Intended use
The input module CPX-F8DE-P is intended for use to reliably

acquire and evaluate signals of connected sensors.
The input module provides up to eight secure inputs that can

be used by a primary safety control unit in a safety function.
Communication with that primary safety control unit is per
formed by the secure protocol PROFIsafe via a PROFIBUS or
PROFINETIO field bus connection.
The inputs on the input module can be combined for multi-

channel sensor applications. In each case, 2 inputs form a
channel pair that can be set separately with one of 11 func
tion modes. These function modes have an influence on the
evaluation of input signals, and optionally on the generation
of clock signals.
The characteristics of the inputs comply with standard

IEC611312 for Type 2 digital inputs.
The input module CPX-F8DE-P is a product with safety-related

functions. The input module is intended for installation in
machines or automated systems and may be used only as

Achievable safety classification
With the CPX-F8DE-P, safety functions can be implemented

up to:
– Performance Level e, Cat. 4 in accordance with

ENISO13849-1
– Safety integrity level SIL 3 in accordance with EN61508
– Performance limit SIL CL3 in accordance with EN 62061.
The attainable safety level of the entire safety system de

pends on the function mode setting of other components
used to implement the safety function.
Make sure that the overall safety function of the system is

analysed and validated.
It is the responsibility of the operator to determine and
verify the required safety rating (safety integrity level,
performance level and category) of the system.
Note the residual risks in your system that remain despite

measures taken to integrate safety during design and
building, despite safety precautions and despite supple
mentary protective measures.
These residual risks are also influenced by your safety
specifications and the safety characteristics of your
system.
Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English XI

Note about retention of a safety classification

Test the operational capability of the safety equipment
at adequate intervals.

At least once per year for PLd
At least once per month for PLe
Selecting the type and time intervals of these tests is the
responsibility of the operator.
Conduct the tests in such a way that flawless functioning
of the safety device can be verified and documented in
interaction with all components.
Ensure that, after every safety request, self-diagnosis

initiates troubleshooting and a reboot of the system
under the supervision of the personnel responsible.
XII Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English

Product specific terms and abbreviations
Term/abbreviation Significance
Acknowledgment Signal or procedure for depassivation. An acknowledgment from the user

confirms that the input module can be brought back on line without
danger, and/or that the input channel can be depassivized without any
attendant risk.
Once the complete input module has been passivized (èModule-based
passivation), acknowledgment involves regular èReintegration (standard
PROFIsafe process).
If an input channel has been passivized (è Channel-based passivation),
acknowledgment involves the use of an acknowledgment signal on the
process image èChapter 1.2.3.
Black channel The “black channel” is the name given to a transmission route without
technical safety properties across which secure communication can be
effected through the additional of failsafe mechanisms. For example, the
field bus and the bus node (PROFIBUS or PROFINETIO) is part of the black
channel across which PROFIsafecommunication is processed.
Category Category (Cat.) is a measure of the resistance of a safety-aligned system to

faults and of its subsequent behaviour after a fault, achieved through the
structure of its component arrangement, fault detection and its reliability
level èENISO13849-1.
Channel-wise Type of passivation whereby only the channel pair of the affected defective
passivation input channel is passivized. The input module remains incorporated.
To depassivize, an Acknowledge signal is required via the process image
èChapter 1.2.4.
CRC signature Test value in security telegram from PROFIsafe to check integrity of
telegram data (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
Cross circuit Unintended electrical connection between signals. Cross circuits falsify the
signal and cause failure of the safety function.
Cross-circuit Function that detects possible cross-circuiting in the circuits connected to

monitoring the device and that adopts a safe mode for the device and/or for the input
channel affected. This can involve èCycle monitoring and/or discrepancy
monitoring.
Cycle monitoring In the function modes with cycle monitoring, the inputs are used to detect
if the actual cycle, an external cycle or the sensor power supply is present.
The information is not released in the PROFIsafe input image until the
anticipated cycle has been detected.
XXIV Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English

