Power supply (positions 0 and 1)
HX3040 CPU (positions 2 and 3)
I/O Modules (remaining positions in the rack)
Project Configuration with CPU Redundancy
The Wizard is always used to generate the first version of a redundant project. This ensures that the
initial version of the project will be generated quickly and correctly.
However, it is possible that some modifications are necessary, such as the insertion of new I/O.
modules. The following chapters show how to add and configure them.
The following section describes the rules and precautions, which must be followed in order to get a
proper redundant project.
Fixed Configuration in Positions 0 to 3 of the Rack
In the positions 0 to 3 of the selected rack, install the following modules:
Redundant power supply (positions 0 and 1)
Redundant HX3040 CPU (positions 2 and 3)
I/O Modules (from position 4 on)
Do not remove these modules from the original project generated by the Wizard.
Any different configuration in such positions will result in an error notified by the MasterTool when
compiling the project.
HX3040 CPU Ethernet Ports Configuration (NET 1 to NET 6)
IP Address Configuration
Figure 6-10 shows the settings of the NET 1 port of the HX3040 CPU. To open this screen, double-
click the desired NET in the device tree.

Then follow the basic parameters for the desired interface. The addressing is in accordance with the
Active IP exchange method, as described in Operation Principles > IP Change Methods > Active IP.
ATTENTION:
The three IP addresses (Active, CPUA and CPUB) and the Gateway address must belong to the
same subnet.
