During operation, four LEDs and the display provide detailed diagnostic information which, if
necessary, can be used to localize faults immediately. A user program allows diagnostic data
records to be read and made available to a higher-level operator control and monitoring
system (for example WinCC).
Configuration
The DP/AS-i F Link can be configured with STEP 7 as of version V5.4 SP1. All AS-Interface
slaves from Siemens can be configured conveniently in HW Config (slave selection catalog)
and safety parameter settings made.
It is also possible to upload the AS-Interface configuration to STEP 7 and to adopt the actual
configuration directly on the device (commissioning aid).
Alternatively, the DP/AS-i F Link can be integrated in the engineering tool using the
PROFIBUS GSD file.
Unlike the AS-Interface safety monitor, DP/AS-i F-Link is simply a gateway with no separate
safety logic. The safety function is programmed at the level of the higher-level failsafe
controller, for example:
● With Distributed Safety as of version V5.4 SP1 for SIMATIC S7-300F/416F
● With SAFETY INTEGRATED "SI-Basic" or "SI-COMFORT" NCU software for
SINUMERIK 840D pl/sl.
Note
To configure with STEP 7 / HW Config, the F Link object manager must be installed.
You can download the object manager from the Internet