Cycle output Output with a specific clock signal that is directed by a sensor and that is
detected by a related input. This clock signal distinguishes itself from other
cycles similar to functions and enables the diagnosis of cross-circuiting on
switched signals.
Depassivation In the operating mode “Passivation by channel”, depassivation involves

setting the Acknowledge bit in the output data èChapter 1.3.2.
In the operating mode “Passivation by module”, depassivation involves
èReintegration.
Duct èInput channel
F-Device Collective designation for safety-related devices èSafety control unit.
F-Host Safety control unit for control of safety-related devices.
Forced dynamisation Functional testing procedure to determine the switching capability of sig
nals. With outputs, this procedure is often used in the form of test pulses,
and for clocked inputs. Generally speaking, many safety-related signals can
be found to have forced dynamic responses in order to detect short circuits
and cross-circuiting.
F-System Safety-related system that moves to a safe status when dangerous system
and device errors occur.
GSDML/GSD Device description file
Input channel Input circuits in acc. with IEC611312 for Type2 digital inputs to record
signals from connected sensors.

Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English XXV

Module-based Type of passivation in which all channel pairs on the input module are
passivation passivized, e.g.:
– with errors in the safety-oriented communication (PROFIsafe)
– with self-test errors
– With channel faults where the “Channel-based passivation” is switched
off.
With “Module-based passivation”, regular re-incorporation is required
(standard process of PROFIsafe for acknowledgment).
– The input module sets the “Device_Fault” signal.
– As soon as the cause of the fault has been remedied, the input module
retracts the “Device_Fault” signal itself. With faults that cannot be
remedied during runtime, “Device_Fault” remains set until the next time
the system is powered down.
– To ensure that substitute values (0) continue to be transmitted once the
cause of the fault has been remedied, the safety control unit can
transmit “Activate_FV” to the input module. The input module replies to
this with “FV_Activated” until the safety control unit displays, with the
“Activate_FV” signal, that safe operation with process values is possible
once again.
NC English abbreviation for normally-closed switch èSensor
NO English abbreviation for normally-open switch èSensor
OSSD Output Signal Switching Device.

Sensor with autonomous line monitoring.
Output image èProcess image at output of safety control unit
Passivation Safety function in which the input module CPX-F8DE-P adopts a safe
status, depending on which fault occurs for all input channels
(èModule-based passivation) or only for defective input channels
(èChannel-based passivation). Instead of process values in such cases
èSubstitute values (0) are transmitted instead.
Performance Level Discrete characteristics level that specifies the ability of safety-related
(PL...) parts of a safety control unit to perform a safety function under defined
conditions. In ENISO13849-1 5levels are defined. PLa is the lowest level
and PLe is the highest level.
Process error The combination of monitored sensor signals is invalid.
XXVI Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English

Process image The process image is part of a controller’s system memory. At the start of
the cyclical program, the signal states of the input assemblies are
transferred to the process diagram for the inputs. At the end of the cyclical
program, the process diagram for the outputs are transferred to the output
assemblies as the signal state.
PROFIBUS Standard for field bus communication between control units (SPS/IPC) and
devices in automation technology (PROcess Field BUS)
èwww.profibus.com
PROFINETIO Field bus standard based on Industrial Ethernet for communication

between control units (SPS/IPC) and devices èwww.profinet.com
PROFIsafe Safety-based bus profile for PROFIBUS and PROFINETIO that, in

conjunction with PROFIsafe-compliant devices (F-Host und F-Device)
facilitates correct and reliable transmission of safety messages.
Serving as mechanisms for safe transmission and error detection are:
– CRC signatures (data integrity check),
– Consecutive numbering of safety-related messages,
– Address data check èPROFIsafe address
– Time monitoring.
In case of errors, the F-Device can automatically trigger predefined safety
measures. Based on the continuous numbering, receivers can tell whether
they have received the messages in the correct sequence and completely.
For this purpose, F-Host and F-Device have their own finite state machines
that are synchronised with the help of a control and status byte. Correct
synchronization is monitored by incorporation of counter values in the
calculation of the CRC signature.
PROFIsafe address For identification of the addressee of a message, each PROFIsafe-capable

