Note
When a mechanical contact turns on output power to the S7-1200 CPU, or any digital
expansion module, it sends a "1" signal to the digital outputs for approximately 50
microseconds. This could cause unexpected machine or process operation which could
result in death or serious injury to personnel and/or damage to equipment. You must plan for
this, especially if you are using devices which respond to short duration pulses.
Reverse voltage protection
Reverse voltage protection circuitry is provided on each terminal pair of +24 V DC power or
user input power for CPUs, signal modules (SMs), and signal boards (SBs). It is still possible
to damage the system by wiring different terminal pairs in opposite polarities.
Some of the 24 V DC power input ports in the S7-1200 system are interconnected, with a
common logic circuit connecting multiple M terminals. For example, the following circuits are
interconnected when designated as "not isolated" in the data sheets: the 24 V DC power
supply of the CPU, the sensor power of the CPU, the power input for the relay coil of an SM,
and the power supply for a non-isolated analog input. All non-isolated M terminals must
connect to the same external reference potential.
Connecting non-isolated M terminals to different reference potentials will cause unintended
current flows that may cause damage or unpredictable operation in the PLC and any
connected equipment.
Failure to comply with these guidelines could cause damage or unpredictable operation
which could result in death or severe personal injury and/or property damage.
Always ensure that all non-isolated M terminals in an S7-1200 system are connected to the
same reference potential.
