Customer benefits
You can download a modified user program into the
R/H CPUs in the RUN-Redundant system state.
Advantage: The redundant system will remain con-
sistently in the RUN-Redundant system state during
the change to the user program. The system state
will not switch to RUN-Solo or SYNCUP.
You do not have to interrupt the process during a
backup while the plant is running.
Uninterrupted plant operation avoids high restart and
material costs.
The "Switched S1 device" function of the CPU ena-
bles operation of standard IO devices in the S7-
1500R/H redundant system.
When testing with breakpoints, you run a program
from breakpoint to breakpoint in the STARTUP
(startup OB) or RUN-Solo system state. Testing with
breakpoints provides you with the following ad-
vantages:
Testing SCL and STL program code with the help
•
of breakpoints
Localization of logic errors step by step
•
Simple and quick analysis of complex programs
•
prior to actual commissioning
Recording of current values within individual exe-
•
cuted loops
Using breakpoints for program validation is also
•
possible in SCL or STL networks within LAD/FBD
blocks.
