"Setting the KP8 and KP8F" checklist

In order to operate the HMI device in a fail-safe manner, the set-up steps in STEP 7 and on
the HMI device are required. Information, such as how to set the F-I/O in STEP 7, can be
found in the Programming and operation manual "S7 Distributed Safety - Configuring and
Programming" (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22099875) and in the
