Attribute Meaning
Minimum/ A minimum/maximum value represents the limit or operating
maximum value guaranteed by SIEMENS. This value must not be
violated during operation within other limits.
Typically The typical value applies under nominal conditions and at an
ambient temperature of 25 °C. The typical value can be
violated on account of component tolerances.
Approx. The "approx." value is a value that has been rounded up or
down (the weight of a module, for example).
Without attribute Values without an attribute are rated values, not values subject
to tolerance.

Introduction
Signal modules for process automation are part of the S7-300 I/O module range,
which offers functions in addition to those of “standard“ I/O modules:
• Process-related functions
– Pulse lengthening
– Flutter monitoring
• Enhanced diagnostics
• Provision of identification data
You can make full use of these additional functions in an ET 200M, which is used
in the PCS 7 process control system.
It is not possible to use the modules described in this manual in an S7-300
(centralized configuration).
Declaration
The “signal modules for process automation“ are referred to below as “process
control modules“.
Hardware Requirements
You will require the IM 153-2 as of the following version as a DP slave interface:
• IM 153-2 as of 6ES7 153-2AA02-0XB0, Version 07
• IM 153-2 FO as of 6ES7 153-2AB01-0XB0, Version 06

A5E00085262-03 1-1
Product Overview
Software Requirements
You will require the following to configure and parameterize the process control
modules:
• STEP 7 as of V 5.1 (SP1 or SP2) and SIMATIC PDM as of V 5.1
• STEP 7 as of V 5.1 SP3 (without SIMATIC PDM)
• PCS 7 as of V 5.1 or V5.2/V 5.2 SP1 and SIMATIC PDM as of V 5.1
• PCS 7 V 5.2 SP2 (without SIMATIC PDM)
• COM PROFIBUS as of V 3.0 and SIMATIC PDM as of V 5.1
• For use in non-SIEMENS systems: configuration software for the DP master
and SIMATIC PDM as of V 5.1
Note
When using STEP 7 as of V5.1 SP3 and PCS 7 V 5.2 SP2, you must
parameterize the modules of the process control system with STEP in HW-
Config.
When using later versions of STEP 7, configuration is done with SIMATIC PDM
as of V5.1. The subsequent chapter, in which the parameterization with SIMATIC
PDM is described, refers only to the STEP 7 Versions of V5.1 SP1 and 2 as well
as PCS 7 V5.1, V5.2, V5.2 SP1.
After upgrading to STEP 7 V5.1 SP3 or PCS 7 SP2, you must reparameterize the
module parameters of the already process control modules installed with STEP 7
(HW-Config). You will the no longer be able to use the identification and message
functions of the process control modules.
Changing from STEP 7 V 5.1 later SP 3 to STEP 7 V 5.1 SP 3

Configuration is done only with HW-Config of STEP 7 V 5.1 SP3 will.
The use of PDM is not allowed as soon as STEP 7 V 5.1 SP3 is installed on your
engineering system.
You have configured your modules with PDM until now, proceed as follows:
1. The modules should not be deleted in the configuration so that the I/O
addresses and symbols are retained.
If you deleted and reconfigure the modules, the I/O addresses may be
reassigned and the symbols are to be remodified.
2. Reconfigure all the channels of the modules in the HW-Config.
3. Download the configuration to PLC.

Product Overview
Integration in Process Control System

The following section is valid for STEP 7 V 5.1 SP 1 and SP2 as well as for PCS 7
V 5.1, V 5.2, V5.2 SP 1
PCS 7 is a powerful process control system. With PCS 7 and the process control
modules, the ET 200M has a direction connection to the process control system.
This is also evident from the following:
• Parameterization of the process control modules with SIMATIC PDM (add-on
package for STEP 7)
• The evaluation and continued processing of the input/output signals is executed
using PCS 7 driver blocks in the DP master CPU.

Configuration
This step involves configuring and parameterizing the ET 200M using the
programming device.
Configuration
You configure the ET 200M with STEP 7 / COM PROFIBUS or with appropriate
configuration software. At configuration, you only set the basic features of the DP
slave (the network parameters, for example).
Parameter Assignment
At parameterization, you set the parameters of the ET 200M and the inserted
modules:
• You parameterize the ET 200M and “standard“ I/O modules with STEP 7.
• You parameterize the process control modules with SIMATIC PDM.
Cyclic Data Transfer Via PROFIBUS DP

Cyclic data transfer takes place between the CPU (S7-400, for example) and the
ET 200M. The following data is transferred:
• The cyclic user data of the inputs and outputs, including the input value status
• The diagnostic interrupts
This data is prepared in the CPU by the PCS 7 driver and the CFC (Continuous
Function Chart) for system visualization. This data is then presented on the OS by
means of WINCC.
The parameters (for network configuration, for example) are also transferred
cyclically.
Acyclic Data Transfer Via PROFIBUS DP

