AddFEM Fields of application

1.1 Classification and features

The add-on products of the Add 7 product family provide solutions for specific and
high-performance applications in the field of process control and automation
engineering.
The Front End Module of the Add 7 product family is tailored to the special
requirements of high-speed turbine control systems (different signal types,
redundancy, high-speed acquisition and preparation of process data, etc.) AddFEM
supports the implementation of loop control systems in the gas-, steam- and water-
driven and industrial turbines sector. The AddFEM is also suitable for integrated
automation and loop control applications where the emphasis is set on high-speed
system reaction times.
The AddFEM offers highly versatile combination options. It supports integration in
SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC PCS 7 systems, and in SPPA-T3000 or SIMADYN D.
The AddFEM operates in DP standard slave mode, and is controlled via
PROFIBUS DP. The loop control and automation functions are handled as usual by
the automation processor.

Signal inputs and outputs

The AddFEM is equipped with analog and digital IOs, including counter inputs for
the acquisition of velocity control data.
Due to the optimized composition of signals, and based on an organization by the
various signal types, smaller applications can be easily handled by a single
AddFEM module. More complex applications, of course, can be handled by
integrating several modules.
Each AddFEM provides the following signal inputs and outputs:
- 12 analog inputs, of which six may be operated as current inputs, while the
remaining six may be configured in SIMATIC Manager or COM-PROFIBUS
for operation as current or voltage inputs
- 8 analog outputs
- 15 digital inputs, of which three are available as counting pulse inputs for the
acquisition of velocity control data with and without detection of the rotational
direction
- 16 digital outputs, optionally operable as digital inputs
Due to the design of its analog IO measuring ranges, the AddFEM does not require
any additional signal transducers when operated in turbine loop control systems. In
addition to the usual measuring ranges 0 mA to 20 mA, 4 mA to 20 mA and ±20
mA, the module provides a ±30 mA measuring range. An additional ±50 mA
measuring range at the analog outputs supports the control of final control element
with higher current consumption, such as fuel control valves, without additional
signal amplifier.
All analog and digital outputs are short circuit-proof and monitored, and can be
wired in parallel with other outputs. The analog and digital circuits are electrically
isolated.

A5E00075541C-06
AddFEM Fields of application

For further technical specifications of the IO, refer to section 4.

Higher availability due to redundancy

Redundancy in this context refers to the integration of a "1 of 2" structure.
Availability is enhanced by means of parallel operation of two AddFEM modules. If
one AddFEM fails as a result of error, the standby module automatically takes over
the functions.
Redundancy of an AddFEM 6DL3100-8AA is controlled by the integrated functions
in the automation processor configuration. In contrast, this redundancy control is
integrated in the system performance of an AddFEM 6DL3100-8AB/-8AC. The
redundancy coupling function on this module is implemented by a fiber optic
interface which is used to transfer the status and update data. The extensive,
integrated redundancy mechanisms and self-diagnostics functions of AddFEM
support automatic error detection and redundant changeover, without any user
intervention.

Redundant PROFIBUS DP connection

The AddFEM is equipped with two PROFIBUS DP interfaces (DP A and DP B)
which operate in parallel which support the implementation of redundant system
structures. All process input data are routed to both PROFIBUS DP interfaces,
whereas only the process output data of the currently active DP interface are
passed to the output pins. The process output data of the currently passive DP
interface are analyzed for the purpose of monitoring. The master standby status of
both DP interfaces, i.e. the definition of which DP interface is active or passive with
respect to the output data can be set by the automation processor.

Preparation functions
Certain partial automation functions, such as the position control of turbine loop
control circuits, can be swapped to the AddFEM as preparation functions. These
functions are referred to as front-end function (FEF.)

GSD file
The PROFIBUS DP parameters and properties of the IO (measuring ranges,
filtering, for example) of an AddFEM operated on SIMATIC S7 and SIMATIC PCS
7 systems can be set in SIMATIC Manager using HW Config. When operated on a
SIMADYN-D system, the corresponding settings are programmed using the COM-
PROFIBUS software package.
For information on using the GSD file, refer to the “readme.pdf“ on your AddFEM
CD.

Module power supply

The AddFEM power supply is designed to operate at a rated voltage of 24 V DC,
and at a typical current consumption of 20 W. Voltage dips with a duration of at
least 10 ms are buffered. The inrush current is limited to 3 A.
The AddFEM is equipped with an internal 24 V DC power supply for the analog
outputs. The 24 V DC load voltage for the digital outputs must be generated by an
external power supply which is wired to the X7 connectors.

Design
The AddFEM enclosure is made of stainless steel, and is prepared for screw-
mounting or rail mounting.
The signal state of the digital IO is indicated by signal LEDs.
The operating and error states of AddFEM are indicated at 12 separate LEDs. The
mode of operation is set by means of a key switch and slider.
The AddFEM front panel features eight 10-pin connectors (total of 80 IO pins) for
the connection of process IO signals.

