HART transducer must be connected to terminals 3 and 5 (12 and 14)
and a 4-wire HART transducer to terminals 5 and 6 (14 and 15).
The 200 ohm resistor is optional in the measuring circuit for standard transducers without
HART.
Note
Observe the prerequisites for an intrinsically safe installation.
Special feature for the connection of active encoders

Lock the unused transducer outputs at terminals 3 and 12 with plastic bolts if you connect
active encoders to the SM 331-7TB00 module (6ES7 331-7TB00-0AB0). You can use M3 x
8 plastic screws, for example (see the diagram below).
Note that these measures reduce safety-relevant data of the module. For information on
safety data, refer to the first amendment of the certificate.

HART Communication Data Records
Transfer data records

HART communication can be operated by up to 7 clients each using two separate channels.
There are 14 separate data transfer areas for this purpose, 7 for channel 0 and 7 for channel
1. Each transfer area consists of a command data record and a response data record.
Coordination rules for HART communication

Each client / channel is allocated fixed data record numbers:

For example, for client 6, channel 0: the command is data record 30 and the response is
data record 32.
After having written a command data record, the client must read the response data
record before it writes the next command data record.
The transfer area of each client is allocated a data ready bit in the user data area, which
is set when new data can be collected.
In Master Class 2 the client can evaluate the "processing state" in the response data
record: if the "processing state" indicates "successful" or "error," the data record contains
current response data or error bits respectively.
All data must be read, because the module can modify the data record if the initial read
operation returns a successful or faulty state.
The status section of the response data record provides information on any errors that
have occurred.
The HART burst mode cannot be used by more than one client at any one time (that is,
only one client can set this operating mode with a command).
210
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Structure of the command data record

The following diagram shows the structure of the data record, which you can use to write a
command in the transfer area of a client. The HART analog module transmits the command
to the connected HART field device.
Figure 4-11
Command data record of the HART analog module
Notes on the command

The same client must not send a second command until the response to any previous
command has been read. In order to prevent interim execution of the commands of other
clients, the client must set the "indivisible command sequence" bit in its command:
The inseparable command sequence is maintained as long as the bit "inseparable
command sequence" is set.
The inseparable command sequence is terminated if the bit "inseparable command
sequence" is not set, or automatically after 10 seconds by the module.
While an inseparable command sequence is set for one client, one command from each
of the other clients can be stored temporarily in the buffer. The stored commands are
processed once the inseparable command sequence has been terminated.
Notes on response
Always make sure that you are reading the current response data record.
If the processing state in the response data record indicates "successful" or "error," the
data record contains current response data or error messages respectively.
Alternatively you can evaluate the "data ready" in the user data area: the transfer area of
each client is allocated a bit in the user data area which is set when new data arrives.

Structure of the response data record

The following figure shows the structure of the response data record, which contains the
response to the HART command you sent previously and any error or status bits.

Response data record of the HART analog modules
Evaluating the response data

When you have an up-to-date response data record, you can check the following:
Look for the "last command" entry to verify that the response belongs to the command
sent.
You can evaluate the "Group error bits" (see following table) to locate individual errors.
You can obtain more information from "HART protocol errors during response" (see
following table) and both HART status bytes.
In the group error bytes the corresponding bits will be set to "1".

Default parameter assignment for DP master class 2

HART analog modules which are not in parameterized state, for example after power failure,
can receive default parameters from PROFIBUS DP master class 2 when the PLC is in OFF
state. This is carried out with the aid of parameter data record No. 250 which consists of one
byte with the value unequal 0. However, the assignment of default parameters can only be
initiated when the module is in an unparameterized state. You can determine the state of the
module by reading the diagnostic data record.

