Product Information
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security 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 security 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 security measures that can be implemented, please visit
(https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
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 customers'
exposure to cyber threats.

Introduction
Note the following dependencies for PROFINET IO during configuration of ET 200eco PN fail-safe modules with a GSDML
file.
Note
When using ET 200eco PN fail-safe modules with a GSD file on external masters, note that the warnings, information, and
references contained in the F-module device manuals are still valid for other manuals.
Please also observe the external master specifications.
Requirement
You require S7-FCT to calculate the F_iParCRC and addressing for the F-I/O according to PROFIsafe address type 2.
Note
If the identification during the assignment of the PROFIsafe address does not succeed (for example, the F module flashes
continuously),you can take the following corrective measures:
Pull/plug the F module.
•
Repeat the assignment of the PROFIsafe address after approx. 2 minutes.
•
Increase the PROFINET update time of F host and IM for the duration of the F address assignment.
•
S7-FCT allows you to configure selected F-I/Os from SIEMENS in an engineering system from another manufacturer.
You can find S7-FCT on the Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109762827).
