PLC executives

 

 

 

Step

Action

 

while Hot

 

 

 

 

1

Call up the Hot Standby command register, either in a Zoom screen or in the

 

Standby is

 

running

 

RDE. If you are using the Zoom screen, select the Without Stopping option for

 

 

 

bit 12. If you are using the RDE, set the value of bit 12 in the Hot Standby

 

 

 

command register to 1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

Disconnect from the PLC and start the Firmware Loader Utility.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3

Perform a firmware download to the standby controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4

Do a program update from the Primary to the Standby controller as described in

 

 

 

Using a Quantum 984 HSBY System, p. 67 or Using a Quantum IEC Hot

 

 

 

Standby System , p. 109. At this point, you have a new system executive in the

 

 

 

Standby controller with the correct ladder logic and state RAM values.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5

Initiate a Hot Standby switchover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6

Perform a firmware download to the new Standby controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7

Refer to Concept V 2.2 User’s Manual, 840 USE 483 00. Now both the Primary

 

 

 

and the Standby controllers have the new system executive installed, and both

 

 

 

are running the same logic program with the same state RAM values. If you

 

 

 

initiate another switchover, the controller that was originally the Standby

 

 

 

becomes the Standby again.

 

 

 

Note: Some Exec upgrades may be because of new versions of Concept and

 

 

 

in certain cases the project may have to be converted before downloading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8

Reconnect to the Primary controller and reset bit 12 of the Hot Standby

 

 

 

command register back to 0 via either the Zoom screen or the RDE.