Certifications
In addition to the CE label, the AddFEM is also certified to UL/CSA.

1.1.1 Enhancement of 6DL3100-8AC variant (compared to -8AA/-8AB)

The enhanced DPV1 services of AddFEM are in particular suitable to provide
dynamic parameter data (in acyclic mode) to the front-end functions (FEF.) These
enhanced functions also support configuration changes in Run (= CiR =
Configuration in RUN). CiR lets you reconfigure AddFEM parameters, such as
enabling unused channels, or editing the parameters of active channels when
using sensors with different technical specifications. The functionality also includes
an option of reporting alarms with implicit acknowledgment mechanism for use by
the front-end functions.

3.1 General functions

Introduction
Disruptions or errors should be detected, localized and reported within the shortest
possible time. The AddFEM performs a full self-test after POWER ON (Run Up Self
Test), and periodically in normal cyclic operation (Cycle Self Test.)
(see "Technical specifications", section 4.2)

Self-tests/inherent monitoring function:

Components and functions included in the test:
- RAM test
- RAM checksum test (calibration data, program code)
- FEPROM checksum test (calibration data, program code)

Self-tests in cyclic mode

Certain self-test operations must be synchronized with the I/O cycle, and are thus
part of this cycle.
Self-tests within the IO cycle:
- RAM test
- PROFIBUS functionality
- Data transfer host <-> AddFEM
- Data transfer <-> redundant AddFEMs
- Cycle times
- Power supply
- Channel errors of process IO
- Coprocessor monitoring by master processor

Delayed shutoff

After a brief host failure or loss of PROFIBUS DP communications, the process outputs will be
shut down if a programmable tolerance time is exceeded.
This tolerance time can be set within a range from 10 ms to 3 s.
The default is 0.5 s.
(see section 5.6.1 "Adjustable parameters”)

Analog input signal filters

The analog input signals can be filtered digitally. The system provides 50 Hz, 60
Hz, 16 2/3 Hz and 500 Hz* line filters. The filter parameters are set separately for
each analog input (channel-specific) in the parameter frame. Options:
- no filtering
- 50 Hz
- 60 Hz
2/3
- 16 Hz
- 500 Hz*
Default is "Turned off", which means no filtering.
* Configurable as of version 14 of 6DL3100-8AC

3.2 Operating principle of 2-channel speed monitoring with

detection of the rotational direction
Channels 1 and 2 of AddFEM 6DL3100-8AA version 8 or higher, or ADFEM
6DL3100-8AB/-8AC version 7 or higher can be operated in frequency counting
mode with detection of the rotational direction. This function requires the
connection of a suitable (dual-channel) encoder to channels 1 and 2. The leading
signal is connected to channel 1, and the lagging signal to channel 2.
Channel 3 can be used as separate, additional single-channel monitoring function,
without detection of the rotational direction.
The (signed) frequency recorded in dual-channel mode is indicated at both
channels 1 and 2 as follows:
The system calculates the value of the indicated frequency separately for each
channel, based on the pulses of the connected encoder. The sign (rotational
direction) is determined by the phase offset of both channels and assigned to the
channels accordingly.

AddFEM 3-3 Edition 07/2012

A5E00075541C-06
AddFEM Mode of operation

Reaction to the failure of one of the two encoders:

If one of the two signals is lost, the velocity value of the faulty channel is stepped
down to zero as in single-channel recording mode (see section 4 "Technical
specifications".) The system freezes the sign status according to its value prior to
the error. This method upholds the detection of the velocity at a single channel
after an error has occurred. However, reversals of the rotational direction can no
longer be detected.
Wire breaks can be detected by means of a parity check of the channel signals, for
example. However, allowances must be made in this parity check for differences
between the channel signals caused by mechanical inaccuracy in the velocity
sensor (tooth edges) and acceleration (see the next section.) Due to the many
possible applications, the channel-specific wire break detection cannot be
configured on the module, but rather in plant-specific parameters on the host
system.

Information about refreshing and possible velocity differences of both channels:

The internal algorithm of the module always calculates the frequency (for
measuring the period) based on signal transitions, and thus at different times at the
two "phase-shifted" encoders.
Velocity changes will therefore cause a slight deviation of the values indicated at
channels 1 and 2, because one of the channels will always return (in alternating
mode) the more recent value. The timeliness and accuracy can be increased in
particular in the lower velocity range by forming an average of both channel values.
Allowances must be made for the following velocity difference (nf) between both
channels caused by acceleration actions:

3.3 Operating modes

System configurations

The AddFEM can be configured for operation in stand-alone or redundant mode on

one or two PROFIBUS DP channels. There are four available system configura-
tions. The configuration must be programmed. See also 5.6.1 “Adjustable parame-
ters”.
The AddFEM module does not automatically detect and adapt a configuration. The
mode of operation is set up on the AddFEM using a PROFIBUS DP parameter
frame, and is determined by the required system configuration.
Note:
The basic setting selected for the AddFEM redundancy mode supports the
replacement of a 6DL3100-8AA module with a 6DL3100-8AB/-8AC module without
conversion of the configuration.

