Theory of 984 HSBY Operation

The normal Hot Standby configuration contains:

In the local rack: power supply (CPS), PLC (CPU), RIO Head (CRP 93x), Hot

Standby module (CHS)

In one remote IO drop equipped with 8 I/O modules, power supply (CPS) and

lremote adapter (CRA)

Only the logic for the scan time evaluation

PLC Scan Times The scan time increase with different PLCs, after adding HSBY, is outlined in the

Scan Time Increase table below.

PLC to CHS Data

The investigation of the PLC specific data transfer rate in a Hot Standby system

Transfer Rate

leads to the following results.

 

 

 

 

 

CPU x13 0x

1.6 ms / byte

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPU 424 02

2.0 ms / byte

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPU 434 12 /

1.9 ms / byte

 

 

CPU 534 14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

State RAM

The following table lists the number of bytes required for reference storage in state

 

RAM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coil (0x)

3 bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discrete (1x)

3 bit

 

 

 

 

 

 

Input Register (3x)

2 bytes

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holding Register (4x)

2 bytes plus 2 bit

 

 

 

 

 

Based on the data shown in the tables above you may forecast the overall scan time of a Hot Standby system once you know how much state RAM is going to be transferred and the time required for a particular logic application to be executed in a standalone system.
