are neglected.
Design and Tasks in the Example
Emergency
stop
Laser scanner
Safety door
S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 5
Production cell with access protection
The walk-in production area is monitored with a laser scanner. The service area is
secured by a safety door.
Entering the production area or opening the safety door results in a stop or shutdown of
the production cell similar to an emergency stop.
The system can only be started when the emergency stop is interlock deactivated, the
safety door is closed and the laser scanner detects no one in the protected area. User
acknowledgment is required on site to restart production after the emergency stop has
been activated or the safety door has been opened.
Procedure
Configuration
Using HW Config you configure an ET 200S fail-safe digital input module to connect an
emergency stop switch and the position switches for monitoring a safety door, an
ET 200S fail-safe digital output module to connect a motor, an ET 200S digital standard
electronic module for user acknowledgment and feedback loop, and a laser scanner.
The configuration is described in steps 1 to 8.
Programming
Once the configuration is successfully completed, you can program your safety program.
In our example, a fail-safe block is programmed with an emergency stop, a safety door
function, a feedback loop (as restart protection when there is an incorrect load) and user
acknowledgment for the reintegration. The block is then compiled to a safety program.
The programming is described in steps 9 to 19.
Acceptance test
Supporting measures for acceptance are described in the appendix.

S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 13
Sequence Action Result
4 Change to the "Parameter" tab. Here, you can change the following parameters or accept the
default settings:
- F-parameters (PROFIsafe parameters)
- Module parameters (global module parameters)
- Channel-specific parameters.
In our example, channels 0 and 4 should be connected to a two-channel emergency stop switch
(emergency stop). Make the following settings (as highlighted in the figure):
Note about "F-Parameters": The PROFIsafe addresses must be unique throughout the network
and for all stations. The addresses are assigned automatically to prevent incorrect assignment of
parameters. The PROFIsafe destination address must be set per DIL switch on the F-module. The
PROFIsafe source address is assigned by the F-CPU ("Base for PROFIsafe addresses" F-
parameter).
A valid current safety message frame must be received by the F-CPU within the fail-safe
monitoring time. Otherwise, the fail-safe module goes to the safe state.
The fail-safe monitoring time must be set high enough for the message frame delay to be tolerated
on the one hand, and low enough for the process to react as fast as possible and without
impairment when an error occurs on the other. The calculation table 'S7cotia.xls‘ can aid you in
determining the optimal time. This file is available on the Internet:
http://www4.ad.siemens.de/ww/view/de/ under the contribution ID 19138505.
Leave the default settings for the F-parameters unchanged for our example.
Note about "Module parameters": For a cyclic short-circuit test, you have to use the internal
sensor supplies for all sensors connected to the F-module and deactivate any unused channels.
Otherwise, errors will be detected on these channels.
Leave the default settings for the module parameters unchanged for our example.
Note about "Channel x, y" parameters: The "evaluation of the sensors" and "type of sensor
interconnection" should be configured according to the sensor wiring. The sensor wiring and the
safety quality of the sensor are decisive for the safety class that can be achieved.
Deactivate the channels that are not used.
Note about "1oo2 evaluation", "Behavior at discrepancy" and "Discrepancy time" (see
highlight in figure): The "Discrepancy time" configure here starts when different levels (or same
levels with nonequivalence testing) are detected for two associated input signals ("1oo2
evaluation” of the sensor). When discrepancy time expires within the module and depending on
the configuration of the discrepancy response, the "last, valid value" or "0" from the affected input
channel is made available to the F-CPU.

5 In our example, channels 1 and 5 should be connected to the position switches for monitoring a
two-channel safety door. Make the following settings (as highlighted in the figure):
6 Deactivate the unused channels 2, 6 and 3, 7 by unmarking the
"Activated" check boxes and confirm your changes with "OK".
A message window opens
informing you that the safety
program must be compiled
again due to your change.

