PCS 7, step VI: Transition to redundant state
Starting situation
The fault-tolerant system is operating with the new hardware configuration in single mode.
Procedure
1. In SIMATIC Manager, select a CPU of the fault-tolerant system, then choose "PLC >
2. From the "Operating Mode" dialog box, select the standby CPU, then click "Warm Restart".
Result
The standby CPU links up and is updated. The fault-tolerant system is operating with the
new hardware configuration in redundant mode.

1)
Central modules are first reset. Output modules briefly output 0 during this time (instead of the

configured substitute or hold values).
Reaction to monitoring timeout
If one of the monitored times exceeds the configured maximum the update is aborted. The
fault-tolerant system remains in single mode with the previous master CPU and, assuming
certain conditions are met, attempts to the link-up and update later. For further information,
refer to section Time monitoring (Page 106).
