HRESULT SelectFBInstance (
[in] BSTR systemTag,
[out, retval] VARIANT_BOOL* result
);

The mechanism of assigning a DTM to a failsafe device is defined in more detail in section "4.5.3 F Parameter Assignment Paths" of the document "PROFIBUS Profile for Safety Technology, Version 1.20, 23-Oct-2002" . If a Communication-DTM is not able to support failsafe functionality, it will return a "false" success
