F-DI features 
●  Failsafe configuration with two digital inputs per F-DI 
●  Input filter for test signals with an adjustable gating time (p10017/p10117) 
●  Configurable connection of NC/NC or NC/NO contacts by means of parameter 
p10040/p10140 
●  Status parameter r0722, r10051/r10151 
●  Adjustable time window for monitoring discrepancy at both digital inputs by means of 
parameter p10002/p10102 for all F-DIs 
Note 
To avoid incorrect triggering of fault messages, on these inputs the discrepancy time 
must always be set less than the shortest time between two switching events (ON/OFF, 
OFF/ON). 
●  2. Digital input with additional tap of the optocoupler cathode for connecting an M-
switching output of a failsafe controller. 
WARNING 
In contrast to mechanical switching contacts (e.g. Emergency Stop switches), leakage 
currents can still flow in semiconductor switches such as those usually used at digital 
outputs even when they have been switched off. This can lead to false switching states 
if digital inputs are not connected correctly. 
The conditions for digital inputs/outputs specified in the relevant manufacturer 
documentation must be observed. 
WARNING 
In accordance with IEC 61131 Part 2, Chapter 5.2 (2008), only outputs that have a 
maximum residual current of 0.5 mA when "OFF" can be used to connect CU305 digital 
inputs with digital semiconductor outputs. 
The inclusion of additional load resistors makes it possible to use digital outputs with 
larger residual currents to connect CU305 inputs.
