SIMATIC VPU200/565 Programming Manual
If the list of failed I/O modules will display on one screen, the CONTINUE
(F2) function key does not appear. If more than one display is required to
show all the failed I/O modules, CONTINUE (F2) function key will place the
next page of failed I/O modules on the screen. Note that this function works
only for those I/O modules that drive the F bit (the module Fail bit). To
determine if the F bit is used in the module you wish to check, see the
manual for that particular module. When you wish to leave this function,
pressing the EXIT (F1) function key terminates the function and returns
the support menu to the screen.
Function 27 (P/C Card Failure Class) allows you to specify whether or not
failure of a particular board (card) will cause the system to fail. After
selecting Function 27 from the menu, a display listing the P/C slot, type of
board, and failure class, is shown as illustrated in Figure 7-5.

The card failure class listing will only show slot numbers that contain
boards. To change the class of a board, use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to
position the cursor in the failure class field for the board to be changed. Use
the F2 key to change the failure class field from "FATAL" to "NON-FATAL"
or vice versa. After F2 is pressed, the displayed failure class of the board
will change to the new class. Some boards must be classed as "FATAL," and
cannot be changed. If a change is made to one of these, the message "CARD
MUST BE FATAL," is displayed.