HART Analog Modules - Revision 7
Overview
The following SIMATIC S7 HART analog modules are described in this section:
This section provides the information you need to use the modules as a HART interface.
The HART Analog Modules Revision 7 offer the following in comparison to Revision 5
modules:

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
219

You can use HART 5, HART 6 and HART 7 transducers.
You can also configure up to 8 additional HART variables in the user data area of the
module using the parameter assignment dialog in HW Config.
The mapping of HART commands and HART responses to S7 data records is based on
the PROFIBUS Profile HART Version 1.0. See 4.5.7.3.
Requirement
The HART Analog Modules Revision 7 can be used as of STEP7 V5.5 + SP4 and
SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.1.
The modules can be used on PROIFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO in connection with the
respective High Feature interface modules
IM 153-2, 6ES7153-2BA02-0XB0 or
IM 153-4, 6ES7153-4BA00-0XB0.
Integration of the HART analog modules based on the PROFINET IO standard is possible
with the current GSDML file (as of GSDML V2.3 Siemens ET200M 20140124.xml) for
IM153-4.
Field devices can be configured with SIMATIC PDM V6.1 and higher or SIMATIC PDM V 8.1
SP 1.
You need the EDD for the ET 200M for this. For PROFIBUS DP as of EDD V1.1.17 and
PROFINET IO as of EDD V770.1.2.
4.5.1
Configuring HART variables
Introduction
Numerous HART field devices make available additional measurement variables (e.g.
sensor temperature). These can be read if they are set accordingly in the field device
configuration in SIMATIC PDM.
Using the HART variables it is possible to adopt the set measured values directly from the
field device into the I/O area of your automation system.
A maximum of 8 HART variables can be configured for HART modules. You assign the
HART variables to a channel in the properties dialog for the module.
Address assignment
The HART modules use 16 input/output bytes (user data). If you configure HART variables,
the modules use an additional 5 bytes of input data for each HART variable.
If you use all 8 HART variables, the HART modules use a total of 56 input bytes (16 bytes +
8 x 5 bytes = 56 bytes).
The "None" configuration occupies no additional input bytes.
No HART variables are placed in the user data area for configuration in run (CIR). However,
an additional 5 bytes of address space are reserved for a subsequent re-configuration.
220
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Configuration of HART variables

You assign the HART variables in STEP 7 HW Config.
You can configure up to 4 HART variables for each channel
PV (Primary Variable)
SV (Secondary Variable)
TV (Tertiary Variable)
QV (Quaternary Variable)
If you want to assign the HART variable later in the user program, use the CiR parameter.
CiR is a placeholder that reserves the address space for a HART variable. You must
configure the HART variables you are not using with the "None" parameter.
Example of a configuration of HART variables

The figure below shows an example for the configuration of HART variables.
Figure 4-19
Example of a configuration of HART variables

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
221

Structure of HART variables

Each HART variable uses 5 bytes of input data and is structured as follows:
Structure of the "Quality Code" byte

The Quality Code (QC) can assume the following values:
Quality Code (QC)
Meaning
0x4C or 0
Initialization: 0 value of IM and 4C of module
0x18
Communication cancelled / no communication
0x0C
Fault in HART device
0x47
HART device is busy
0x84
OK "Configuration changed"
0x80
OK
Reassign HART variables in RUN mode

You can reassign HART variables in RUN mode in S7-400 automation systems with CiR
capability and also in S7-400H systems.
Requirement: HART variable must already be configured in HW Config as PV, SV, TV, QV,
or CiR.

4.5.3
Diagnostic Functions of HART Analog Modules

If errors occur during configuration or parameter assignment, or during the operating phase,
you can use diagnostics to determine the cause of the error. The general diagnostic behavior
of the HART analog module corresponds to that of the other SIMATIC S7-Ex analog
modules.
Diagnostic messages to which parameters can and cannot be assigned

We distinguish between diagnostic messages to which parameters can be assigned and
those to which they cannot be assigned.
You only obtain configurable diagnostic messages if you have enabled diagnostics at the
relevant parameters. Assign the parameters in the "Diagnostics" configuration dialog in
STEP 7.
The analog module always provides non-configurable diagnostic messages, regardless of
the enable state of diagnostic functions.
Actions after a diagnostic message in STEP 7

Every diagnostic message initiates the following actions:
The diagnostic message is entered into the diagnostics of the analog module.
The group error LED (SF LED) on the analog module is lit.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
225

The channel error LED also lights for channel-specific errors.
When "Enable Diagnostic Interrupt" is set in STEP 7, the system triggers a diagnostic
interrupt and calls the OB 82 in the CPU.
Diagnostic message in the measured value of analog input modules

All analog input modules return the measured value 7FFFH as a reaction to errors,
regardless of parameter settings. This measured value indicates either overflow, error, or a
disabled channel.
Diagnostic message via LED

The analog modules indicate module-specific as well as channel-specific errors with their SF
LED (group error LED). The SF LED lights up as soon as the analog module detects an
error. It goes out once all errors are resolved.
In addition, channel-specific errors are displayed via the corresponding channel error LED.

