4.12.1 Assigning Parameters to the SM 421; DI 16 24/60 VUC
Parameter Assignment
You will find a description of the general procedure for assigning parameters to
digital modules in Section 4.3.

Parameters of the SM 421; DI 16 24/60 VUC

The following table contains an overview of the parameters you can set and their
default settings for the SM 421; DI 16 24/60 VUC.

1) If you use the module in ER-1/ER-2, you must set this parameter to “No” because the interrupt lines are
not available in ER-1/ER-2.
2) Only in the CC (central controller) is it possible to start up the digital modules with the default settings.
3) If you assign 0.5 ms , then you should not parameterize a diagnosis because the internal processing time
for diagnostic functions can be > 0.5 ms.
Ensuring a Wire Break Check Is Carried Out
To ensure that a wire break check is carried out, you require an external sensor
circuit using a resistor of 18 to 56 k The resistor should be connected parallel to
the contact and should be arranged as closely as possible to the sensor.
This additional resistor is not required in the following cases:
•If two-wire BEROs are used
•If you don’t parameterize the “Wire Break” diagnosis
