Configuring a Fail-Safe System with S7-400H (412-5H PN/DP) and Fail-Safe IO

Dear Yogendra,

To configure a fail-safe system with your S7-400H CPU (412-5H PN/DP) and Fail-safe IO, you'll need specific licenses and software. Here's a breakdown:

  • STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal): Essential for programming and configuring the fail-safe system.
  • Safety Integrated License: This is mandatory for using fail-safe functions. The specific license depends on the number of fail-safe IO points you intend to use. See Siemens Support article for details on license selection.
  • Safety Matrix (in STEP 7): Used to define the safety functions and their configuration.
  • Fail-Safe IO Configuration: Configuration data for your specific Fail-safe IO modules will be required within the STEP 7 project.

Important Considerations:

  • Ensure your S7-400H CPU firmware is up-to-date for optimal compatibility.
  • Refer to the Siemens documentation for your specific Fail-safe IO modules for detailed configuration instructions.

Sincerely,