device or module has a unique PROFIsafe address. The PROFIsafe address
is specified in the configuration program and set at the PROFIsafe-capable
device or module through DIL switches. Configuration errors can be
determined automatically through comparison between the set and actual
configuration.
PROFIsafe monitoring Monitoring time for safety-related communication between F-Host and
time F-Device
Reentry Changeover from substitute values to process values = depassivation

(èPassivation).
Reintegration is a standard process of PROFIsafe to depassivize a
passivized module (PROFIsafe specification).
Reintegration Reintegration is the standard PROFIsafe process for the reincorporation of

passivized modules.
Festo P.BE-CPX-F8DE-P-E N en 1505NH English XXVII

Replacement value Preset safe value that replaces the real process value and/or the
programmed value in the event of a malfunction and when booting
safety-related systems.
With CPX-F8DE-P (digital inputs) a value of 0 is transmitted in the input
image.
Safe status Status in which a system works with secured process values or safe
substitute values to prevent potentially dangerous movements or other
types of hazard.
Safety chain All elements of a safety unit.
Safety circuit Total of all signals processed for a safety function and their sources.
Example: 2 door switches including wiring and 2 related
discrepancy-monitored inputs, their monitoring and the related technical
safety actuators.
Safety classification An indicator of Functional Safety comprising èPerformance Level,

èCategory and èSafety integrity level.
Safety control Programmable controller with special elements for processing safe input
information into safe output information.
Safety integrity Effectiveness of safety functions in a safety-related system under

requirement-based parameters governing the use of a product (e.g.
voltage, temperature, industrial environments, PELV)
Safety integrity level Safety Integrity Level for safety-related systems in acc. with EN61508.
There are 4 levels (SIL1 thru SIL4). SIL1 is the lowest level and SIL4 is
the highest level of safety integrity. The higher the level the less probable it
is that the system will fail in a dangerous manner.
Safety-oriented Safety circuit including safety-oriented activation through the controller.

1.2 PROFIsafe
Data exchange between the input module and the safety con
troller is made with the safety-related bus profile PROFIsafe
from PROFIBUS or PROFINETIO.
1.2.1 Safety profile PROFIsafe
The PROFIsafe telegrams are embedded in standard tele

grams and are directed via the so-called black channel from
the safety controller to the input module. The black channel
extends from the field bus connection on the safety controller
via the bus node to the input module CPX-F8DE-P èFig. 1/2.
There the PROFIsafe telegrams are processed by the input
module.
In addition to the process data, safety information is transmit

ted in the PROFIsafe telegram. For that reason, the CPX-F8DE-
P assigns 6 bytes in the input image and 7 bytes in the output
image of the CPX terminal èFig. 1/3; 3 , 4, 5 .

2 Embedded PROFIsafe telegram 4 1 byte status or control byte

5 3 bytes CRC signature (CRC2)
Fig. 1/3: Telegram layout of the input module CPX-F8DE-P

Data are transmitted on the same physical basis as the trans

fer of process data to a standard module. There is a distinc
tion to be made between the kind of data and the interpreta
tion of that data by the F-Device (PROFIsafe slave).
For PROFIsafe communication in conjunction with input mod

ule CPX-F8DE-P the following applies:
– the module supports the PROFIsafe V2.4 bus profile in

V2mode
– Parametrisation on V1 mode is rejected.
1.2.2 Process image (I/O image)
Due to the safety mechanisms of PROFIsafe the input module

CPX-F8DE-P in the process image of the CPX terminal assigns
7 bytes for outputs and 6 bytes for inputs.
Outputs consist of:
– 3 bytes of output data (F usage data, èTab. 1/7)
– 1control byte (for PROFIsafe communication)
– 3bytes of CRC (for PROFIsafe communication).
Inputs consist of:
– 2bytes of input data (F usage data, èTab. 1/8)
– 1status byte (for PROFIsafe communication)
– 3bytes of CRC (for PROFIsafe communication).
Function modes are set via the output data from the input
module.