(6ES7 138-4FB01-0AB0)
2 Double-click on the 4 F-DO DC24V / 2A in the configuration
window to set the properties of the output module.
The dialog box "Properties -
4 F-DO DC24V / 2A” opens.
3 Select the "Addresses” tab (See F-DI Configuration above).
Leave the default address "6" for our example.
Note: If you wish to change the values, you need to ensure that
the start addresses of the input and output data range are
assigned identical values.
4 Change to the "Parameter" tab. Here, you can change the following parameters or accept the
default settings:
- F-parameters (PROFIsafe parameters)
- Channel-specific parameters.
In our example, a motor should be indirectly switched on channel 0 through two contactors. Make
the following settings (as highlighted in the figure):
Note about "F-Parameters": See Step 4.
Leave the default settings for the F-parameters unchanged for our example.
Note about "DO channel x" parameters: Each output channel has its own configurable readback
time. This time specifies the maximum duration of the shutdown test for the corresponding channel
and it therefore also specifies the readback time for the shutdown cycle of the channel.
You use a wire break test for monitoring the connection of the output to the load.

Now you are ready to program the safety program.
S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 19
Programming the Safety Program
F-I/O Data Blocks
For each compilation in HW Config, an "F-I/O DB" is automatically created for each F-I/O
and a symbolic name is entered for it in the symbol table. You can view the F-I/O DBs
generated for the example I/O in the block container. These are the F-data blocks
DB 819, DB 820 and DB 821.
The symbolic name of the F-I/O DB is made up of the fixed prefix "F," the start address of
the F-I/O, and the names (maximum 17 characters) entered in the F-I/O object properties
in HW Config.
Symbolic name in our example:
- "F00000_4_8_F_DI_DC24V": fail-safe digital input module 4/8 F-DI DC24V
(= DB 819)
- "F00006_4_F_DO_DC24V_2A": fail-safe digital output module 4 F-DO DC24V / 2A
(= DB 820)
- "F00012_196": SIGUARD LS4-4/P1 laser scanner (= DB 821).
You can access the variables of the F-I/O DB with "fully qualified DB access" (that is, by
specifying the symbolic name of the F-I/O DB and by specifying the name of the variable).
F-Shared DB
The "DB 818" in the block container of our example is "F-Shared-DB". The F-shared data
block is a fail-safe block that is automatically inserted and contains all of the shared data
of the safety program and additional information needed by the F-system.
Procedure
In our example, a fail-safe block should be programmed with a safety door function, an
emergency stop function (safety circuit for shutdown when an emergency stop occurs,
when the safety door is open or when someone enters the protected area monitored by
the laser scanner), a feedback loop (as restart protection when there is an incorrect load)
and user acknowledgment for the reintegration. The block should then compiled to a
safety program.
Inputs and outputs in the safety program
Following the configuration of the hard as described in steps 1 to 8, the following fail-safe
I/O DBs are available for programming the example safety program:

Step 10: Edit and Save the F-FB in the FBD Editor
Sequence Action Result
1 Double-click on the F-FB in SIMATIC Manager. The dialog box for assigning a
password for the safety program
opens.
2 Enter (2x) a max. 8-digit password for the safety program, for
example, "pw_fprog".
The FBD/LAD Editor opens, see
figure below.

Note: The F-FBD and F-LAD programming languages correspond in principle to the standard
FBD/LAD languages. The standard FBD/LAD editor in STEP 7 is used for programming.
The primary differences between the F-FBD and F-LAD programming languages and their
standard counterparts are limitations in the operation set and the data types and the address areas
that can be used (see S7 Distributed Safety, Configuring and Programming manual).
The following are displayed in the F-Program Elements Catalog:
• Supported operations
• F-FBs and F-FCs from the block container of your S7 program
• F-blocks from F-libraries, e.g., F-application blocks of Distributed Safety F-library (V1), for
safety door monitoring etc.
• Multiple instances.

