Additional Guidelines for IEC Hot Standby

IEC Applications

1. There are 64K words of state RAM as a maximum for IEC HSBY Registers in an

Optimization,

IEC Hot Standby application. Using as little state RAM as possible for other

Continued

purposes besides IEC HSBY Registers, allows running medium sized IEC

 

applications in IEC Hot Standby mode. When using the IEC application data very

 

efficiently, the size of the application can grow from medium to large.

 

2. To optimize an IEC application to consume as little memory as possible takes

 

some effort and may reduce the maintainability of the application. Therefore you

 

should always try to reduce data memory to what is needed. The efficient use of

 

the State RAM, as described in the following section, should be considered

 

whenever possible. It provides large data memory benefits compared to the work

 

needed to achieve it.
