Adapter Casing (S5 Adapter)
1.1

Marginal Conditions

General conditions
The following conditions must be observed when S5 modules are used in an
S7-400 system:
Valid racks
The adapter casing may only be installed in the central unit of the S7-400
system.
Note
Seek advice from your SIEMENS representative if you want to use an S5
module, that has previously been used in an S5 system, in your S7 system.
The information given in this Chapter only refer to the current versions and
revision levels of the listed S5 modules.
7–4
Check with your SIEMENS representative that the modules you want to
employ have been released for utilization.
Special standard function blocks must be used for integrating configura-
ble S5 modules into a STEP 5 application program. Consequently, you
must order new standard function blocks if you have only S5 standard
function blocks for an S5 module that have not expressively been released
(in the Device Manual or the Product Information) for utilization with
STEP 7.
The general technical specifications (environmental conditions in particu-
lar) of SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7 differ. The more stringent environ-
mental conditions of S5 or S7 apply if an S5 module is used in an S7-400
system.