The analog value is set to 0x7FFF. It has no effect on the HART communication.
226
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Underflow
A current less than 1.1845 mA is reported as "underflow" if group diagnostics are enabled
and wire break diagnostics are disabled. The analog value is set to 0x8000. No HART
communication is possible below 1.1845 mA.
Wire break
A current less than 3.6 mA is reported as "wire break" with analog input if group diagnostics
and wire break diagnostics are enabled. Wire break is reported as cleared for a current
higher than 3.8 mA. The analog value is set to 0x7FFF for "wire break". HART
communication is active up to 1.1845 mA.
A wire break check is performed for analog output in the measuring range 4 to 20mA if group
diagnostics are enabled . A wire break is reported for a current lower than approximately 500
A. No HART communication is possible with "wire break".

The interrupt response of the HART analog module is similar to that of SIMATIC S7 Ex
analog modules. You can set parameters to enable or disable any interrupt.
Hardware interrupts with AI-HART

In this context we distinguish between the "out-of-limits hardware interrupt" and the "end-ofcycle hardware interrupt". You can evaluate the local data in OB40 when a hardware
interrupt is active.

The representation of the analog values is the same as for the analog input module SM 331;
AI 4 x 0/4...20mA. The resolution of the input value for the HART analog input module is 15

Default settings
HART measurement is set by default. There are other default settings for integration time,
diagnostics, interrupts. The HART analog module uses these settings when no parameter
modification is carried out in STEP 7.
Wire break check

Wire break recognition is not possible for the current range 0 to 20 mA.
For the current range from 4 to 20 mA, undershooting the input current of I 3.6 mA is
interpreted as a wire break. When diagnostic interrupts are enabled, the module also triggers
a diagnostic interrupt.

Note
The 200 ohm resistor must be in the measuring circuit when using HART transducers. This
means that a 2-wire HART transducer must be connected to terminals 3 and 5 (12 and 14)
and a 4-wire HART transducer to terminals 5 and 6 (14 and 15).
The 200 ohm resistor is optional in the measuring circuit for standard transducers without
HART.

Lock the unused transducer outputs at terminals 3 and 12 with plastic bolts if you connect
active encoders to the SM 331-7TB00 module (6ES7 331-7TB00-0AB0). You can use M3 x
8 plastic screws, for example (see the diagram below).

Introduction
This section contains specific data you need for programming, diagnostics and HART
communication if you want to extend the functionality of STEP7 standard applications or
deploy your own software tool for HART communication.
Configuration and parameter assignment with STEP 7

You can configure and parameterize the HART analog modules with STEP 7. The integrated
help system supports you in this.
You can integrate certain additional functions for writing parameters and reading diagnostic
data in your user program by means of SFCs.

Reading and writing records

To read and write records, use the following SFCs / SFBs:
Read record:
SFC 59 "RD_REC
SFB 52 "RDREC" ( mandatory for Profinet ! )
Write record:
SFB 53 "WRREC" ( mandatory for Profinet ! )

Structure of the HART parameter data records 131/132

There is a specific HART parameter data record for each channel:
Data record 131: HART parameter data for channel 0
Data record 132: HART parameter data for channel 1
Figure 4-24
Data record
These records are not absolutely necessary for the HART operation.
If these records are not transferred to the module after module startup, the HART interface
works with the specified initial values. The number of HART retries and the HART enable are
used in accordance with the parameter data record 1.
However, both HART parameter data records can write to the module at any time during
operation for each data record (for example, using SFC 58 "WR_REC"). The parameters are
applied accordingly by the respective HART channel and overwrite the values currently in
effect.
This way you can also adjust the "Number of preamble bytes", the "Client timeout" as well as
the HART mode to suit your needs.
The transferred HART parameters are not used if an error occurs in DR131 / DR132. The
previous values remain in effect. The error is reported as channel-specific parameter
assignment error in diagnostic data record 1.
Each new parameter assignment with parameter data record 1 sets the HART parameters
back to the "initial values".

