CFU PA: Activating PROFIsafe operation mode for field devices
If you want to connect field devices to the CFU PA that support PROFIsafe operation mode

PROFIsafe operation mode may only be activated after commissioning of the field devices. In
the PROFIsafe mode S4, the field device prohibits changes of any kind.
● S4 = PROFIsafe operation mode
● S3 = Prepared for safe mode, check completed
● S2 = Prepared for safe mode, not checked
