1.1 Functionality of the functional example
Task
It is intended to monitor several analog signals in a plant on a safety-related basis.
Depending on the importance and risk of failure, there are several options for
wiring and evaluating signals. This means that you can carry out evaluation in
the analog input module and/or the user program, for example.

Note In all the functional examples, we use fail-safe analog input module SM 336; F-AI
6 x 0/4 … 20 mA HART with order number 6ES7 336-4GE00-0AB0. This will be
referred to from now on as F-AI.
Using inputs
You can use the inputs as follows:
Each of the six channels for current measurement
– 0 to 20 mA (without HART utilization)
– 4 to 20 mA (with/without HART utilization)
– Functional range of HART communication: 1.17 to typically 35 mA

Recommendation
You are strongly advised to use the shortcircuit-proof internal sensor supply of
the module. This internal sensor supply is monitored and its status is indicated
by the Fx LED (see Figure Front view of SM 336; F-AI 6 x 0/4 ... 20 mA HART).
Note The I/O module in this architecture is certified for Safety Integrity Level SIL3.
However, to be SIL-compliant, the entire safety instrumented function – including
the field devices – must be evaluated according to IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
In the 1oo1 basic architecture, a sensor is wired to one of the F-AI channels in
Figure 2-1 to channel 0).

In the object properties of the inserted F-AI, you set the necessary parameters for
operating the F-AI (see Figure 2-8).
The parameters are grouped in Table 2-2.
Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the hardware parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
After you have configured the hardware, you can use the SIMATIC Safety Matrix
Engineering Tool (for more information on this topic, see the chapter entitled
“References” under \5\).
Figure 2-9 shows how to configure a cause to monitor an input TAG in the Safety
Matrix. Use the following settings:
Type analog input
1 input
Function type: Normal (1oo1 evaluation)
Enter the signal name at Tag1 (e.g. F_TAG1001_X) or use the “I/O”
pushbutton to choose the symbol from the symbol table.
As Figure 2-10 shows, there are additional analog parameters that you must
configure for the cause:
Necessary parameters:
– Limit value type: MAX or MIN
– Limit value
Optional parameters:
– Prealarm
– Hysteresis
– Units of measurement:
If the input TAG is fallen short of or exceeded, the cause is activated and triggers
the corresponding effect(s).
One of the configuration options that is highlighted in Figure 2-11 is switch off in
the case of a channel error. If this option is activated, a channel error has the
effect of a limit value violation and – in the case of a 1oo1 (function type: Normal) –
triggers the corresponding effect(s).
As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can also implement the CPU
logic for reading the input signal using the STEP 7 CFC Editor.
There are two options for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (1oo1)
With evaluation of the channel error (1oo1D)
Note In the configuration that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the
last valid value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether
this value is above or below the limit value.
Figure 2-13 shows a sample logic that was created in the CFC Editor for reading
an individual input signal that takes into account a channel error. Please note that
this example assumes a MAX limit value and that the evaluation logic output for
reaching
the safe state is switched off (normal state = 1, safe state = 0).
Note The I/O modules of this architecture are certified to achieve Safety Integrity Level
SIL3. However, to be SIL-compliant, the entire safety instrumented function –
including the field devices –
must be evaluated according to IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.

Short-circuiting is controlled between the sensor supply voltage Vsn and Mn+
Due to read back of the sensor voltage in the F-AI, undervoltage detection on
the transmitter is possible.
It is necessary to include the external elements considering application-specific
safety issues, i.e.: you must include the external elements that are needed to
implement redundancy (e.g. Zener diodes) in your safety considerations).

In the HW Config, you must configure the two F-AIs as a redundant pair. You can
access the F-AI redundancy settings via the object properties of one of the F-AIs.
In the case of the hardware set-up example shown in Figure 3-7 the redundancy
setting is made on the F-AI that is located in the ET 200M rack
with PROFIBUS address 3. Figure 3-8 shows the interface for the redundancy
settings with Table 3-2 grouping the settings.
Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the hardware parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
When you have made the redundancy settings, you can set the other hardware
parameters in one of the redundant F-AIs. The system automatically applies
the settings on the redundant assembly.
After you have added the sensor to the hardware configuration, you can implement
the evaluation logic for the signal in the CPU. One of the methods for doing this
is to use the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Engineering Tool (for more information on
this topic, see the chapter entitled “References” under \5\).
The actual evaluation logic for monitoring an individual sensor using redundant
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
F-AIs is the same as is described in section 2.4.1 (Configuring using Safety Matrix).
As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can also implement the CPU
logic for reading the input signal using the STEP 7 CFC Editor.
There are two options for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (1oo1)
With evaluation of the channel error (1oo1D)
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value
is above or below the limit value.
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
Note The I/O module in this architecture is certified for Safety Integrity Level SIL3.
However, to be SIL-compliant, the entire safety instrumented function – including
the field devices – must be evaluated according to IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
In the 1oo2 architecture with evaluation in the F-AI, two sensors are wired to one
F-AI. Figure 4-1 shows a block diagram.
If 1oo2 evaluation is activated for a channel pair (0/3, 1/4, 2/5), the F-AIs carry out
discrepancy analysis of the two input signals. Depending on the parameterization,
one of the process values (MIN / MAX) is transferred to the CPU.
The system uses the address of the channel with the lower number. In Figure 4-1
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
the first sensor is wired to channel 0 of the F-AIs. The second sensor must then be
wired to channel 3.