1.2.3 Bit pattern of the output and input data (F-user data)
Output data
Byte 0 serves to activate channel-based passivation and to
acknowledge channel errors èChapter1.2.4.
Bytes 1 and 2 serve to select the function modes for all chan
nel pairs and are set as a 16-bit wide word by the F-host.

1.2.4 Channel-wise passivation
Via bit 1 of byte 0 for output data (PAA) “channel-wise pas

sivation” can be switched on or off èTab. 1/7.
Channel-wise passivation While this function is disabled (0 = Off ), in accordance with

disabled PROFIsafe specification and even when there is only one
channel error, the input module switches all information on
the input image into a safe status (= module-wise passiva
tion).
– All inputs = 0
– All qualification bits = 0
Passivation in the event of a fault is based on PROFIsafe spe

cification.
For troubleshooting
Note diagnostic messages from module in the F-Host.
Channel-wise passivation If this function is enabled (1 = on) when a channel error oc
enabled curs, the input module switches the input information of the
affected channel pair to 0, depending on the function mode.
The input information of unaffected channel pairs does not

change and the input module remains integrated.
The input module indicates via the input image the current
channel error status to the control unit:
– All input bits relating to the channel bundle = 0
– All qualification bits relating to the channel bundle = 0

Acknowledgment sequence
When using the channel-wise passivation, acknowledgment is
made with the help of the safety program via bit 0 from byte0
of the output data (PAA) èTab. 1/7.
The following description of the sequence shows the bits in

the input and output depiction of the input module that are

Tab. 1/10: Channel error acknowledgment – example

Automatic acknowledgment is possible by holding the ac

knowledgment bit permanently at “1”.
If acknowledged while an error is still present, the input im

age remains in safe mode. In the event of undesired automat
ic acknowledgment, a safety program must ensure that the
safety controller cancels that acknowledgment.
Note
In the event of a restart of the F-Host (Stop èRun), the
channel monitoring function of the input module
CPX-F8DE-P also restarts.
If the cause of the error is still present, the channel error
will be triggered again.
1.3 Functional method of the input module
The inputs on the input module are always evaluated using 2

independent internal channel paths. To this end, the input
module is equipped with 2 processors that monitor one an
other continuously and can also monitor the input channels
for cross-circuiting, depending on the selected function
modes.
The input module is designed such that the input channels

can provide either secure data or no data at all, even when a
fault is present in the system, e.g. with:
– overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, short circuit and

cross circuit
– Failure or malfunction of communication via PROFIsafe
– Failure or defect of individual safety-determining compon

ents of the input module.

1.3.1 Safe system status
Whenever a fault is diagnosed in the input information for the

module, the reaction depends on the module operating mode
selected:
– With the operating mode “Module-based passivation”

(PAAbyte0, bit1=0) that module passivation is per
formed in accordance with the PROFIsafe specification.
– With the “Channel-wise passivation” operating mode

(PAAbyte0, bit1=1) the affected channel bits (Ex, Qx) in
the input image (PAEbytes0 and 1) are set to logical
zero.
With a diagnosed internal module error, module passivation

is based on the PROFIsafe specification.
In the event of a massive stochastic failure of the module

hardware, the system responds with a PROFIsafe timeout.
1.3.2 Overview of applications
The input module can be used for the following tasks:
– Connection of different switches and sensors to the safety

chain
– Use of multi-channel sensor applications with up to 8 se

cure inputs, groupable and suitable for configuration with
the help of 11 different function modes
– Use as an input module for a primary safety controller.

Several input modules can be used together and these
monitor mutually independent sensors.

