Using a Quantum IEC Hot Standby System

Memory Partition

IEC HSBY

The number of IEC HSBY Registers (size of transfer buffer) is set to the maximum

Registers

whenever the IEC Hot Standby configuration extension is activated the first time for

 

a particular project. So after having the IEC Hot Standby configuration extension

 

activated, the state RAM is fully occupied with the default values for 0x, 1x, 3x, 4x

 

and the remaining maximum for IEC HSBY Registers (3x). The dialog that follows

 

shows how the number of IEC HSBY Registers can be modified.

 

The diagram below shows a PLC Memory Partition.

 

Concept shown

Note: The higher the number of IEC HSBY Registers (IEC Hot Standby Data in the above dialog) the bigger the transfer buffer for the IEC heap and therefore the bigger the IEC application may be. See State RAM, p. 155.
