Configuration

you are using the IEC environment, check the IEC Hot Standby check box.

Extensions

When exiting the Configuration Extension dialog with OK, the CHS Hot Standby

screen

loadable is automatically added to the project, but this requires the loadable being

 

part of the Concept environment (refer to Loading the Software, p. 112). There is a

 

second loadable with the name IHSB added as well. It is needed for the program

 

transfer from Primary to Standby.

 

In turn, when the IEC Hot Standby check box is unchecked, the CHS and IHSB

 

loadables are removed from the project automatically.

 

The following diagram shows the Configuration Extensions dialog box.