A5E00320726-01 27
Sequence Action Result
Note: If you require Boolean constants "0" and "1" in your safety program to assign parameters
during block calls, you can access the "RLO0" and "RLO1" variables in the F-shared DB using fully
qualified DB access. In our example, the F-shared DB in the block container has the number
"DB 818" ("F_GLOBDB".VKE1).
Note: In fail-safe programming, you cannot interconnect, supply with "0" or evaluate the enable
input EN or the enable output ENO.
4 Save the F-FB. The F-block is subjected to a

Step 15: Programming the User Acknowledgment for Reintegration of the F-I/O
Sequence Action Result
1 Insert the following statical variable for the F-FB:
- auxiliary memory bit "AMB03".
2 Insert a new network.
3 You need to provide a user acknowledgment for each F-I/O in your safety program for the
reintegration through the ACK_REI variable of the respective F-I/O DB as shown in the figure
below.
The non-safe "Acknowledgment button" signal in the standard program has a light blue
background.
Symbolic name in our example:
- "F00000_4_8_F_DI_DC24V": fail-safe digital input module 4/8 F-DI DC24V (= DB 819)
- "F00006_4_F_DO_DC24V_2A": fail-safe digital output module 4 F-DO 24 V DC / 2A (= DB 820)
- "F00012_196": SIGUARD LS4-4/P1 laser scanner (= DB 821).
Note: A user acknowledgment with a positive edge at the ACK_REI variable of the F-I/O DB is
required for the reintegration of the F-I/O (i.e. for switching from fail-safe values (0) to process
data) after an error is corrected:
- After every communication error
- After F-I/O errors or channel errors when the parameter ACK_NEC = 1.
4 Save the F-FB and ensure that no errors have occurred by
checking the "Error" output window of the FBD/LAD Editor.
The F-block is subjected to a
consistency test and saved
once it completes the test
successfully.
The programming of the user
acknowledgment is now
completed.
5 Close the F-FB and the FBD/LAD Editor. You have programmed the
functionality for the task
involved in the example and can
now specify the F-runtime
group.
S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 29
Step 16: Specify the F-Runtime Group
Sequence Action Result
1 In the SIMATIC Manager, select the Options > Edit Safety Program menu command. The
"Safety Program" dialog box appears.
2 Click on the "Runtime Groups..." button.
Note: F-blocks must not be called directly in an OB; rather, they
must be inserted into one (or two) F-runtime groups.
The dialog box "Edit F-Runtime
Groups” opens.
S7 Distributed Safety
30 A5E00320726-01
Sequence Action Result
3 Click on the "New..." button to open the "Define New F-Runtime Group" dialog box.
Make the following settings for the F-runtime group:
• Enter "FC100" as the F-CALL call block for the new F-runtime group. This FC is automatically
created as soon as you exit the "Edit F-Runtime Groups" dialog with "OK."
• Define the F-program block of the F-runtime group by selecting the previously programmed F-
FB from the drop-down list that you want to define as the F-program block for the F-runtime
group, "FB100" in our example.
• Since the F-program block is a function block in our example, assign an instance DB to it (for
example, "DB 100"). This I-DB is automatically created as soon as you exit the "Edit F-
Runtime Groups" dialog with "OK."
• Set the maximum cycle time of the F-runtime group to "100 ms".
The dialog box should now appear as follows.
Note: The F-CALL is the F-block for calling the F-runtime group from the standard user program.
The F-CALL includes the call for the F-program block and the calls for the automatically added F-
blocks of the F-runtime group.
You create the F-CALL, but you cannot edit it.
Note: The F-program block is an F-FC or F-FB (with instance DB) that becomes the F-program
block when assigned to the F-CALL. You can do the following in the F-program block:
• Program the safety program with F-FBD or F-LAD
• Call other created F-FBs/F-FCs for structuring the safety program
• Insert F-blocks from the F-Application Blocks block container from the Distributed Safety F-
library (V1)
• Insert F-blocks from "custom F-libraries"
The user defines the call sequence of the F-blocks within the F-program block.
