Item
Description
Reference
System Switching Function
(Switching between the
Control System and Standby
System)
This function switches the control system and the standby system. (It changes
the control system to the standby system, and the standby system to the
control system.)
There are 2 types: automatic system switching and manual system switching.
Operation Mode Change
This function switches the operation mode between the separate mode and
backup mode
Tracking Function
This function transfers the operation control data to the standby system to
ensure continuous system operation when a control system failure or fault
occurs.
Control can be continued with the same data even if a control system failure or
fault occurs and the systems switching occurs.
Online Program Change for
Redundancy
This function transfers the data, such as programs (including those written
online) and parameters written to the control system CPU from the standby
system.
Memory Copy from Control
System to Standby System
This function copies program memory contents from the control system to the
standby system.
(When exchanging the standby system CPU module, use of this function can
make the control system and standby system program memories consistent.)
This function can be executed by using GX Developer, or by using the special
relay and special register.
Online Module Change
(Hot swapping)
• Allows replacement of an I/O module mounted on the main base unit where
the Redundant CPU is mounted while power supply is ON. (Not applicable
when any extension base unit is connected.)
• Allows replacement of an I/O module or intelligent function module
*1
mounted on an extension base unit while power supply is ON.
• Allows replacement of an I/O module or intelligent function module
*1
mounted on a MELSECNET/H remote I/O station while power supply is ON.
• Allows replacement of a power supply module while the system is operating
when the system uses the redundant power main base unit.
