REDUNDANT SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
(b) Precautions
1) The following redundant system functions cannot be executed in the debug
mode, as the systems do not operate as a redundant system even when they
are connected with the tracking cable.
• System switching (including manual system switching)
• Memory copy from control system to standby system.
• Tracking
2) The debug mode cannot be changed to the backup mode or separate mode
with GX Developer, as it is set by the redundant parameter.
Cancel the debug mode if the dialog box (Diagram 5.10) appears on GX
Developer:
Change the redundant parameter to cancel the debug mode.
3) When mounting the MELSECNET/H remote master station on the main base
unit, set the station No. to 0 (master station).
If the station No. is set to other than 0, the "LINK PARA. ERROR (error code:
3101) stop error will occur.
4) When the CPU modules connected with the tracking cable are running in the
different modes (backup mode/separate mode and debug mode), each of them
operate as shown in Table5.8.
Cancel the debug mode in the redundant parameter when using the
redundancy system in the backup mode.
5) In the debug mode, the CPU module uses the parameters for system A to
operate. Therefore, the station set as system B in the network parameters
becomes absent station (disconnected station). Check the system switching
operation in the backup mode prior to the system operation because the
system switching cannot be checked in the debug mode. On the programming
at system switching, refer to CHAPTER 7 “PROGRAMMING CAUTIONS”.