Setting the mode of operation

When using SIMATIC S7, you can configure the PROFIBUS DP parameters in
HW-Config of SIMATIC Manager. Use the COM-PROFIBUS software package to
make the corresponding settings for other systems.

Mode Host AddFEM PROFIBUS

0 single-channel single-channel 1 PROFIBUS DP segment
1 redundant single-channel 2 PROFIBUS DP segments
2 single-channel Redundant 1 PROFIBUS DP segment
3 redundant Redundant 2 PROFIBUS DP segment

Note
After POWER ON, the AddFEM holds the STARTUP (LED RUN flashes) state until
its operating mode parameters are set (see section 5.6.1).

3.4 Redundancy functionality with AddFEM

Increased availability due to redundancy

In this context, redundancy refers to the implementation of a "1 of 2" structure.
Availability is increased by the parallel operation of two identical components. If
one of the components fails as a result of error, the standby automatically assumes
the functions in a bumpless operation. The comprehensive, integrated redundancy
mechanisms and self-diagnostics functions of AddFEM provide an effective means
of automatic error detection and changeover of redundant stations without operator
intervention

Master/Reserve
The terms “master“ and “reserve“ are used below to distinguish the two AddFEM
modules. The “reserve“ AddFEM always operates in synchronism with the “master“
AddFEM, i.e. not only in error case. The process outputs of the “reserve“ AddFEM
are passive, i.e. they do not output any process signals.

Features of redundant AddFEM modules

The system automatically changes over to the redundant unit if one of the AddFEM
fails (“1-of-2” structure.) Bumpless transfer of master mode by means of redundant
fiber optic interface.
After it has detected an error, the AddFEM initiates the master changeover, i.e. it
shuts down the outputs of the previous master, and enables the outputs of the
standby station. This is an almost seamless operation. (For information on
tolerance-specific changeover gaps, refer to the section Technical specifications,
section 4.1)

Fiber optic connection

Redundant AddFEM modules feature a serial, bidirectional fiber optic interface for
redundant communication. This is used to exchange error / redundancy / update
data.

Master/reserve preset
When both redundant AddFEM have a balanced error rating, the status is
determined by the automation processor. This soft preset can also be applied, for
example, to perform a cyclic M/R changeover (24 h intervals.)

Forced master/reserve setting

The AP assigns the master / reserve mode if the fiber optic connection is missing
or faulty

AddFEM 3-7 Edition 07/2012

A5E00075541C-06
AddFEM Mode of operation

Master / reserve changeover

The master module is the active controller until it detects an error in its own
system. In this case, it passes master mode to the standby module.
Note: AddFEM PoCo Plus 6DL3100-8AC05 features additional channel-selective
redundancy mechanisms (see AddFEM PoCo Plus manual).

The handover of the master roles is always performed through error weighting. The
error weight of a module is derived from the weighted sum of all individual errors.
Errors that always affect the function of the module (e.g. memory errors) have a
higher weight, whereas channel errors are handled with the lowest priority for the
error weight.
Channel errors that are included in the error weight are taken from the monitoring
of the 12 analog registrations, the 8 analog outputs as well as the 16 digital outputs
(which can also be used as digital inputs).
Each channel is weighted with the same factor for determining the error weighting.
1. The signal range is monitored for the analog registration. With 4 to 20 mA
signals, a channel error is set at a high or low violation of the range.

Measuring 4-20mA 0-20mA +-20mA +-30mA 0-10V +-10V

range
Signal limit
High 22.96mA 23.70mA 23.70mA 35.55mA 11.85V 11.85V
Low 1.185mA -3.511mA -23.70mA -35.55mA -1.760V -11.85

2. For the analog output, the requested output signal and output signal read back
are compared to determine if they match. A short circuit to ground or wire break
cannot be detected if the output is set to 0.
3. For the digital output, the signal is read back and monitored for short circuit to
ground when the level is output as 1.

Master / reserve changeover without fiber-optic connection

The master station assigns the master / reserve mode if the fiber optic connection
is missing or faulty. The decisive factor is here the current error rating of the
modules.

Process IOs
Redundant AddFEM require absolutely “symmetrical“, i.e. identical input and output
signals (exception: "AddFEM PoCo Plus", see corresponding description).

AddFEM 3-8 Edition 07/2012

Redundancy nodes
Redundant nodes represent fail-safety in systems containing several identical
components. A redundancy node is considered independent, if the failure of one of
the components does not impair the reliability of other nodes or of the entire
system. In a “1-of-2“ system, a component of the redundancy node may fail without
impairing system functionality.

