12.9.1
Change hardware configuration offline
Starting situation
The fault-tolerant system is operating in the redundant system state.
Procedure
1.
Perform offline only the configuration modifications relating to the hardware being
removed. As you do, delete the icons to the channels that are no longer used.
2.
Compile the new hardware configuration but do not yet download it to the PLC.
Result
The modified hardware configuration is available in the PG/ES. The target system continues
operation with the old configuration in redundant system mode.
