Calculation of the Minimum Monitoring Times

7.4.2.1 Monitoring the F Cycle Time
The monitoring time is assigned parameters at the MAX_CYC input parameter of
the F_CYC_CO fail-safe blocks.
To ensure monitoring is not triggered when there is no fault, MAX_CYC must be
greater than the maximum cycle time TCImax of the relevant cyclic interrupt OB:
MAX_CYC > TCImax
TCImax is at least as large as the configured cycle time TCI of the cyclic interrupt
OB. In the FH system, the maximum disabling time for priority classes > 15 (TP15)
at updating must also be taken into consideration. Thus the following
approximation formulae apply:
TCImax ≈ TCI + MIN(TCiR, 2500)
TCImax ≈ MAX (TCI; TP15) + MIN(TCiR,
2500)
TCImax ≈ TCI + TP15 + MIN(TCiR, 2500)
Note the following:

"Cyclic Interrupt OB with Special Handling" is an H parameter of the CPU in the S7
FH system. The parameter contains the number of the cyclic interrupt OB that is
called separately by the operating system when the standby is updated, after all
the interrupts have been locked. Usually the number of the cyclic interrupt OB with
the highest priority is entered, to which F-blocks of the Safety Program are
assigned in CFC.
Note
To activate the monitoring of the maximum disabling time for priority classes > 15,
you must assign this parameter a value in HWCONFIG (CPU properties, "H
Parameters" tab).
