A.1

Introduction

A.1
Overview
This chapter provides the following information for S7 Distributed Safety and
S7 F/FH Systems:
• F-related monitoring times that must be configured
• Rules to be followed when specifying monitoring times
• Formulas to be used when calculating F-specific minimum monitoring times and where to
• Location where F-related monitoring times are to be entered
• Rules to be followed with calculating the maximum response time of a safety function
Support for Calculations
To assist you in approximating the F-specific minimum monitoring times and maximum
response times for your F-system, Microsoft Excel files are available for each F-system as
follows:
• For S7 Distributed Safety an Excel calculation file is available in the Internet at:
• For S7 F/FH Systems: in
Additional Information
The monitoring and response times for the standard portion are calculated in S7 Distributed
Safety and S7 F/FH Systems in exactly the same way as for standard S7-300 and S7-400
automation systems and are not addressed here. For a description of this calculation, refer
to the hardware manuals for the CPUs.
