Commissioning
9.3 Commissioning procedure
Redundancy IDs 1 and 2
Redundant operation is only possible if the two CPUs have different redundancy IDs. The
redundancy IDs can have values of 1 and 2. The CPUs save the redundancy IDs in their
retentive data areas.
Both CPUs have redundancy ID 1 in the following cases:
● Default setting upon initial commissioning
● After reset to factory settings
In the STEP 7 project tree, each of the two CPUS is displayed with its own tree. The
redundancy ID is used to assign a project tree to the real CPU in STEP 7. The upper CPU of
the two CPUs in the project tree always has a redundancy ID of 1. The lower CPU of the two
always has a redundancy ID of 2.
Diagnostics displays are assigned to the real CPUs in the project tree in the same way.

Assigning redundancy IDs to CPUs in the configuration
Requirement: The CPUs have the same firmware version and the same or compatible article
numbers.
You have the following options for assigning different redundancy IDs to the CPUs:
● Automatic assignment
● Assignment using the display
