Overview of Quantum Hot Standby

IEC HSBY

IEC HSBY

IEC Hot Standby means: Programming an application with the choice of 5 different

Architecture

IEC compliant languages; FBD, LD, SFC, IL and ST.

 

1.

The IEC HSBY system uses the same hardware architectures as 984 HSBY

 

 

system for its basic operations. For example, state RAM data transfer and

 

 

switchover control are the same, but there are some differences compared to the

 

 

984 HSBY system.

 

2.

PLC firmware upgrade is allowed without shutting down the system with Concept

 

 

2.5 or higher. Earlier versions of Concept require shutting down the system to

 

 

upgrade PLC firmware.

 

3.

RIO is serviced differently.

 

4.

With Concept 2.5 or higher, it is now possible to download the same application

 

 

to Primary and to the Standby controller. The result is that the Hot Standby

 

 

system will be fully setup (equalized) with identical applications in both

 

 

controllers. Earlier versions of Concept require you to use the UPDATE bush

 

 

button (refer to Using a Quantum IEC Hot Standby System , p. 109) on the CHS

 

 

module in the Standby rack to equalize both controllers. Therefore, the same

 

 

application including the configuration will be running in both controllers.

 

5.

There’s no CHS function block used in IEC.
