Control module must be assigned to PPLUS or Application Station to get WIOC hardware alarm (OINTEG)

Hello experts,

   We are using a BFI block to send 8 digital inputs (hardware alarms) to a Profbus link (8 bit integer). One of the signals comes from the WIOC (monitoring the status of the redundant WIOC), but if the module is assigned to the controller, we get "RED CROSS", The only way to avoid it is assigning the control module to App Station or PPLUS. We cannot assign to PPLUS using costumer dongle and if they don't have an App Station, this functionality will not work.

   Does anybody know if is there any other alternative/solution?

   Thanks for your help.
