Ethernet Global Data in a Redundancy CPU

Ethernet Global Data is enhanced to provide optimal use with Redundancy CPUs. Configuration of Ethernet Global Data requires the use of Control Programming software, release 2.1 or later.

Ethernet Global Data Consumption

Either or both of the PLC units in a synchronized system can consume Ethernet Global Data. Consumption by individual units requires separate Ethernet Global Data configurations for the two units and therefore separate folders. If an exchange should be consumed by both units in a redundant system, the exchange must be multicast and the exchange must be configured to be consumed in each of the two units.

A single folder may be used for Ethernet Global Data configuration if there are no exchanges consumed or produced only by one of the two units.

Consumption of configured Ethernet Global Data exchanges occurs in RUN mode regardless of the Active/Backup state of the CPU and regardless of whether or not the units are synchronized.

The consumption of the Ethernet Global Data exchanges occurs independently on the two CPUs even when the same exchange is consumed in both units. The Ethernet modules obtain a copy of multicast exchanges at the same time, but polling of the exchange in the two CPUs may be phased by one or more sweeps. This can result in the two units seeing different values for the same exchange in a given sweep.

For example, an exchange might be consumed by the CPUs at a rate of 500ms. If the CPUs had a sweep time of 100ms, the same exchange might be seen 400ms later in one CPU than in the other. It may or may not be from the same exchange produced by the host.

Example

The diagram below shows an example with a sweep time of 100ms and an exchange that is produced every 300ms and consumed every 500ms.

If data from the exchanges must be seen identically on the two units, the reference data for the exchanges can be transferred from the active unit to the backup unit during the input data transfer. That transfer occurs shortly after the Ethernet Global Data consumption portion of the CPU sweep. Exchange variables transferred must be placed into %I or %AI memory to participate in the input data transfer.
