4.2 Explanation of parameters
4.2.1.3
Reintegration after channel fault
Use this parameter to select how the channels of the fail-safe module are reintegrated after a
fault.
Use in S7-300/400 F-CPUs
This parameter is always set to "Adjustable" when you use the fail-safe module in S7-300/400
F-CPUs.
You make the required setting in the F-I/O DB of the fail-safe module.
Use in S7-1500 F-CPUs
When using the fail-safe module in S7-1500 F-CPUs, you set this parameter in the STEP 7
dialog of the fail-safe module:
• "Adjustable"
• "All channels automatically"
• "All channels manually"
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate channel", you
enable individual setting of the reintegration type per channel with the parameter
assignment "Adjustable". The reintegration type of the respective channel is specified with
the "Channel failure acknowledge" channel parameter.
If you have set the "Behavior after channel fault" parameter to "Passivate the entire module",
you can only select the same reintegration type for all channels.
4.2.2
Parameters of the channels
4.2.2.1
Maximum test period
With this parameter, you specify the time within which the light, dark tests (complete bit
pattern test) should be performed throughout the module. When this time expires, the tests
are repeated. In case of a fault, the test period is reduced to 60 seconds.
• Use "1000 s", for example, to conserve your actuators.
• Use "100 s" to detect faults more quickly.