Fig. 3-5 System configuration with two redundancy nodes

The redundant automation processors AP A and AP B shown in Fig. 3-5 execute

the same application software, such as a turbine loop control function, cyclically
and in synchronism. One of the two systems (AP A or AP B) is the ”master” station
and actively controls the outputs. After an error has been detected in the master
system, master control is automatically changed over to the standby station in a
bumpless operation. The redundancy status and additional update information are
exchanged between AddFEM A and AddFEM B across the redundancy coupling.

3.4.1 Redundant PROFIBUS DP connection

The PROFIBUS DP channels are basically of the same priority class. The AddFEM
changes the channels if it detects a DP error, sign-of-life change / error, or when it
receives a GCCL (Global Control Clear) frame. A changeover of DP channels by
the AP is always initiated by the sign-of-life signal. Version 6DL3100-8AC supports

AddFEM 3-9 Edition 07/2012

A5E00075541C-06
AddFEM Mode of operation

the PrmCommand to PROFIBUS Guideline 2.212 for the changeover of DP

channels, and returns the redundancy status for diagnostics functions.

Fig. 3-6 Redundant PROFIBUS DP connection

The AddFEM and AP are interconnected via redundant PROFIBUS DP A and

PROFIBUS DP B bus. Each AddFEM is equipped with two PROFIBUS DP
connections. Both bus segments operate in parallel.
Input data (input) are always transferred in parallel to both automation processors.
The AddFEM outputs only respond to the control signals of one of the two
automation processors AP A or AP B, i.e. it always outputs either the output data of
AP A or of AP B. For this reason, a master/reserve changeover also requires a
corresponding adaptation of the AddFEM output status. The output information of
the passive AP is analyzed for monitoring functions, and is then discarded.
The output-specific changeover is based on various criteria. The system always
changes over to the operable interface as a reaction to coupling failure. In case of
total failure, i.e. if both interfaces no longer receive any frames, the system outputs
safety-oriented zero signals.

Note
In addition to the AddFEM's changeover of bus channels, the automation
processor may also actively initiate a changeover, i.e. it can actively output a
control commend to set the active bus interface DP A or DP B.

3.5 Signal preparation functions with AddFEM

(applies only to 6DL3100-8AC)
AddFEM 6DL3100-8AC supports signal preparation functions for the execution of
specific automation functions, such as the position control in turbine control loops.
These functions can be used to outsource time-sensitive functions requiring short
cycle times for the transfer of data from the master AP to the AddFEM, and thus
relieve the master AP from time-sensitive tasks. This signal preparation function is
referred to as front-end function (FEF.)
The FEF functions are provided as preset functions, which can be especially
configured with additional parameters by the user thus be optimized for the
relevant process.
The following FEF functions can be ordered and the additional functions are
described separately in the appropriate directories on the CD:
- 6DL3100-8AC02: AddFEM PoCo (position control) for fast control
- 6DL3100-8AC03: AddFEM SOE (Sequence of Event) for fast time-stamping of
digital input signals.
- 6DL3100-8AC05: AddFEM PoCo Plus, extension of AddFEM PoCo, in
particular the use of channel-selective redundancy.
Note: Additional customer-specific solutions that have been created only for a
limited group of customers are not listed here; they are described separately.
Siemens offers an extended range of FEF functions. If your current automation
components do not offer any solutions, or only cost-intensive solutions, for
customer-specific applications, you can order customized solutions in the form of
loadable FEF from Siemens.

A) Single-channel mode (without rotational direction detection)
(applies to 6DL3100-8AA/-8AB version 7 or higher, and to all 6DL3100-8AC)
Frequency output will be limited according to the period of the last recorded pulse if
no more count pulses are received. The limit frequency F is derived from the period
T since the last pulse by the formula
F= 1/(T-dead time) * 1.5
The dead time of 0 ms to max. 2 ms is derived from the detection cycle time.
In practical life, we derive the limit frequencies from the output limit (see the table
below), provided the original frequency measured prior to the pulse failure was
higher.
The value will be set to zero on expiration of 10 s. (frequencies below 0.1 Hz are
not recorded.)

B) Reaction of the dual-channel count pulse / velocity detection

(applies to 6DL3100-8AA version 8 or higher; 6DL3100-8AB version 7 or higher,
and all 6DL3100-8AC)
If one of the two channels fails, the velocity value is stepped down to zero as in
single-channel detection. The sign is frozen at the state it had prior to the error
event. It is thus still possible to detect the velocity using only one channel,
however, without detection of any changes in the rotational direction.

