Using a Quantum IEC Hot Standby System

Standby on Logic Mismatch

Overview

To function properly, the Primary and the Standby controller in a Hot Standby

 

system must be solving an identical program, which is updated on every scan by a

 

state RAM data transfer between the two controllers.

 

By default, the Standby controller is set to go Offline if a mismatch is detected

 

between its program and that of the Primary controller. Switchover cannot occur

 

while the Standby controller is Offline.

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

I/O Map / Configuration Hazard

 

 

A mismatch in the I/O map or configuration is not allowed under any

 

 

circumstances.

 

 

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment

 

 

damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

 

 

 

Switchover Hazard

 

 

If switchover occurs when the radio button is set to Running and there

 

 

is a logic mismatch between the two controllers, the Standby controller

 

 

will assume Primary responsibilities and will start solving a different

 

 

logic program from the previous Primary controller.

 

 

Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury or equipment

 

 

damage.

Logic Mismatch

 

 

 

 

Concept 2.5, and the new PLC Executives delivered with it, support the Standby on

for Concept 2.5

Logic Mismatch option in the Hot Standby Configuration Extension. Logic mismatch

 

allows you to make online changes to the program of the Standby or Primary

 

controller while the HSBY system continues to run the process. The Standby on

 

Logic Mismatch option also allows up to date process data to be transferred from the

 

Primary controller after download of the modifications.
