Setting up the hardware configuration
You do not configure the hardware of the power supply and the of the redundancy
module in the SIMATIC Manager. You configure the AS and the external
peripherals according to the PCS 7 standard. To monitor the power supply units
and the redundancy module, the signal contacts are each connected to one of the
digital inputs of the external peripherals and symbolized appropriately in the
hardware configuration.
Proceed as follows:
1. In SIMATIC Manager, open the hardware configuration of the automation
system.
2. Highlight the digital input assembly of the external peripherals (1) and choose
menu command "Edit > Symbols…".
3. Enter an appropriate symbolic name (2) for the inputs that are connected to the
power supply units and the redundancy module.
4. Click on "OK" to confirm your changes.
5. Compile and load the changed hardware configuration.