Note
For information on wire break monitoring, refer to section 3.2, ”Operating principle
of 2-channel speed monitoring with detection of the rotational direction"

WARNING

False signal acquisition when using old firmware versions and a wire break
occurs
If modules with obsolete versions for count pulse/speed measurement with detec-
tion of rotational direction (e.g., for use of water turbines) are used, in the event of
a sensor failure or wire break the speed and rotational direction may no longer be
correctly detected at times.
This may cause property damage depending on the process control.
For speed measurement and rotational direction detection, use only modules with
the following versions (or later):

to 50 mA / 59.26 mA is only intended for the control of final control elements
with integral action. A max. current of 59,26 mA is provided to this purpose
for a limited time.
The current is monitored by the software and limited as follows.
Mean value limiting: At a current output programmed for operation at ±50
mA, the mean value of the output current is calculated based on a delay
element of the first order which has a time constant of 10 s. If the current
exceed a mean value of 40 mA, both the output current and its mean value
will be limited to ±40 mA.

Information on 1.2/50 ms pulse/surge test:

The surge test simulates high-energy disturbance which might
be coupled to cables with a length of more than approx. 10 m,
thus being superimposed on user signals, depending on
ambient conditions (to standards.)
The period of the various noise signals generated by the
surge pulse lies within the range of the sampling frequency/
cycle time of the module. At those extremely short cycle
times, hardware filtering is an inadequate means of
suppressing noise signals, because of the unwanted filtering
effect on user signals.
The 50 or 60 Hz filter should therefore be switched on at the
analog outputs if surge noise coupling on signal lines is to be
expected due to given ambient conditions and cable lengths.
With active filter, distortion of analog signals due to surge
coupling is reduced to less than 2 %. Without filtering, short-
term signal distortion of 60% can be expected at the analog
inputs.

5.1 Installing the AddFEM

The brackets of the AddFEM are adaptable and are thus suitable for mounting the
AddFEM module on DIN rail, or for wall-mounting.
Always secure the 24 V DC power supply and process cables on the strain relief.

Installation to DIN EN 61131-2

6DL3100-8AA/-8AB/-8AC is an “open equipment“ according to DIN EN 61131–2
standard, and an “open type“ according to UL/CSA certification.
In order to satisfy safety requirements with respect to mechanical strength, non-
inflammability, stability and touch protection, the following installation options are
mandatory:
- Installation in a suitable cabinet
- Installation in a suitable enclosure
- Certified only to DIN EN 61131-2:
Installation in a closed switch room with appropriate equipment.

CAUTION

Danger of burns to hands from hot surface

Hot surface can cause burns
The temperature rise of the metal enclosure at full load is approximately 20 K. At
an ambient temperature of 60 oC, the temperature limit of 70 oC is exceeded. This
limit represents the maximum temperature up to which unprotected contact with-
out risk of injury (according to DIN EN 61131-2) is possible.
Do not touch the enclosure without appropriate protective measures when the
ambient temperature is > 50 oC.

Mounting options
Module mounting options:
• Mounting on double DIN rail (factory configuration)
• Direct screw-mounting on a wall

DIN rail mounting

The minimum clearance (measured center <-> center) between the top and bottom
DIN rail is 165.1 mm (see the dimensional drawing for DIN rail mounting.) The
minimum stiffness of the DIN rail structure must be sufficient to ensure safe fixation
of the module. We therefore recommend the installation of rails to DIN EN 60715
(minimum material thickness: 2.2 mm), with a fastening pitch of less than 25 cm.
DIN rails with a length of 19 inches should be bolted at the sides and in the middle.

How to mount the AddFEM on the rail:

- Place the top fastening strap onto the top of the rail, then "hang in" the
module.
- Push the lower fastening element onto the bottom DIN rail.
- The lower fastening element is slotted at the level of the enclosure bottom.
Insert a flat screwdriver into this slot at an angle, working from the bottom
(see the dimensional drawing of rail mounting), then push the blade towards
the floor panel of the enclosure. This counters the spring force of the clip and
forces the clip down. You can now snap the AddFEM onto the lower DIN rail.
- Remove the screwdriver. The AddFEM is now safely secured.

brackets at its rear, turn them around and screw them on again. You need four M5
screws to bolt down the module. The drawing below shows the bore and pitch
dimensions.

Grounding the module enclosure

The module enclosure must be grounded to ensure EMC compatibility. It suffices to
mount the module onto grounded DIN rails (DIN rail mounting) or a grounded
mounting panel (screw mounting).
If suitable mounting elements are not available, the enclosure must be connected
to ground separately at the grounding screw on the front panel below the module's
power socket. This screw can be connected to a grounded cable.
Additional information on system installation with respect to lightning protection,
grounding etc., refer to the SIMATIC PCS 7 documentation on the Internet e.g.
”Automation System S7-400 Hardware and Installation”

Connecting the module power supply

The 24 V DC power supply is connected to the AddFEM using the dual-pole
connector of the AddFEM connector set, order no. 6DL9900-8AA. At an ambient
temperature of 60 oC, the terminal temperature may reach 70 oC (The cable
insulation should thus be certified for a temperature 75 oC.)