1.3.3 Details of the function modes
To create safety circuits with recommended sensors, the in

put module CPX-F8DE-P provides various function modes.
These function modes can be set separately for each channel
pair.

² Can be used with low safety requirement
Tab. 1/12: Recommended sensors
Note
The setting of function modes can restrict the selection of
usable connection blocks.
Make sure that the connection block required for the
safety function is present.

Note
The following applies for all applications involving sensors
and switches in combination with the corresponding func
tion modes of the input module CPXF8DEP:
The achievable safety integrity level, Performance Level
and category of your system are limited by the component
of the safety chain with the lowest characteristic value.
Only use switches and sensors that meet the technical
safety requirements of the application.
When using tried and tested components in accordance
with EN13849-2, TableD.3, calculate the safety rating
from the respective manufacturer’s specifications.
The technical specifications for the switches and sensors
include information relating to safety considerations and
operating conditions.
Note
Malfunctions are possible on unused inputs.
Ensure that for unused channel pairs, it is always func
tion mode 0 that is set.
On function modes with switching signals:

– Clock outputs T0, T2, T4 and T6 use different clock sig
nals for each other and for T1/T3/T5/T7.
– Clock output signals T0, T2, T4 and T6 run different
switching signals to one another, and in respect of
T1/T3/T5/T7.

Function mode 0 – no signal evaluation
When switching on the input module, all channel pairs are

preset to this mode. This function mode serves for the initial
commissioning of wiring and sensors.

1.3.4 Use of switching signals
Clock signals are used to monitor the wiring on the input

channels of the input module.
Via T0, T2, T4 and T6 specific switching signals are made

available for the relevant input channel:
– To detect cross-circuiting between inputs and clock signal

connections for function modes with switching signals or
diagnostics
– To detect short circuits between the inputs/clock signal

connections and sensor wiring.
On function modes with switching signals:
– Clock output signals T1, T3, T5 and T7 have the same

clock signal signal.
– Clock output signals T0, T2, T4 and T6 run different

switching signals to one another, and in respect of
T1/T3/T5/T7.
Note
OSSD sensors on connection block CPX-
M-AB-4-M12X2-5POL-Twill cause a fault to occur.
The connection of an FE contact to Pin5 on an M12 socket
causes a short circuit. This adversely affects signals T1, T3,
T5, T7.
The input module reports module fault 02: “Short circuit
0V at clock signal output T1357”.
Only connect the FE contact of a sensor to the M12 con
nector screw connection of the module.

1.3.5 Channel bundling
Depending on the function mode use, 2, 4, 6 or 8 channels

can be grouped together to form a channel bundle.
Within a channel bundle, the input and qualification bits be

have as follows:
Status of the inputs Input bits Qualification bits on the

channel bundle
No error 0 or 1 (dependent upon function 1

mode and input signal)
Faults 0 0
Tab. 1/27: Behaviour of input data with channel bundles
If channel-wise passivation is not enabled, when a fault is

detected, all input data bits are set to 0.

2.3 Installation of the electronic module
Note
Incorrect handling can cause damage to the electronics
modules.
Never push/pull the electronics module into/out of the
interlinking block when powered.
Electronic modules include electrostatically sensitive
devices.
Observe the handling specifications for electrostatically
sensitive devices.
Discharge yourself electrostatically before assembling or
disassembling modules to protect the modules.
Before the CPX terminal can be extended or converted, it

must first be unscrewed and dismantled. Instructions on this
can be found in the CPX system description.
CPX terminals are supplied from the factory completely fitted.

It may be necessary to fit or remove the connection blocks for
the following reasons:
– Replacement of the connection block
– Changing the DIL switch setting è Chapter 2.4, on setting

the PROFIsafe address
– replacement of a defective electronics module.
The plugs connected to the connection block may remain

attached whilst dismantling the connection block.