4.5.7.2
Diagnostic data records
Structure and contents of the diagnostic data

The diagnostic data of a module consists of the data records 0 and 1:
Data record 0 has a length of 4 bytes and contains system-specific diagnostic data: 4
bytes that are defined system-wide and are valid for HART analog input and output.
Data record 1 has a length of 16 bytes and contains
4 bytes of diagnostic data for an S7-300, which are also in data record 0 and another
8 bytes of module-specific diagnostic data
Diagnostic data record DS0 / DS1

The following diagram shows the contents of bytes 4 to 11 of the diagnostic data. Bytes 12 to

Note
Please note the following points regarding diagnostic data:
If a HART channel error occurs, you can obtain further information by using SFC59 / SFB 52
to read the status in the HART response data record for the relevant client or the additional
diagnostic data record for the relevant channel.

HART communication and information data records
Overview
The mapping of HART commands and HART responses to S7 data records is based on the
PROFIBUS Profile HART Version 1.0. You can find more information on the HART protocol
in the PROFIBUS DP HART Profile Application Guidelines.

Coordination rules for HART communication

HART communication can be operated only by one client per channel. Each channel has a
separate transfer area available. Each transfer area consists of the command and reply data
records.
If a channel is operated by several clients, the reply made available by the module cannot be
securely allocated to one client. The module does not support client management, refer to
data record number 149 (HMD Feature Parameter Process Data).
Each client / channel is allocated fixed data record numbers:
Channel
Client
Data record
Command
80
Response
81
Command
82
Response
83
After having written a command data record, the client must read the response data
record before it writes the next command data record.
The client can evaluate the "processing status" in the reply data record: if the "processing
state" indicates "successful" or "error," the data record contains current response data or
error bits respectively.
All data must be read, because the module can modify the data record if the initial read
operation returns a successful or faulty state.
The status component in the reply record (= HART status bytes) provides information on
whether and which errors have occurred.

Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
253

Structure of the command data record

The following diagram shows the structure of the data record, which you can use to write a
command in the transfer area of a client. The HART analog module transmits the command
to the connected HART field device.
HART commands are processed both in Transparent Message Format and in the Compact
Message Format, see technical specification for HART. The response data from the module,
however, is always provided in the transparent format.
**
Processing a sequence of HART commands as a SHC sequence (Successive HART

Command Mode)
Figure 4-27
Command data record of the HART analog module
SHC sequence
If a HART command is sent to the module with a set SHC bit, then this channel is reserved
for HART commands for 2 seconds. This means that no internal HART command (command
3) is sent to the transducer with this channel.
Each time a HART command with a set SHC bit is sent, the module once again reserves this
channel for another 2 seconds for the HART commands. If a HART command without a set
SHC bit is detected for this channel, or if no further command for this channel occurs within 2
seconds after the previous HART command, then command 3 is cyclically sent to the
transducer for reading the HART variables for the channel.
Notes on the command

The same client must not send a second command until the response to any previous
command has been read.
254
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11

Notes on response
Always make sure that you are reading the current response data record.
If the processing state in the response data record indicates "successful" or "error," the
data record contains current response data or error messages respectively.
Structure of the response data record

The following figure shows the structure of the response data record, which contains the
response to the HART command you sent previously and any error or status bits.
Figure 4-28
Response data record of the HART analog modules
Evaluating the response data

When you have an up-to-date response data record, you can check the following:
Look for the "last command" entry to verify that the response belongs to the command
sent.
You can evaluate the "Group error bits" (see following table) to locate individual errors.
You can obtain more information from "HART protocol errors during response" (see
following table) and both HART status bytes.
In the group error bytes the corresponding bits will be set to "1".

Example of HART programming

For the HART channel 0, the command 01 is to be sent in Transparent Message Format to
the HART device with the address "98 CF 38 84 F0". A positive edge at input 4.0 of a digital
input module leads to the writing of the HART command.
The following assumptions are made:
The module address of the HART analog module in the ET 200M is 512 (200H).
The record is stored in DB80: starting at address 0.0, length 11 bytes.
In this example, DB80 (request record for channel 0) consists of 11 bytes.