L+: Einspeisung +24 V

Always use solid wire or stranded wire with wire end ferrules to connect the module

Tightening torque of the screw terminals of the connector:
0.5 N/m to 0.6 N/m

WARNING

Danger, high voltage

May cause death or serious injury
The 24 V DC module power supply must be a safety extra low voltage (SELV)
which is safely isolated to mains. Safe electrical isolation may be implemented to
VDE 0100 part 410, corresponding to HD 384.4.41 and IEC 60364-4-41 (as func-
tional extra-low voltage with safe isolation PELV) or EN 60950-1, IEC 60950-1 (as
safety extra low voltage SELV)

Connecting the load voltage supply for digital outputs

AddFEM supplies the 24 V DC load voltage to the analog outputs. The 24 V DC
load voltage for the digital outputs must be generated externally, and is wired to the
X7 connectors.

Connecting the process cables

Cable type: Cables carrying analog signals must be shielded in order to achieve
maximum protection against interference (see ”Supplementary data on safety,
environmental conditions and EMC ”). You may use unshielded cables for the
transfer of digital signals.
In accordance with the UL / CSA certification of the matching front connectors for
sockets X4 to X7 (connectors with 10 screw terminals, AddFEM connector set,
order no. 6DL9900–8AA), process signals may only be connected using solid
copper wire or stranded wire with wire end ferrules (stripped length: 9 mm). At an
ambient temperature of 60 oC, the temperature in the area of the terminals may
reach 70 oC. The cable insulation should therefore be certified to withstand a
temperature of 75 oC.
Tightening torque of the screws when connecting wires: 0.22 N/m to 0.25 N/m.

WARNING

Danger, high voltage

Dangerous contact voltages caused by transients or incorrect connections may
occur in the process and be transferred to the module by way of the connectors.
These voltages may lead to death or serious injury in the event of contact.
Contact by the user with these voltages is possible at the following locations:
• Locking screws of process connectors:
Contact with the locking screws used to secure the cable cores to the
process connectors is possible when attaching the cables or handling the
connection plugs.
• Pins on the module front connector:
If the process connectors are only partially inserted onto the module front
connectors, dangerous contact voltages may be transferred from the fully
inserted pins to the still exposed pins via the module.
Keep the protective cover of the AddFEM closed during normal operation.
If you open the protective cover, first disconnect the connection to the process or
take suitable precautions to prevent contact with the open pins or locking screws.

Cable strain relief

The AddFEM front panel is equipped with a strain relief rack made of metal which
is used to secure the cables and wires using cable ties. You can remove this rack,
including the cables and wires mounted to this rack, by loosening the two screws,
and then mount it onto the replacement module.

Clamping the cable shielding

The shielding of cables carrying analog signals and of PROFIBUS DP cables
should be clamped and grounded upstream of the terminals on the module. If the
cables are not grounded until further downstream at the strain relief, any high-
energy interference from the shielding will be discharged across the module
enclosure, and thus impair the module’s resistance to interference.
You may use unshielded cables for digital process signals.

Wiring the current and voltage inputs

Ground reference:
All analog input channels are configured as differential inputs. Thus, each channel
has the + input signal on its own – input (ground of the individual channel). This
makes it possible to interconnect the current inputs of two AddFEM in series for
redundant current injection.
Please note, however, that such channel-specific grounding (each – input of the
channel) to the analog ground of the analog potential island on which all analog
circuits are located (output with pins 10 and 20 of connectors X4 and X5) may not
have a difference in potential (the "common mode voltage") exceeding +/- 6 V (see,
"Common-mode voltage" in Figure 5-8).
This should be ensured with a suitable connection of the input signal circuit to the
analog ground. This may be at the encoder end (for example, for non-floating
voltage encoder) or at the AddFEM end (recommended made for current
encoders). See the details in the example circuits described below.

AddFEM 5-8 Edition 07/2012

A5E00075541C-06
AddFEM Commissioning, operation, maintenance

Note: If there is no ground reference, analog measurement can still work, because
the common-mode voltage is limited by naturally existing contact resistance. With
only high-impedance ground reference, however, the analog measurement may be
sensitive against electromagnetic interference or electrostatic discharge.

Wiring current inputs singular/non-redundant

Note: Connection of the analog ground to the cabinet ground (dashed line) is not
required for the AddFEM in this case and is not recommended. If the current
encoder (transmitter) requires a connection to cabinet ground, this connection can
be made there.

