REDUNDANT SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
(3) Debug Mode
*1
The debug mode is for debugging with a system configuration of only either system
prior to the system operation. In a redundant system, two Redundant CPUs are
normally required; however, debugging can be executed with only one CPU. (An error
will not occur even if the tracking cable is not connected.)
In the debug mode, the CPU module is fixed to "system A" and "control system", and
uses the parameters for system A to operate.
Therefore, the station set as system B in the network parameters becomes absent
station (disconnected station).
Confirm that the redundant system is running in the debug mode by checking the
relevant LEDs of the CPU module.
Refer to the following manual, for details on the CPU module LED:
QCPU User's Manual (Hardware Design, Maintenance and Inspection)
* 1 : When CC-Link IE Controller Network modules are mounted, do not connect the CC-Link IE
Controller Network module on both systems to the network at the same time.
In the debug mode, the system B CPU module uses the same parameters for the system A CPU
module for operation. Therefore, control station overlap and station number overlap occur when
connecting to the network at the same time.
