With this configuration and redundant operation, the fault-tolerant system is connected to the
standard system via bus1. This applies no matter which CPU is the master CPU.
For linked fault-tolerant and standard systems, the availability of communication cannot be
improved by means of a dual electrical bus system. To be able to use the second bus
system as redundancy, a second S7 connection must be used and managed accordingly in
the user program (see next figure).