Selection of the Z diodes for redundant wiring of the current inputs

Z diodes with higher voltage generally have a smaller leakage current and thereby
ensure compliance to accuracy.
Increasing voltage of the Z diodes, however, also increases the common mode
voltage (voltage between – input and M analog of the AddFEM 1 in Figure 5-6) if
an error occurs (AddFEM 2 is pulled in Figure 5-6), reducing the accuracy of the
AddFEM with the pulled partner module (by -0.05% per V, see "Technical
specifications" in section 4.1).

The best results (low voltage and good insulation) can be achieved if, instead of
2.7V Z diodes (for 20 mA inputs) or 3.3 V Z diodes (for 30 mA inputs), a serial
connection of two or three special diodes is used in the flow direction.

We recommend the use of diode ZPD1 (or BZX55C0V8) each connected in series
of two (~ 1.6 V) or three (~ 2.4 V), as shown in Figure 5-6:

If voltage encoders already have a connection to an external ground wire for

voltage signals, the configuration shown in Fig 5-9 should be made. To securely
limit the common mode voltage (see figure), M analog of the AddFEM should be
connected to the ground line, which is also connected to the voltage encoder
(transmitter).

Mixed use of current and voltage inputs

With mixed allocation of the analog inputs with current and voltage sensors, we
recommend to create the ground reference only for the current inputs at the
AddFEM end.
The ground reference of the voltage producing transmitter should be made only at
the encoder end. Otherwise, the ground lines for the voltage signals will connect
with the ground lines for the current signals at the AddFEM. If the current producing
transmitters are not configured as floating, this leads to compensating currents
between the two ground systems (and to a loss of accuracy in the voltage signals).
Note: The central ground point of the system is used to ensure that the ground
reference for voltage signals is connected at a single point to the mass for the
current signals, so that the common mode voltage at the voltage inputs of AddFEM
is not exceeded (see Figure 5-10).

Interconnecting redundant IO
All analog and digital outputs of an AddFEM can be wired in parallel to outputs of
the same type at another AddFEM for the redundant control of final control
elements (see Figure 5-11).
This applies likewise to the analog voltage inputs and digital inputs.
See Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6 for redundant interconnection of current inputs.

Note:
Redundant AddFEM must be supplied with absolutely symmetrical I/O signals.
Individual channels can also be operated in non-redundancy mode and wired
differently only with AddFEM PoCo Plus 6DL3100-8AC05 with extended
redundancy design in redundant configuration.

Redundancy characteristics of the analog outputs

The analog outputs of redundant AddFEMs can only be enabled or disabled on the
AddFEM master. A 50%/50% load distribution between the master and reserve
module is only possible for the control outputs with AddFEM PoCo 6DL3100-
8AC02 and AddFEM PoCo Plus 6DL3100-8AC05.

Cabinet technology
You may install the AddFEM alongside with distributed IO devices or master
processing units of the SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC PCS 7 or SIMADYN-D family in the
same switch cabinet. Siemens has optimized its switch cabinet technology
according to the special requirements of these system families.
The cabinets consist of system-specific and neutral modules which are compliant
with CE standard, i.e. these are compliant with EMC Directives on electromagnetic
compatibility. The cabinets safely prevent unauthorized access, and mechanical
influences, contamination and corrosion.
Due to their modularity and variability, the cabinets can be easily adapted to satisfy
requirements of diverse plant types and dimensions.

Note: If you do not find the displayed error state in Table 5-2, check Table 5-1 to find displays for the operating states in
order to determine if the AddFEM has remained in the module startup phase due to another error.

Note
For EXTF error displays for redundant AddFEM. The EXTF LED indicates errors in the process output signals
(analog outputs, digital outputs). The reserve module assumes the master function if a signal error is detected on the
master module. The EXTF error display, (e.g. after a wire break at the analog output remains stored on the reserve
module, however, and cannot be reset because reserve module no longer outputs signals and therefore cannot
check the line status.
Refer to section 5.5 “Resetting errors with module redundancy” for the procedure for EXTF, if the display has been
caused by an "Analog out" process signal error (e.g. wire break at an analog output) or "Digital out" process signal
error (e.g. short circuit to ground).

5.4 Setting the PROFIBUS DP address

Each PROFIBUS DP node must be assigned a unique address which can be set in
the number range ”1” to ”125.” You can set the PROFIBUS DP address of your
AddFEM using the key switch and slide switch, or in SIMATIC Manager. Both
options are described below. For redundant PROFIBUS DP connections, it may be
useful to assign the same address to both PROFIBUS DP of an AddFEM module.
You may also set different addresses. Any address you assign will be written to the
non-volatile memory area of AddFEM and is thus retained after power failure.
When operating three to four AddFEMs on each PROFIBUS DP segment (typical
configuration in turbine control systems), you should preferably assign addresses
in the lower range, for example,”2”, ”3”, ”4” or ”5”, in order to simplify setup
procedures.