Acyclic data transfer takes place between the process control modules of the ET
200M and the programming device/PC (SIMATIC PDM). The process control
modules of the ET 200M are parameterized by means of this acyclic data transfer.
Information data is also transferred and displayed in SIMATIC PDM .
• Diagnoses and interrupts
• Data sets (only with S7)

2.5 Diagnostics by Means of the Process Input Image
Introduction
In addition to the diagnostic messages by means of LED and module/DP
diagnostics, the module 6ES7 321-7TH00-0AB0 also provides additional
information on the validity of each input signal – the value status. The value status
is stored in the process image like the input signal.
Value status
The value status is additional binary information on a digital input signal. The value
status is entered at the same time as the process signal in the process input image
and provides information on the validity of the input signal. The value status is
influenced by
• Sensor or power failure
• Wire break check, short circuit in sensor line
• Flutter monitoring
• Diagnostics for the changeover contact type of sensor
Meaning of the value status:
• “1“: Signal is valid
• “0“: Signal is invalid

Figure 2-2 Digital Input and Value Status Assignment
Evaluation of the Value Status in PCS 7

The value status is evaluated in your CFC program with block FC 277 “CH_DI:
Digital Input“. This module undertakes the processing of the digital input value of
S7-300-Digital input modules.
How the value status gets into the block:
1. Link the symbol created with STEP 7 in the symbol table for the digital input
channel with the VALUE input parameter.
2. Link the status symbol of the value of the digital input channel with the
VALUE_QC input parameter
3. Set the PQC = TRUE input parameter
If you use the driver wizard in PCS 7 (as of V 5.1), steps 2 and 3 are executed
automatically by PCS 7.

4.3 Parameter Descriptions
4.3.1 Flutter monitoring
Introduction
Flutter monitoring is a process control function for digital input signals. It detects
and reports any unusual signal patterns such as, for example, when an input signal
fluctuates too often between “0“ and “1“. The occurrence of such signal patterns
indicates that the sensor is faulty or unstable.
Enabling Flutter Monitoring

You enable flutter monitoring by means of the “Diagnosis: Flutter error“ .
Tip: Also enable the group diagnosis at parameter assignment so that, if there is a
flutter error, a diagnostic interrupt is also reported in addition to the diagnostic
entry.
Detecting Unusual Signal Patterns

A parameterizable monitoring window is available for each input channel. The
monitoring window is started with the first change of the input signal. If the input
signal changes more within the monitoring window than the parameterized number
of signal changes, this is recognized as a flutter error. If a flutter error is not
detected within the monitoring window, the monitoring window is started again at
the next signal change.
Reporting a Flutter Error

If a flutter error occurs, the current signal state is entered in the process image and
the value status of the signal is set to “invalid“. In addition, the “flutter error“ is
entered as diagnostic information, and an incoming diagnostic interrupt is triggered.
You must evaluate and process the value status and the diagnostic information in
the user program.
Resetting a Flutter Error

If no further fluttering of the input signal is detected during the triple monitoring
window, the diagnostic entry is removed and an outgoing diagnostic interrupt is
triggered. The value status of the current signal in the process image is set to
“valid“.
Principle
The following figure illustrates the principle behind flutter monitoring.

4.3.2 Pulse lengthening
Introduction
Pulse lengthening is a function for changing a digital input signal. A pulse at a
digital input is extended to at least the parameterized length. The input signal will
not be changed if it is longer than the parameterized length.
Principle Behind Pulse Lengthening

The following figure illustrates with examples if and how input pulses are changed.

4-10 A5E00085262-03
Note
If you parameterize pulse lengthening for an input channel, this also affects the
flutter monitoring enabled for this channel. The “pulse-lengthened “ signal is the
input signal for flutter monitoring. Make sure therefore that the parameters for pulse
lengthening and flutter monitoring correspond to each other. By selecting the
appropriate values for the parameters, you can customize the functions to suit your
process as well as possible.

