6.2 Redundant System Network Overview
6.2.1 CC-Link IE Controller Network or MELSECNET/H PLC to PLC network
6
Pairing settings can be made for the following CPU modules that can work as the
control station.
• Redundant CPU
*1
• High performance model QCPU
*1
• Process CPU
*1
• Basic model QCPU
*1
• Universal model QCPU
*1
• Q4ARCPU
*1 *2
When connecting a redundant system to the network that includes the CPU module
other than above, for which control station network parameters have been set, change
the system A or system B of the redundant system to the control station.
* 1 : Refer to Section 2.3, for GX Developer that supports a redundant system (including pairing
settings).
* 2 : The pairing settings cannot be made with the Q4ARCPU in the CC-Link IE Controller Network.
(6) Startup Order of System A and System B
No restrictions apply to the startup order of system A and system B when connected
to the CC-Link IE Controller Network or MELSECNET/H PLC to PLC network.
After starting up system A and system B, the control system and standby system are
determined, and then the data link is continued.
