Redundancy mode
Note
The following description provides you with general information about the operation of
the ibaBM-DP device in redundancy mode. You will find detailed information about dif-
ferences and special features in comparison to operation on the normal PROFIBUS.
For understanding the following description, we suppose that you have basic knowledge
in using the ibaBM-DP device.
The redundancy mode of ibaBM-DP and ibaPDA is required if you want to capture data
of redundant PROFIBUS systems of a SIMATIC S7-400H control.
Basically, data can also be captured without redundancy mode. The disadvantage is that
data have to be captured on each of the both PROFIBUS systems. When analyzing data,
the user has to decide which of the two data sets is valid.
In redundancy mode, ibaBM-DP decides automatically and dynamically, which PROFI-
BUS system sends the valid data sets. Only valid data is sent to ibaPDA for recording.
ibaBM-DP recognizes situations like the switching of a S7-400H CPU to STOP, the failure
of a slave connection (e. g. IM153-2 for a redundant ET200) or a broken cable. It then
changes dynamically the bus system used for data capturing.
In case, valid data is recognized on both bus systems, the bus system 0 (connected to
the X40 plug) is preferred.
In redundancy mode, "sniffing" an existing master/slave communication can be done.
You can also use active slaves in ibaBM-DP for sending internal data of the PLC directly
to ibaPDA. The active slaves can also have an input data range. Then the signals can
be passed from ibaPDA via ibaBM-DP to the master.
When using active slaves on ibaBM-DP, you have to take measures in the program of
the S7-400H CPU, for preventing an eventual failure of an active slave (e. g. over
OB85). This is necessary for preventing negative influences on the rest of the program.
Note
Due to the system, for some cycles zero values or „frozen“ values might be recorded
when changing the active bus system (e. g. a S7-400H CPU switches to STOP status).
For using redundancy mode, you need an additional license (order information see chap-
ter 2). The license is activated via the administrator functions in the web dialog of
ibaBM-DP (see chapter 9.3.6) or via the I/O Manager in ibaPDA in the "Profibus Browser"
dialog (see chapter 10.4.5.)
After having activated the license in the web dialog, the "Info" page shows that redun-
dancy mode is available.
