4.2.4.2
Input delay
Function
To suppress injected interference, you can set an input delay for a channel or a channel pair.
Interference pulses whose pulse time is less than the set input delay (in ms) are suppressed.
Suppressed interference pulses are not visible in the process image input (PII).
A high input delay suppresses longer interference pulses, but results in a longer response
time.
The set value for the input delay has to be smaller than the configured "Startup time of
sensors after short-circuit test" and smaller than the configured "Time for short-circuit test".
With 1oo2 evaluation, the input delay of the lower-order channel (channel n) automatically
applies to the higher-order channel (channel n+8).
Note
If there is an input delay < 3.2 ms, you have to use shielded cables.
Note
Due to the physical properties, there is a possibility of crosstalk between signals in the case
of long, unshielded signal lines (see section "Electromagnetic compatibility" in the system
manual S7-1500 Automation System
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/59191792)).
If the interference pulses occur with a short-circuit test, the fail-safe digital inputs are
passivated. Increase the input delay or use shielded signal lines in order to prevent possible
passivation of the fail-safe digital inputs and switch-off of the internal sensor supply.