Module parameters
Diagnostic interrupt Various error events trigger a diagnostic Enable/disable
interrupt, which the module can detect.
These events are then reported to the CPU.
Comment:
If the diagnostic interrupt is enabled at the
module level, then individual diagnostics
events must be activated at the channel
level.
Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the hardware parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
As Figure 4-10 shows, there are additional analog parameters that you must
configure for the cause:
Necessary parameters:
– Limit value type: MAX or MIN

Optional parameters:
– Prealarm

As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can implement the CPU logic
for reading the input signal using the STEP 7 CFC Editor. After both the sensor
signals have been added to the hardware configuration and the F-AI has carried
out 1oo2 evaluation, you can generate the evaluation logic in the CFC Editor.
There are two options for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (1oo1)
With evaluation of the channel error (1oo1D)
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value is
above or below the limit value.
Note The I/O modules of this architecture are certified to achieve Safety Integrity
Level SIL3. However, to be SIL-compliant, the entire safety instrumented
function – including the field devices – must be evaluated according to
IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
In the redundant 1oo2 architecture, two sensors are wired to a redundant pair of
F-AIs. Figure 5-1 shows a block diagram.
In the figure, the first sensor is wired to channel 0 with the second one being wired
to channel 3 of both modules. The modules are configured as redundant in the
HW Config. Each F-AI carries out 1oo2 1oo2 evaluation of both sensors. Only

Note that this architecture additionally needs two Zener diodes for each sensor.
The first Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and the second one has
a breakdown voltage of 5.6 V. Apart from this, two diodes each are used to
decouple the power supply. The diodes and Zener diodes are needed for cases
in which an F-AI is out of service (e.g. in the case of a module failure, routine
maintenance, etc.)

In the HW Config, you must configure the two F-AIs as a redundant pair. You can
access the F-AI redundancy settings via the object properties of one of the F-AIs
in each case.
In the example of the hardware set-up shown in Figure 5-4 the redundancy
setting is made using the F-AI that is in the ET 200M with PROFIBUS address 3.
Figure 5-5 shows the interface for the redundancy settings with Table 5-2 grouping
the settings.

Comment:
For redundancy, you must set the

partner module.
Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the names of the parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
After making the redundancy settings, you can set the rest of the hardware
parameters for the redundant F-AI as described at the end of Section 4.3
The settings are applied automatically on the redundant partner.
As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can implement the CPU logic
for reading the input signal using the STEP 7 CFC Editor. After the F-AI has carried
out 1oo2 evaluation, you can generate the evaluation logic in the CFC Editor.
There are two options for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (1oo1)
With evaluation of the channel error (1oo1D)
Logic without evaluation of the channel error (1oo2 on the F-AI)Figure 5-6 shows a
sample logic for reading an individual input signal that in the CFC Editor that does
not take into account a channel error. Please note that this example assumes a
MAX limit value and that the evaluation logic output for reaching the safe state is
switched off (normal state = 1, safe state = 0).
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value
is above or below the limit value.

Option 2:
As shown in Figure 6-2 both sensors are wired to two F-AIs. In this figure, one

6.3 Wiring
6.3.1 Conventional wiring
In the 1oo2 evaluation scheme, the F-AI or an external power supply can supply
power to the sensors.
The illustrations below show the wiring for 2-wire and 4-wire transmitters that
supplied via the F-AI or an external power supply.
In the illustrations below, the transmitters are wired to two channels of one F-AI.
The first sensor is wired to channel 0 (terminals 3, 4, 5 – bridge to 1M) with the
second one being wired to channel 3 (terminals 12, 13, 14 – bridge to 1M).
Power is supplied to the F-AI via 1L+/1M (terminals 1 and 2); depending on the
channel, the power of the sensors is supplied via Vs0... Vs5 (terminals 3, 6, 9, 12, 15,
18) or by an external power supply.