5.4.1 Setting the address of PROFIBUS DP A using the key switch

and slide switch
The next section describes how to set the addresses of PROFIBUS DP A and B.
This setting is made with the help of the key switch and slide switch. The status
LED returns the setup status. The signal LEDs temporarily indicates the set
PROFIBUS DP addresses in binary format. The display is coded according to the
tables below.

5.4.5 Setting the PROFIBUS DP address in SIMATIC Manager

You may optionally use a SIMATIC programming device (PG) in preference of the
key and slide switches described earlier to set the PROFIBUS DP addresses. The
SSA frame (SSA : SET SLAVE ADDRESS) containing the new PROFIBUS DP
address is here transferred to the AddFEM via PROFIBUS DP. Having received
this frame, the AddFEM automatically saves the new address to its non-volatile
memory area for reuse. This setting is made separately for PROFIBUS DP A and
PROFIBUS DP B.
To set the PROFIBUS DP address, connect the PG (PG 740, PG 760 etc.) to the
AddFEM by connecting an MPI patch cable to PROFIBUS DP interface X3A or
X3B.
Run SIMATIC Manager, then select ”PLC” -> "Assign PROFIBUS Address" to
immediately assign a new address. The dialog box also indicates the old, current
address.

5.5 Resetting errors with module redundancy

External errors at the analog or digital outputs (for example, due to external wire
break) cannot be reset by the reserve AddFEM after an error is cleared because
the reserve AddFEM no longer outputs signals and therefore cannot check the line
status. In order to restore the correct redundancy status after external error
correction, these errors must be reset manually on the reserve module.
Use the procedure described below to do this.
Exception: Only applicable to 6DL3100-8AC05: the option now exists to use a
T3000 driver command for online functional testing of analog outputs that were
switched off due to errors and to restart these outputs without any disruption. For
more information, see the manual for AddFEM PoCo Plus 6DL3100-8AC05

NOTICE

Master/reserve switchover is possible following deletion of the saved errors

on the reserve AddFEM, in spite of the presence of output errors
If the saved errors on the reserve AddFEM are deleted, this module can initially
assume the role of master AddFEM again despite the continued presence of other
errors at the outputs.
Only after the reserve AddFEM (with deleted output errors) assumes the master
role is it capable of checking the process execution, detecting pending errors of
the outputs again, and responding to errors appropriately.
If the causes of the errors at the outputs have not been eliminated, the signal out-
put may be incorrect or missing up until conclusion of the error check (duration:
maximum of 12.66 ms for the analog outputs), which may lead to process distur-
bances.
You should therefore ensure that the cause of the error is eliminated before per-
forming this procedure.

NOTICE

Processing of out-of-date error status in the event of a forced mas-

ter/reserve switchover
A forced master/reserve switchover (e.g., by turning the key-operated switch on
the master AddFEM to STOP) also causes the reserve AddFEM to check and
correct the error status after it assumes the master role.
However, the higher-level drivers initially process the old error status still saved.
As a result, corresponding reactions, e.g., switchover from automatic to manual for
upstream controller blocks, may be triggered for a brief time. Depending on the
configuration, the reactions may cause process disturbances.
Therefore, you should only use the procedure describe below.

5.6 Configuring the AddFEM

The AddFEM is configured via PROFIBUS DP according to procedures defined in
the PROFIBUS standard.
The CD supplied with your AddFEM contains a GSD file you can edit using the
usual PROFIBUS configuration tools, such as HW-Config or COM-PROFIBUS.
Based on this file, the configuration tool generates a master parameter data set.
This set will be saved to memory in the automation processor (AP), and
downloaded to the AddFEM within the initialization phase.
For further information, refer to the description of the configuration tool used.
For further information on using the GSD files, refer to "readme.pdf“ on the
AddFEM CD.

5.7 Troubleshooting

5.7.1 Failure and hot-swapping redundant AddFEMs

The decisive factor in ensuring uninterrupted operation of the AddFEM modules is
their hot-swap capability.

Initial situation

Failure Reaction of the AddFEM modules

An AddFEM fails The partner module assumes the master function

Replacement requirements

With 6DL3100-8AC, different revisions are capable of redundancy (with the

exception of revision 13).
The following should be noted for revision 13 only:
The module to be coupled with revision 13 must have the same revision or a later
revision.

Procedure

NOTICE

Undesired master/reserve switchover (when redundancy cable is inserted

online)
If the fiber optic redundancy connector is inserted while the reserve module is
switched on and in RUN mode, this can cause multiple undesired master/reserve
switchovers in the event that errors with equal error weight are pending on both
modules (e.g., due to external faults in process signals connected to both
modules).
If the input signals for the master and reserve AddFEM differ only slightly, multiple
switchover may cause a disturbance in the process execution.
Therefore, you should always follow the described procedure for module replace-
ment (see step 5 in Table 5-10).