4.4 Sensor
4.4.1 Connection Rules for Sensors
Introduction
Because of the large number of sensors that can be connected to the digital input
module, you must take the sensor load into account at configuration. You will find
in this chapter ...
• recommendations on how to connect sensors
• An overview of the sensor-specific load
• A rule for the evaluation of the sensor-specific load
• An example
Sensors Can Be "Combined "

You can connect a wide variety of sensors to the SM 321; DI 16xNAMUR , and
these can also be “combined“.
At parameter assignment, you can specify which sensors are to be connected to
which channel group. The same sensor type is assigned to the channels of a
channel group.
Changeover contact
Changeover contacts always occupy two adjacent inputs (for example, 0 and 1 or 2
and 3, etc.). Make sure you adhere to the following rule:
• Always connect the normally open contact to the “even“ channel,
• Normally closed contact is always connected to “odd“ channel.
2 Sensor Supplies: 18 V and 8,2 V

The SM 321; DI 16xNAMUR has two different sensor supply voltages. The
following table shows you which sensor to attach to which sensor supply:

Evaluation
You should not use the planned sensor connection above as follows:
• Can be used up to a maximum of 40 °C, but
• The sensor load is asymmetrical.
What to do:
• When you use the module up to a maximum of 40°C: Reassign the sensors to
the channels so that the sensor load is as symmetrical as possible.
• When you use the module up to a maximum of 60°C, use an additional module
to reduce the sensor load below the specified factor of 3.7.

4.5.2 Diagnosis with a Sensor of the Changeover Contact Type
Brief Description
In the case of diagnosis with a sensor of the changeover contact type, the module
monitors switching between 2 input channels. If after the specified switchover time
(see the technical specifications) there is no change in signal on the partner
channel, the module issues a diagnosis.
Purpose
You can use the diagnosis as follows:
• For a diagnosis of the sensor
• To check that there was definitely a switchover between the normally open
contact and the normally closed contact

A5E00085262-03 4-23
Principle
If the digital inputs of a channel group are parameterized as “changeover contacts“,

the module for this channel group carries out a diagnosis for the changeover
contact type of sensor. The tolerated switchover time between the two channels is
fixed at 300 ms and cannot be changed.
If the check is negative, then:
• The module identifies the value status of the normally open contact channel as “
invalid “.
• The module creates a diagnostic entry for the normally open contact channel.
• The module triggers a diagnostic interrupt.
The digital input signal and the value status are only updated for the normally open
contact channel. The digital input signal for the normally closed contact channel is
fixed at “zero“, and the value status is set as “invalid“ because this channel is only
supposed to check the sensor.

In this table, you will find all the diagnostic messages of the digital output module
that can occur in DP–Diagnosis and module diagnoses STEP 7.
The module reports the diagnoses for each channel. A visual indication is given by
the SF– LED.
You can activate/deactivate and parameterize the diagnosis by means of the
“Group Diagnosis““ parameter.

Behavior at M-Short circuit

If output signal = “1“ the digital output module reports “M-Short circuit“.
If output signal = “0“ the digital output module switches to the safer status and the
Status-LED turns off.
Note: The digital output module reports a P-Short circuit regardless of the signal
status.

In This Chapter
This chapter describes the structure of the diagnostic data in the system data. You
must be familiar with this structure if you want to evaluate the diagnostic data of the
signal modules in the STEP 7 user program.
In PCS 7 , the CFC diagnostic block carries out the evaluation of the diagnostic
data automatically.
Further Sources
You can find a detailed description of the principle behind the evaluation of the
diagnostic data of the signal modules in the user program and a description of the
SFCs you can use to do this in the System and Standard Functions reference
manual.
Data Records 0 and 1 of the System Data

The diagnostic data of a module is contained in data records 0 and 1 of the system
data area.
• Data record 0 contains 4 bytes of diagnostic data, which are the same for all
modules and describe the current status of an S7-300/ET 200M.
• Data record 1 contains:
– 4 bytes of diagnostic data of data record 0 and
– The remaining bytes containing the module-specific diagnostic data
Structure and Contents of the Diagnostic Data

Below you can find descriptions of the structure and contents of the individual bytes
of the diagnostic data.
Generally speaking, if an error occurs, the corresponding bit is set to “1“.

BERO
A position switch that works without any touch or contact being involved. A
distinction is drawn between inductive and capacitive BEROs.
Flutter monitoring
Flutter monitoring is a process control function for digital input signals. It detects
and reports unusual process control signal patterns such as a fluctuation in the
input signal between“0“ and “1“that occurs too often.
Sensor
Sensors are used for the precise detection of digital signals and paths, positions,
speeds, revolutions, weights, etc.
Identification Data
Identification data is information stored in a module that supports the user with the
following:
• Checking the configuration of a system
• Locating changes to the hardware of a system.
Pulse lengthening
Pulse lengthening is a function for changing a digital input signal. A pulse at a
digital input is extended to at least the parameterized length. If the input pulse is
already longer than the parameterized length, it is not changed.
NAMUR
Normenausschuss für Mess- und Regelungstechnik (German standardization
committee for measurement and control engineering)
Changeover Contact
Auxiliary switch with only one contact piece that has a closed position for when the
switching device is closed and another closed position for when it is open.

A5E00085262-03 8-1
Glossary
Value status
The value status is additional binary information on a digital input signal and
provides information on the validity of the input signal.
