Starting situation
Failure
How does the system react?
Failure of a fiber-optic cable or synchronization
module:
The S7-400H is in the redundant system state
and a fiber-optic cable or synchronization module
fails.
See also chapter Synchronization modules for
the CPU 410. (Page 239).
•
Master CPU reports the event in the diagnos-
tic buffer and through OB 72 or OB 82.
•
The standby CPU switches to ERROR-
SEARCH operating state for a few minutes. If
the error is eliminated during this time, the
standby CPU switches to redundant system
mode, otherwise it switches to STOP.
•
One of the two LEDs Link1 OK or Link2 OK is
lit
One of the two LEDs IFM1F or IFM2F is lit
Procedure
Follow the steps below to replace a fiber-optic cable:
Step
What to do?
How does the system react?
1
Look for the cause of the error along the path
for which the IFMxF LEDs are lit on both
CPUs:
IFM1F: Upper sync modules in CPU rack 0
or rack 1 or corresponding synchronization
cable.
IFM2F: Lower sync modules in CPU rack 0
or rack 1 or corresponding synchronization
cable.
First, check the fiber-optic cable.

If the fiber-optic cable is defective, replace it. The IFMxF LEDs on both CPUs go out.
Follow the steps below to replace a synchronization module:
Step
What to do?
How does the system react?
1
Replace the synchronization module on the
CPU on which the LED Linkx-OK is still lit.
-
2
Plug in the fiber-optic cable connections of
the synchronization modules.
•
The LEDs IFMxF go out.
If the LED should not go out, you must
replace the synchronization module on
the other CPU.
•
Both CPUs report the event in the diag-
nostic buffer

Start the standby CPU
The system status now changes to Redun-
dant mode.
