Quality levels in the redundant configuration of signal modules
The availability of modules in the case of an error depends on their diagnostics possibilities
and the fine granularity of the channels.
Using digital input modules as redundant I/O
The following parameters were set to configure digital input modules for redundant
operation:
●
Discrepancy time (maximum permitted time in which the redundant input signals may
differ). The configured discrepancy time must be a multiple of the update time of the
process image and therefore also the basic conversion time of the channels.
When there is still a discrepancy in the input values after the configured discrepancy time
has expired, an error has occurred.
●
Response to a discrepancy in the input values
First, the input signals of the paired redundant modules are checked for consistency. If the
values match, the uniform value is written to the lower memory area of the process input
image. If there is a discrepancy and it is the first, it is marked accordingly and the
discrepancy time is started.
During the discrepancy time, the most recent matching (non-discrepant) value is written to
the process image of the module with the lower address. This procedure is repeated until the
values once again match within the discrepancy time or until the discrepancy time of a bit
has expired.
If the discrepancy continues past the expiration of the configured discrepancy time, an error
has occurred.