After the sensor signals for hardware configuration have been added, you can
implement the 1oo2 evaluation logic in the user program. One of the options
for doing this is to use the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Engineering Tool (for more
information on this topic, see the chapter entitled “References” under \5\).
Figure 6-11 shows how to configure a cause for 1oo2 evaluation in the matrix. Use
the following settings:
Type analog input
2 inputs
Function type: OR (1oo2)
You must enter Tag1 and Tag2 and they should match the symbolic I/O name
of the encoder (e.g. F_TAG1001_X and F_TAG1002_X). You can make the
input by selecting the signal from the symbol table. To do this, use the “I/O”
key.
The cause is configured with function type OR (1oo2). If at least one encoder
matches for triggering, the cause is activated and triggers the corresponding
effect(s).
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
Figure 6-11: 1oo2 evaluation in the user program (Safety Matrix – configuration)
As Figure 6-12 shows, there are additional analog parameters that you must
configure for the cause:
Necessary parameters:
– Limit value type: MAX or MIN
– Limit value
Optional parameters:
– Prealarm
– Hysteresis
– Delta

As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can implement the 1oo2
evaluation logic for the input signals using the STEP 7 CFC Editor. After the sensor
signals for hardware configuration have been added, you can generate the 1oo2
evaluation logic using the CFC Editor.
There are two options for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (1oo2)
With evaluation of the channel error (1oo2D)
Note that by using the corresponding logic blocks, you can also implement 2oo2
evaluation in the user program.
Figure 6-14 shows a sample logic that was created in the CFC Editor for 1oo2
evaluation that does not take into account the channel errors.
Please note that this example assumes a MAX limit value and that the evaluation
logic output for reaching the safe state is switched off (normal state = 1, safe
state = 0).
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value is
above or below the limit value.
Figure 6-15 shows a sample logic that was created in the CFC Editor for 1oo2D

Please note that this example assumes a MAX limit value and that the evaluation
logic output for reaching the safe state is switched off (normal state = 1, safe state
= 0).
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
If the process value of one or both analog sensors exceeds the limit value
(in this case, a process value greater than or equal to 90) and the sensor does
not report a channel error, the output of the evaluation logic is 0 (i.e. trigger
command).
If at least one of the two analog sensors reports a channel error, the output of
the evaluation logic is 0 (i.e. trigger command).
The output of the logic should be linked to the corresponding shutdown logic.
– Use the negated output of the limit value block (QHN or QLM) of the
second F channel driver.
– Use an OR block to link outputs QBAD of both F channel drivers and use
the output signal (OUTN) of the OR block.
Note The I/O modules of this architecture are certified to achieve Safety Integrity Level
SIL3. However, to be SIL-compliant, the entire safety instrumented function –
including the field devices – must be evaluated according to IEC 61508 / IEC
61511.
In the redundant 2(1oo2) architecture, two sensors are wired to a redundant pair of
F-AIs. Figure 7-1 shows a block diagram.
In the Figure, the first sensor is wired to channel 0 of both F-AIs. The second
sensor is wired to channel 1 of both F-AIs. The F-AIs are configured as redundant
modules in the HW Config. Only one analog input channel driver block is needed

Note that this architecture additionally needs two Zener diodes for each sensor.
The first Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and the second one
has a breakdown voltage of 5.6 V. Apart from this, two diodes each are used to
decouple the power supply. The diodes and Zener diodes are needed for cases
in which one of the F-AIs is out of service (e.g. in the case of a module failure,
routine maintenance, etc.)

You can see an example of a hardware set-up using three F-AIs in Figure 8-6
In this example, the ET 200M (IM153-2) contains one F-AI in slots 4, 5 and 6.
One of the three sensor signals is wired to the first channel of an F-AI. You can find
more information about the HW configuration in the chapter entitled “References”
under \4\.
In the object properties of the inserted F-AI, you set the necessary parameters for
operating the F-AI (see Figure 8-7).
The parameters themselves are grouped in Table 8-1
Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the hardware parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
After the three sensor signals for hardware configuration have been added, you
can implement the 2oo3 evaluation logic in the user program. One of the options
for doing this is to use the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Engineering Tool (for more
information on this topic, see the chapter entitled “References” under \5\).
Figure 8-8 shows how to configure a cause for 2oo3 monitoring in the matrix.
Use the following settings:
Type analog input
3 inputs
Function type: Majority evaluation (2oo3 evaluation)
You must enter Tag1, Tag2, and Tag2 and they should match the symbolic I/O
name of the encoder (e.g. F_TAG1001_X, F_TAG1002_X, and F_TAG
1003_X). You can make the input by selecting the signal from the symbol
table. To do this, use the “I/O” key.
The cause is configured with a majority evaluation (2oo3 evaluation). If at least
two of the three encoders match for triggering, the cause is activated and triggers
the corresponding effect(s). Note that you can also configure different evaluation
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
As Figure 8-9 shows, there are additional analog parameters that you must set for
the cause:
Necessary parameters:
– Limit value type: MAX or MIN
– Limit value
Optional parameters:
– Prealarm
– Hysteresis
– Delta
– Unit of measurement
The system reports exceeding of the delta value. It is not evaluated as a shutdown
criterion.
As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can implement the 2oo3
evaluation logic for the CPU using the STEP 7 CFC Editor. After the three sensor
signals for hardware configuration have been added, you can generate the 2oo3