--> Automation system
Automation system
An automation system is a programmable logic controller which consists at least of one
CPU, various I/O modules, and operating and monitoring devices.
Backplane bus
The backplane bus is a serial data bus through which the modules communicate with one
another and through which they are supplied with the necessary voltage. The connection
between the modules is created by the bus connector.
The --> I/O bus is a component of the backplane bus.
Backplane bus active

Backplane bus of the distributed I/O system --> ET 200M, which is made of active bus
modules. This is the prerequisite for a configuration with which "inserting and removing" is
permitted during operation.
Baud rate
The baud rate is the speed at which data is transferred. It indicates the number of bits
transferred per second (baud rate = bit rate).
With ET 200 baud rates of 9.6 kBaud up to 12 MBaud are possible.
Bus
Transmission path with two defined ends, shared by all interconnected nodes.
With ET 200 the bus is a two-wire line or a fiber-optic cable.
Bus user
Device which can send, receive and amplify signals via the bus, for example; DP
master, DP slave, RS485 Repeater, active star coupler.

Glossary
CiR
CiR (Configuration in RUN) stands for system modification in RUN. System modification in
RUN by means of CiR allows the configuration of units of an active system with distributed
I/O. Process execution is interrupted for the duration of a brief, assignable period. The
process inputs retain their last value during this time period.
Client
A client can request a service from a --> server. A client can, for example, be a program, a
central module (CPU) or a station (e.g. PC). The client and server can exchange data via
PROFIBUS DP by means of master-slave process, for example. A separate transfer
channel can be assigned to each client to coordinate data exchange between several clients
and the server, for example.
Configuration
Assigning modules to subracks / slots and addresses. A distinction is made between actual
configuration (= actual inserted modules) and calculated configuration. You stipulate the
calculated configuration with the help of STEP 7, COM PROFIBUS. The operating system
can thus detect any incorrect assembly at startup.
Configuring (initialize, assign parameters to)

Included in parameterization is the setting of the behavior of a module or a --> field device by
parameters.
CPU
Central processing unit = CPU of the S7 automation system with a control and arithmetic
unit, memory, operating system, and interface for programming device.
Modules which support diagnostics interrupts report system errors detected to the central
CPU.
In SIMATIC S7/M7: With the detection or disappearance of an error (e.g. wire break), the
module triggers a diagnostics interrupt provided this interrupt is enabled. The --> CPU
interrupts the processing of the user program or low-priority classes and processes the
diagnostic interrupt module (OB82).
In SIMATIC S5: The diagnostic interrupt is reproduced within the device-related -->
diagnostics. It can detect errors, like for example, wire breaks, by means of the cyclic
querying of the diagnostics bit in the device-related diagnostics.
Diagnostics
The detection, localization, classification, visualization and further evaluation of errors,
disturbances and messages.
274
Manual, 09/2014, A5E00172008-11
Glossary
Diagnostics offers monitoring functions that automatically run while the system is in
operation. This hence increases the availability of systems by reducing the installation and
down times.
Diagnostics buffer
The diagnostics buffer is a buffered memory area in the CPU in which diagnostics events
can be stored in the order of occurrence.
Distributed I/Os
Represent I/O units which are installed at distributed locations at a greater distance to the
CPU, instead of being implemented in the central rack. Examples:
ET 200M, ET 200B, ET 200C, ET 200U
DP/AS-I Link
S5-95U with PROFIBUS-DP slave interface
further DP slaves by Siemens or other manufacturers
The distributed I/Os are connected via --> PROFIBUS-DP with the --> DP master.
DP address
Each bus node must be assigned a unique DP address for PROFIBUS DP.
PC/PG or the ET 200 hand-helds have the DP address "0".
DP-Master and DP slaves have a DP address from the range 1 to 125.
DP master
A master that complies with the IEC 617841:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1 standard is known as a DP
master.
DP slave
A slave running on the PROFIBUS using the PROFIBUS DP protocol in accordance with IEC
61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1 is known as a DP slave.
DP standard
The DP standard is the bus protocol of the ET 200 distributed I/O system in accordance with
IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1.
Dynamic parameters
In contrast to static parameters, dynamic parameters of modules can be changed
dynamically by the user program.

