Using a Quantum IEC Hot Standby System

Hot Standby Command Register

Range

You may enter any number in the range 1 ... n, where n is the last configured 4x

 

register. However:

the command register must be part of the area of state RAM that gets transferred

lfrom the Primary to the Standby controller on every scan.

therefore the command register must not be within the range of the nontransfer area, which you specify in the nontransfer area of the Hot Standby dialog.

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

Hot Standby Command Register Hazard

 

 

Be sure the register you select as the Hot Standby command register is

 

 

reserved for this purpose and not used for other purposes elsewhere in

 

 

user logic

 

 

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment

 

 

damage.

Keyswitch

 

 

 

 

You may choose to override the keyswitch on the front panel of the CHS 110

Override and

modules for security or convenience. If you override the keyswitch, the command

Run Mode

register becomes the means for taking the CHS 110 modules on or offline.

 

By default, the keyswitch override is disabled. The Hot Standby dialog allows you to

 

enable it.

If you enable the keyswitch override, the Offline/Running operating mode of the controllers at startup are determined by the values you set to bits 14 and 15 of the command register. These bits are represented as the Run Mode for controller A and B (depending on the designation slideswitch). Remember, that when the keyswitch override is enabled you cannot initiate a program update (program xfer) at the CHS 110 module in the Standby rack.

As long as the keyswitch override is disabled the settings for the Run Mode may be ignored.