Figure 8-11 shows a sample logic for 2oo3 evaluation in the CFC Editor that does
not take into account channel errors. Please note that this example assumes
a MAX limit value and that the evaluation logic output for reaching the safe state
is switched off (normal state = 1, safe state = 0).
The logic corresponds to the Safety Matrix configuration in which the “Trip on

since the three signals are evaluated in the user program. However, to be SIL-
compliant, the entire safety instrumented function – including the field devices –
must be evaluated according to IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.

Figure 9-1 shows a block diagram with redundant F-AIs. This optional 2oo3
architecture uses three sensors and two F-AIs. In the Figure, the three sensors
are wired to channels 0, 1, and 2 of both F-AIs.

9.2 Wiring
9.2.1 Conventional wiring
A simplified example of the 2(2oo3) evaluation scheme with evaluation in the user
program and redundant F-AI is shown in Figure 9-2 The first sensor is wired to
channel 0 (terminals 3, 4, 5) of both F-AIs, the second one is wired to channel 1
(terminals 6, 7, 8) and the third one wired to channel 2 (terminals 9, 10, 11) of both
F-AIs. Note that this architecture additionally needs two Zener diodes for each
sensor. The first Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and the second
one has a breakdown voltage of 5.6 V. Apart from this, two diodes each are used
to decouple the power supply. The diodes and Zener diodes are needed for cases
in which one of the F-AIs is out of service (e.g. in the case of a module failure).

In the HW Config, you must configure the two F-AIs as a redundant pair. You can
access the F-AI redundancy settings via the object properties of one of the F-AIs
in each case.
In the example of the hardware set-up shown in Figure 9-4 the redundancy setting
is made using the F-AI of the ET 200M with PROFIBUS address 3. The settings
are grouped in Table 9-2

Note Depending on the versions of the module and the hardware configuration pack,
the names of the parameters and the configuration window may differ from the
information in this section. You can find further information in the documentation
of the module.
When you have made the redundancy settings, you can set the other hardware
parameters in one of the redundant F-AIs. The system automatically applies the
settings on the redundant assembly.
You will find a description of the hardware parameters at the end of section 0.
After the three sensor signals for hardware configuration have been added, you
can implement the 2oo3 evaluation logic in the user program. One of the options
for doing this is to use the SIMATIC Safety Matrix Engineering Tool (for more
information on this topic, see the chapter entitled “References” under \5\).
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
The actual evaluation logic for the 2(2oo3) evaluation scheme with evaluation in
the user program and redundant F-AIs is the same as described in Section 8.4.1
(Configuring using Safety Matrix).
As an alternative to using the Safety Matrix Tool, you can implement the 2oo3
evaluation logic for the CPU using the STEP 7 CFC Editor. There are two options
for implementing the CFC logic:
Without evaluation of the channel error (2oo3)
With evaluation of the channel error (2oo3D)
The logic for both options corresponds to the solutions that are described in
Chapter 8.4.2.
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value
is above or below the limit value.
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
Figure 9-5 shows a sample logic for 2oo3 evaluation in the CFC Editor that does
not take into account channel errors. Please note that this example assumes
a MAX limit value and that the evaluation logic output for reaching the safe state
is switched off (normal state = 1, safe state = 0).
The logic corresponds to the Safety Matrix configuration in which the “Trip on
bad quality” function is not activated. The input signals are not monitored for
a maximum delta.
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value
is above or below the limit value.
Note In the logic that is shown (SUBS_ON = 0 on the F channel driver), the last valid
value is used if there is an error. It is not possible to predict whether this value
is above or below the limit value.
Figure 9-6 shows a sample logic for 2oo3D evaluation in the CFC Editor that takes
into account channel errors. Please note that this example assumes a MAX limit
value and that the evaluation logic output for reaching the safe state is switched off
(normal state = 1, safe state = 0).
If one sensor reports a channel error and two sensors do not, the system only
uses the values of the sensors without a channel error for the evaluation logic.
The output of the logic should be linked to the corresponding shutdown logic.
The necessary steps to generate the logic are described below:
Generate an F_CH_AI F channel driver for the first analog sensor and link
the corresponding I/O signal to the block. Use a limit value block (F_LIM_HL
or F_LIM_LL) to compare the signal to the triggering limit value.
Generate an F_CH_AI F channel driver for the second analog sensor and link
the corresponding I/O signal to the block. Use a limit value block (F_LIM_HL
or F_LIM_LL) to compare the signal to the triggering limit value.
Generate an F_CH_AI F channel driver for the third analog sensor and link
the corresponding I/O signal to the block. Use a limit value block (F_LIM_HL
or F_LIM_LL) to compare the signal to the triggering limit value.
Implement the evaluation logic by interconnecting the inputs of an F_2OUT3
block with the outputs of the following AND logic operations:
– The negated output QBAD (F_NOT) of the first channel driver with
the negated value of the first limit value block output (QHN or QLN).
– The negated output QBAD (F_NOT) of the second channel driver with
the negated value of the second limit value block output (QHN or QLN).
– The negated output QBAD (F_NOT) of the third channel driver with
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
the negated value of the third limit value block output (QHN or QLN).

