symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.

DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.

WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.

NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Cybersecurity information 1
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that support
the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For additional information on industrial cybersecurity measures that may be implemented,
please visit
https://www.siemens.com/cybersecurity-industry.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure
to cyber threats.

6.3.1 Diagnostics, Missing supply voltage L+

Definition
Enabling of the diagnostics for missing or insufficient supply voltage L+.

6.3.2 Diagnostics, Short-circuit to ground

Definition
When the digital output is enabled, you can enable diagnostics that report a digital output short
circuit to ground.
A short circuit to ground is only detected when the output is switched on (output value = 1).

Note
Short-circuit signal
If the output is disabled with pending short circuit (output value = 0), the "Short-circuit to
ground" diagnosis is reset.

6.3.3 Channel activated

Definition
Specifies whether a channel is enabled or disabled.

6.3.4 Reaction to CPU STOP

Definition
Specifies the behavior of the digital output as a reaction to CPU stop or to failure of
communication between the interface module and CPU.

6.3.5 Substitute value

Definition
The substitute value is output by the module at CPU STOP if you set the "Reaction to CPU STOP"
parameter to "Substitute value".

Description
The entered substitute value is output by the I/O module in the following cases:
• When there is no connection to the CPU (for example, PROFInet cable unplugged)
• With CPU STOP

6.3.6 Potential group

Definition
A potential group consists of a group of directly adjacent I/O modules within an ET 200SP HA
station that are supplied via a common supply voltage.

Description
A potential group is built up from left to right by using terminal blocks.
A new potential group starts on the left side with a light gray terminal block, via which the
supply voltage for the potential group is fed in.
The potential group is continued to the right with dark gray terminal blocks and ends when a
new potential group is built up next to it.
The potential group also ends if there is a black terminal block next to it. Black terminal
blocks are fed individually and cannot be included in potential groups.
You can find more information on the configuration of the potential group in the System
Manual SIMATIC; Distributed I/O System; ET 200SP HA.

Response to short-circuit detection

The I/O module is equipped with an overload protection feature that triggers as of about 3 A.
When this limit is exceeded, the I/O module automatically limits the current (typically: 3.4 A). If
the overload continues, it results in a temperature increase in the I/O module. The respective
output switches on and off again cyclically (clocked). With an overload of 3 A or more, the
terminal voltage collapses. If a terminal voltage falls below a value of 10..15 V, the short-circuit
diagnosis in the module responds. A low terminal voltage can also be recognized by the reduced
brightness of the status LED. When the overload is removed, the terminal voltage rises again and
the short-circuit diagnosis disappears.

Note
Cable length
Ensure sufficient low-resistance cable routing to the sensor/actuators to reach the response
threshold. A low cable cross-section and/or a long supply line leads to voltage drops in the line.
Depending on the cable cross-section used, there may be restrictions in the cable lengths that
can be used.

A.1 Parameter assignment

Parameter assignment in the user program

You can reconfigure individual channels of the module in RUN without affecting the other
channels.

Changing parameters in RUN

The parameters are transferred to the module with the "WRREC" instruction via data record 128.

Output parameter STATUS of the WRREC

If errors occur during parameter transfer with the "WRREC" instruction, the module continues to
work with the previous parameterization. The STATUS output parameter contains a
corresponding error code.
The STATUS output parameter is 4 bytes long and configured as followed:
• Byte1: Function_Num, general error code
• Byte2: Error_Decode, location of the error code
• Byte3: Error_Code_1, error code
• Byte4: Error_Code_2, manufacturer-specific extension of the error code
Module-specific errors are displayed via Error_Decode = 0x80 and Error_Code_1/
Error_Code_2.

Channel parameters
Each channel parameter block contains the channel parameters for a digital output (2 bytes).
The following figure shows the configuration of the channel parameters for channels 0 to 7.
x = 12 + (channel number * 2); with channel number = 0…7
All unused bits and the bits or bytes marked as "reserved" must be set to "0".
You can activate a channel parameter by setting the corresponding bit to "1" or the
corresponding value.

A.3 Diagnostic messages

Diagnostic messages
A diagnostic message is generated for each diagnostic event and the DIAG LED on the I/O module
flashes red or the MT LED lights up yellow.
The diagnostic messages can be read in the diagnostic buffer of the CPU.
Diagnostic messages are assigned either channel-specific to an output or assigned as module
messages to all outputs. All channels are switched off for diagnostic messages that affect

Evaluate value status

There is a bit value status for each digital output in the input address space.
Irrespective of the diagnostics enables, each value status provides information on the validity
of the corresponding process value.
• Value status = 1: Process value okay, "good"
• Value status = 0: Process value not okay, "bad"
Basically, the value status is set to "good" if the digital value can be output without error. The
value status is set to "bad" in the following cases:
• The digital value cannot be output due to an error.
• The digital channel is disabled.