Electrically isolated
Electrically isolated I/O modules are isolated from the reference potentials of the control
and load circuit by means of optocoupler, relay contact or transformer circuits. I/O circuits
can be interconnected with a root circuit.
Error handling via OB

If the operating system detects a specific error (e.g. access fault with STEP 7), it calls up
the respective --> organization block (error OB) for this case, in which the further behavior -> of the CPU can be established.
ET 200
The distributed I/O system ET 200 with PROFIBUS DP protocol is a bus system for
interconnecting distributed I/O with a CPU or for interconnecting adequate DP master.
ET 200 features high-speed reaction times as the system only transfers a low data volume
(bytes).
ET 200 is based on the standard EN 50170, Volume 2, --> PROFIBUS.
ET 200 works in accordance with the master slave principle. DP-Masters can, for example,
be the master connection IM 308-C or the CPU 315-2 DP.
DP slaves can be distributed I/Os ET 200B, ET 200C, ET 200M, ET 200U or DP slaves by
Siemens or other manufacturers.
Fault indication
The fault indication is one of the possible reactions of the operating system to a --> runtime
error. The other reaction possibilities are: Error reaction in the user program, STOP state
of the CPU or of IM 153-1.
Fault reaction
Reaction to a runtime error. The operating system can react in the following ways: Put the
programmable controller in the STOP state, call up a --> organization block, whereby the
user can program a reaction, or display an error.
Field
This can be an area of the plant outside the control room where measured values can be
obtained through communication or manipulated values can be sent to actuators.
Or part of a message, e.g. address field or command field, that is dedicated to a particular
function. The dimensions or other regulations for the interpretation of each field are part of
the protocol specification.
Field device
A transducer, that is located on the field and exchanges communication data with the
central system.

organization block is then processed according to the priority of this interrupt.
In SIMATIC S7/M7: The range is defined by parameterization of an upper and a lower limit.
The module triggers a process interrupt if the process signal of an analog signal module
such as the temperature is out of this working range, provided limit value interrupts are
enabled. The CPU interrupts execution of the user program or of jobs of a lower priority
class in order to execute process interrupt OB 40.
In SIMATIC S5: The process interrupt is mapped within the device-specific diagnostics

S7-300 backplane bus

Backplane bus for the S7-300 system. The same backplane bus can also be used for the
distributed I/O system --> ET 200M. There the use of the active backplane bus is also
possible (--> backplane bus, active)
Server
A server provides a service upon request. A server can, for example, be a program, a
module or a station (e.g. PC). The data exchange between the --> A client and server can,
for example, take place via PROFIBUS-DP in the --> master slave procedure.
SFC
--> system function
Signal module
Signal modules form the interface between the process and the automation system. There
are digital input and output modules as well as analog input and output modules.
Slave
A slave can only exchange data with the master upon request from the same.
SM
--> signal module
Static parameters
Unlike dynamic parameters, static parameters of modules cannot be changed by the user
program. You can only modify these parameters in STEP 7 or COM PROFIBUS.
Structure, central
In a centralized configuration, the process I/O devices and central module are located in the
same rack or in expansion units in the same or a neighboring cabinet.
Structure, distributed
The process I/O of a distributed configuration is not installed directly alongside with the CPU
in the same rack or in the same/adjacent cabinet. Distributed I/Os are installed at remote
locations and interconnected via communication bus system.

Glossary
Substitute value
Substitute values are values which are output by faulty signal output modules to the process,
or used to substitute a process value of a faulty signal input module in the user program. The
substitute values can be set by the user (for example, retain old values)
System diagnostics
System diagnostics is the detection, evaluation and the report of errors that occur within the
programmable controller. Examples for such errors are: Program errors or failure of
modules. System errors can be displayed with LED displays or in the STEP 7.
System function
A system function is a function integrated in the operating system of the --> CPU which upon
request can be called up in the STEP 7 user program.
Terminating resistor
power adaptation resistor connected to the bus cable. Always required at the end of cables
or segments.
The ET 200 bus connectors are equipped with switched terminating resistors.
Timeout
If an expected event does not occur within a specified time, this time is known as a "timeout".
In the --> HART protocol there is a timeout for the response of a slave to a message from the
master and for the pause after each transaction.
Transducer
Sensor, measuring transducer, actuator or final control element. A transducer can be
implemented by means of a smart device.
User data
User data is exchanged between a central module and signal module, function module and
communication modules via the process image or via direct access. User data could be:
digital and analog input/output signals from signal modules, control and status information
from function modules.
