Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
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.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

Purpose of the documentation

This device manual complements the system manual ET 200SP distributed I/O system
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/58649293). Functions that generally
relate to the system are described in this manual.
The information provided in this manual and in the system/function manuals supports you in
commissioning the system.

Conventions
Please also observe notes marked as follows:

Note
A note contains important information on the product described in the documentation, on the
handling of the product and on the section of the documentation to which particular attention
should be paid.

Note on IT security
Siemens offers IT security mechanisms for its automation and drive product portfolio in order
to support the safe operation of the plant/machine. We recommend that you inform yourself
regularly on the IT security developments regarding your products. You can find information
on this on the Internet (http://support.automation.siemens.com).
You can register for a product-specific newsletter here.
For the safe operation of a plant/machine, however, it is also necessary to integrate the
automation components into an overall IT security concept for the entire plant/machine,
which corresponds to the state-of-the-art IT technology. You can find information on this on
the Internet (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Products used from other manufacturers should also be taken into account here.

A.1 Parameter assignment and structure of parameter data record

Parameter assignment in the user program

The module can be reconfigured in RUN (for example, the voltage or current values of
selected channels can be edited in RUN without having an effect on the other channels).

Changing parameters in RUN

The WRREC instruction is used to transfer the parameters to the module using data record
128. The parameters set in STEP 7 are not changed in the CPU, which means that the
parameters set in STEP 7 will be valid again after a restart.

Output parameter STATUS

The module ignores errors that occur during the transfer of parameters with the WRREC
instruction and continues operation with the previous parameter assignment. However, the
STATUS output parameter contains a corresponding error code.
The description of the WRREC instruction and the error codes is available in the STEP 7
online help.
