Assigning redundant fieldbus via engineering task

Requirement
● The hardware engineering has been performed in the Navigator.
– A station has been created for redundant hardware and equipped with hardware.
– The redundant interface modules of the distributed I/O are equipped with I/O modules.
See chapter Hardware engineering in the Navigator (Page 100).
● A fieldbus has been assigned via an engineering task.
See also chapter Assigning a field bus to a DP slave via a task (Page 117).
● The "Locations" tab is displayed in the Navigator.
You can find more information on this topic in the "EI&C Operation" manual, keyword "Using
engineering tasks".
Overview
● The first subsystem of the station is connected to one of the two PROFIBUS DP interfaces
via a DP master interface with the engineering task "Assign fieldbus".
● The second subsystem of the station is connected to the second PROFIBUS DP interface
with the engineering task "Assign redundant fieldbus".
Procedure
1. Select the first interface module in the Navigator.
2. Open the properties of the interface module.
3. Select the "Tasks > Bus system" tab.
4. Check whether the task "Assign fieldbus" is available.
Create the task "Assign fieldbus" using the context menu if it is not available.
5. Check to see if the engineering task "Assign redundant fieldbus" is available.
Create the engineering task "Assign to redundant fieldbus" using the context menu if it is not
available.
6. Select the station in the Navigator.
7. Expand the structure below the station until the first bus is displayed.
8. Drag&drop the "PROFIBUS" object or a similar object from the Navigator to the "Target
object" column in the "Assign fieldbus" row.
9. Expand the structure below the station until the redundant bus is displayed.
10.Drag&drop the "PROFIBUS" object or a similar object from the Navigator to the "Target
object" column in the "Assign redundant fieldbus" row.
11.Click the "Execute" button in the "Tasks > Bus system" tab.
12.Confirm your entries.