Close the dialog box with "OK".
S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 31
Sequence Action Result
4 You return to the "Edit F-Runtime Groups” dialog which now appears as follows:
Close the dialog box with "OK".
5 A message window opens asking if you wish to create any other
blocks that are still needed. In our example, these are the F-
CALL ("FC100") and the I-DB for the F-program block
("DB 100").
Confirm by clicking on "Yes".
The remaining blocks are
created and saved. The
message window then closes.
6 You return to the "Safety Program” dialog which now appears as follows:
The safety program has now been created but has not yet been compiled. The collective signature
of all F-blocks with the F-attribute in the block container and the collective signature of the safety
program differ (as highlighted in the figure).
S7 Distributed Safety
32 A5E00320726-01
Step 17: Compile the Safety Program
Sequence Action Result
1 Click on the "Compile" button in the "Safety Program" dialog.
A consistency test is performed on the F-blocks involved in the
runtime when the safety program is compiled, in other words
the safety program is checked for errors. Any error messages
are output in an error window. Once the consistency test is
successfully completed, the additionally required F-system
blocks are generated automatically and inserted into the
runtime group to create an executable safety program.
Following a successful
compilation, the block container
always contains a consistent
safety program composed
entirely of F-blocks with the F-
attribute. See figure below.
2
The collective signature of all F-blocks with the F-attribute of the block container and the collective
signature of the safety program must match (as highlighted in the figure); in other words, a
consistent and executable safety program has been generated.
Click "Close" to confirm. The "Safety Program” dialog box closes.
S7 Distributed Safety
A5E00320726-01 33
Step 18: Call the Safety Program in the Cyclic Program
Sequence Action Result
1 The safety program is accessed by calling F-CALL from the standard user program. Call the F-
CALL in the cyclic interrupt OB 35 as shown in the figure.
Note: You need to insert the cyclic interrupt OB 35 beforehand in the SIMATIC Manager.
Note: Cyclic interrupt OBs have the advantage of interrupting the cyclic program execution in OB1
of the standard user program at fixed time intervals; that is, a safety program is called and
executed at fixed time intervals in a cyclic interrupt OB.
Once the safety program is executed, the standard user program resumes.
2 Save and close OB 35. The block is saved.
S7 Distributed Safety
34 A5E00320726-01
Step 19: Download the Complete Safety Program to the F-CPU and Activate the Safety
Mode
Sequence Action Result
1 In the SIMATIC Manager, select the Options > Edit Safety
Program menu command.
The "Safety Program" dialog box
appears.
2 Activate the "Download" button. All F-blocks with the F-attribute
belonging to the safety program
are identified and downloaded to
the F-CPU.
3 A note is displayed offering you the option of downloading the standard user program in addition to
the safety program.
Confirm by clicking on "Yes".
Note: If you are downloading F-blocks only, the block in which the F-CALL block is called (cyclic
interrupt OB35 in our example) is not downloaded. You then have to download this OB the same
way as for a standard program.
Note: To download the entire safety program, the F-CPU has to be in STOP mode.
4 In the "Safety Program" dialog box, select the "Offline" and
"Online" option buttons in turn to check whether the collective
signatures of all F-blocks with F-attribute in the block container
match offline and online.
If they match, downloading was
successful. If not, repeat the
download operation.
5 To activate safety mode, switch the F-CPU from STOP to RUN
mode.
Note: Once a safety program has been created, you need to
perform a full function test for your automation tasks (see S7
Distributed Safety, Configuring and Programming manual).
You have now finished creating
the safety program for the tasks
involved in the example.