The power input should be routed onto a power input unit that is installed as part of
the cabinet system. Note that each power input should have an independent power
input unit. The power input unit should have a row of terminals with overcurrent
protection. To increase system availability, you should use a circuit breaker for
overcurrent protection. It is possible to use a second power input to increase
system availability (this requires a second power input unit in the cabinet).
The power input unit should have a connection for each cable of the power input:
Cable
neutral/return conductor and
ground
Siemens AG 2016 All rights reserved
The ground connection for power input should be marked or color-coded such that
it is possible to recognize it as the protective earth. This ground connection must
be connected to the housing on a low-resistance basis. The grounding terminal
should be mechanical to ensure ground protection.
The power input should have individual distributor terminals to connect the loads in
the cabinet. The distributor terminals should be laid out in groups with one ground
terminal each for ground connections. Additional ground connections are needed
to ground the racks that are used for mounting system components.
11.2 Grounding
11.2.1 Objectives
path from any point in a system with a ground connection that leads from this point
to the grounding point.
The linear grounding method is limited if distributed process control systems
are used. A distributed system is one in which the locations of components are
distributed around a plant. With this type of architecture, you can use the linear
grounding method efficiently on system components that are referred to as
subsystems (subsystem functions) (or isolated islands). A subsystem can be
defined as follows:
Electrical isolation from other subsystems
Physical isolation from other subsystems (subsystem functions) such that
electrical disturbances are dissipated locally
In systems with subsystems, each section uses a local, linear grounding bar to
reduce lightning and electronic noise.
11.2.2 Implementation
Grounding
The design of the cabinet should make possible energy supply that is isolated from
other access openings. The current should be connected to a single distributor unit
inside the cabinet. As part of the power input unit, there should be a connection
point for cabinet grounding. This connection should include the necessary cables
for correct operation of the protection devices and for personal protection.
The ground connection of the cabinet should be marked or color-coded. If you use
several current sources (e.g. for redundancy), you should use independent power
input units and each current source should have its own cabinet ground
connection.
Shielding connections
You should use shielding connections for field wiring as standard for I/O modules.
The physical connections of the shielding should be present on the cable
connections for the field signal in the form of a shielding bus. The shielding bus
should be isolated from the mounting plates and the mounting rails. Shielding
buses must have a ground connection. The ground connection connects the
shielding bus to the local grounding point (LEPG).
For final shield installation, the LEPG bus must be connected to a grounding
potential. The preferred ground connection is to a grounding system that is also
used to ground the neutral conductor of the power supply system. Most industrial
systems support a central grounding point to connect grounding systems that are
dissipated “locally”. You should connect to the ground potential as follows:

DC grounding
Normally, the power supply is installed in the cabinets to provide the 24 V DC
operating voltage. The power supply is not connected to ground or to the power
input. Depending on the user’s requirements, the system is operated either on
a floating basis or connected to a user-specified reference point.
System setup
S7-400 F/FH systems (including the controls and I/O modules) can be operated
either grounded or on a floating basis. To make possible both operating modes,
the system setup has a bridge that makes a connection from the reference
potential to ground. If the bridge is removed, the reference potential is separated
from the housing ground.
Depending on the product, the bridge is either part of the hardware module
(see Figure 11-1) or of the system backplane (see Figure 11-2).