2. Installation
2.3.1 Dismantling the electronics module
1. Switch off operating and load voltage supplies to the CPX

terminal.
2. Unscrew and remove mounting screws aJ èFig. 1/1.
3. Carefully lift off connection block1, 2 or 3.
4. If required, carefully remove electronic module 4 from
the bus bars.

Ensure prior to assembly that the PROFIsafe address on

the electronic modules is set correctly èChapter2.4.
Note
Handle the components with care.
Ensure that the interconnecting block is clean and free of
foreign bodies, especially on and near the contact rails.
Check the seal and the sealing surfaces. Replace dam
aged parts.
Ensure that connecting surfaces are clean. This helps to
optimise the sealing action and to prevent contact faults.
1. Position input module correctly in interconnecting

block 6 without tilting it and press it to the stop
èFig. 1/1.
2. Align connection block1, 2 or 3 and fit to electronic
module 4.

2. Installation
2.4 Set PROFIsafe address
The input module is controlled by an F-Host via PROFIsafe

and needs a PROFIsafe address for the F-host to identify itself
uniquely. The PROFIsafe address is defined by configuration
software and is set using binary coding on the 10-bit DIL
switch. Both settings must match.
Permitted PROFIsafe addresses: 1 … 1022
The 10-bit DIL switch is located directly on the electronics

module and can be set while the connection block is not
mounted è Fig. 1/1.
The DIL switch setting is evaluated during the start phase of

the firmware.
1. Set the DILswitch carefully using a small screwdriver.
2. Switch the input module back on to use a new address.

5.1 Overview
The CPX terminal offers extensive possibilities of diagnosis

and error treatment. The input module supports the following
diagnostic and error handling facilities:
Diagnostics option Brief description Reference
On-site LED The LEDs on the input module display errors in èChapter 5.3
diagnostics the input channel and modules.
Operator unit On the operator unit, diagnostic information èChapter 5.4.1 as

(MMI) from the input module can be displayed well as description
conveniently with menu navigation. of the operator unit
Diagnostics System status 8 status bits of the CPX terminal display èCPX system
via bus interrogation common diagnostics messages (global error description and
node (status bits messages) description of the
interrogation) bus node
I/O diagnostics CPX-F8DE-P reports specific faults as fault èTab. 5/2

interface numbers to the bus node. The I/O diagnostic è CPX system
interface enables these data to be description
interrogated.
Fieldbus specific Dependent on the bus node (e.g. DPV1) èDescription of

diagnostics the bus node
Tab. 5/1: Diagnostics options

Reported errors can be evaluated, depending on the bus pro
tocol used. The errors are indicated on-site via the Error LED
and, if necessary, can be evaluated with the operator unit.
Information about the diagnostic options on the complete
CPX terminal and/or all modules can be found in the CPX
system description and/or in the description of the bus node
employed.
Note
Ensure that the diagnostic messages cannot be evaluated
for safety-related measures.

5.2 Error characteristics
The input module distinguishes between types of error and

responds accordingly with:
– Channel passivation if a failure can be allocated to pre

cisely that channel (e.g. with cross-circuiting detection).
– Module passivation if the fault that occurs cannot be al

located precisely to one channel and no component de
fect is detected (e.g. communication failure with
PROFIsafe).
– Safe shut-down if a single microcontroller detects the

failure of a component that is required to run the pro
gram.
– Passivation as a result of the incorrect setting of a func

tion mode.
The input module can only transmit certain error messages as

a function of the selected function mode.

The LED display on the input module is not designed in a
safety-compliant manner.
Note that the LEDs may not be evaluated for safety-re
lated measures.
When switching on the operating voltage power supply

UEL/SEN, module fault LED 1 lights up for approx. 500 ms.
Until the input module parameters have been defined cor

rectly by a PROFIsafe-Master, the FP-LED2 will flash.
In normal operating status, the following LEDs light up:
– FP-LED2
– Status LEDs4 on the active input channels
The status LEDs on inactive input channels and the module

error LEDs1 and channel error LEDs3 do not light up.