Appendix 1: Modifying the Safety Program
Sequence Action Result
1 Change the example safety program so that no user acknowledgment is required for an OSSD
signal (Output Signal Switching Device) from the laser scanner.
To do this, program the emergency stop function (Network 2) as shown in the figure.
Note: Changes to the safety program during operation (in RUN mode) can only be made in
deactivated safety mode. You make changes to F-blocks offline in FBD/LAD Editor in the same
way as for a standard program. F-blocks cannot be modified online.
Refer to the corresponding chapter describing how to modify and test the safety program and
deactivate the safety mode in the S7 Distributed Safety, Configuring and Programming manual.
2 Save the F-FB. The F-block is subjected to a
consistency test and saved
once it completes the test
successfully.
S7 Distributed Safety
36 A5E00320726-01
Sequence Action Result
3 In the SIMATIC Manager, select the Options > Edit Safety Program menu command.
The "Safety Program" dialog box appears.
Note: You have changed and saved an F-block of the safety program and therefore created an
inconsistent safety program. In other words, the collective signature of all F-blocks with the F-
attribute in the block container and the collective signature of the safety program differ (as
highlighted in the figure).
4 Note: You must deactivate safety mode of the safety program
to download changes to the safety program in RUN mode.
Safety mode remains deactivated until F-CPU is next switched
from STOP to RUN mode.
Check to see whether "Safety mode activated" is indicated as
the "Current mode". If it is, activate the "Safety mode" button
and enter the password for the safety program.
Another prompt will appear. This
prompt contains the collective
signature of the safety program
in the F-CPU.
5 Confirm the prompt to deactivate safety mode with "OK."
Warning
Deactivation of safety mode is intended only for test purposes,
commissioning, etc. Whenever safety mode is deactivated, the
safety of the system must be ensured by other organizational
measures, such as operation monitoring and manual safety
shutdown.
Safety mode will be deactivated.
6 Download the modified F-FB from the FDB/LAD Editor to the F-
CPU (same procedure as for the standard program).
The F-FB is loaded in the F-
CPU.
7 Test the changes to the system or view the "Program status
online".
Once the test is successfully
completed, continue by compiling
the safety program.

8 To apply the changes to the safety program and get a consistent safety program again, press the
"Compile" button.
The dialog box should now appear as follows.
The collective signature of all F-blocks with the F-attribute of the block container and the collective
signature of the safety program must match; in other words, a consistent and executable safety
program has been generated (as highlighted in the figure).
9 Click on the "Download" button to download the modified safety
program to the F-CPU.
All F-blocks with the F-attribute
belonging to the safety program
are identified and downloaded to
the F-CPU.
10 In the "Safety Program" dialog box, select the "Offline" and
"Online" option buttons in turn to check whether the collective
signatures of all F-blocks with F-attribute in the block container
match offline and online.
If they match, downloading was
successful. If not, repeat the
download operation.
11 To activate safety mode, switch the F-CPU from STOP to RUN
mode.
Note: After creating a safety program, you must perform a full
function test for your automation tasks.
After modifying a safety program that has already be fully
tested, it is sufficient to only test the modifications (see S7
Distributed Safety, Configuring and Programming manual).
You have now finished adapted
the safety program for the
modified task (see Sequence 1
above).

Program" dialog.
4.) Click "OK" to confirm.
5.) Select "All" for the print range of the "Hardware
Configuration" and mark the option "With parameter
description.
Confirm with "OK".
Note: You need to archive all four printouts and logs of the
function tests.
The "Print Safety Program”
dialog box opens.
The safety program is printed.
2 Check the printout.
The collective signatures in the footer of the printout (each with
the collective signature of all F-blocks with an F-attribute in the
block container and signature of the symbols) must match in all
four printouts.
3 Activate the "Online" option to run a check in the "Safety
Program" dialog (the safety program must be loaded):
The online collective signature of all F-blocks with F-attribute in
the block container must match those in the accepted offline
printout and no unused F-CALL may be present in the online
safety program.
Note: Additional important notes and instructions about
acceptance of the safety program are available in the S7
Distributed Safety, Configuring and Programming manual.
If these checks reveal any
deviations or errors, recompile
the safety program and perform
the acceptance procedure again.
