Configuration Requirements
This chapter defines the special configuration requirements of an Enhanced Hot Standby CPU Redundancy system.
Programmer Connection for Configuration
In a Hot Standby CPU Redundancy system, one CPU is configured as the Primary CPU and the other as the Secondary CPU. The Primary Unit and the Secondary Unit must be configured separately. The programming device must be connected directly to either the Primary or the Secondary Unit to configure that unit. For a new system, STORE configuration first, then logic.

One Application Program in Both PLCs
Although it is not necessary to use the same application program logic for both PLCs, it is difficult to maintain a system that uses two different programs. If the programs are not the same, logic changes made in one system must be
Program Folders in Control Programming Software
With the Control programming software, a single folder may be used if the logic is identical for both CPUs.
