Failure And Replacement Of A Power Supply Module; Initial Situation - Siemens SIMATIC S7-400H Manual

Failure and Replacement of a Power Supply Module

Initial situation

Both central processing units are at RUN.
The S7-400H is in redundant system mode
and one power supply module fails.
Procedure
To change a power supply module in the central rack, perform the following steps:
Step
1
2
3
Note
If you use a redundant power supply (PS 407 10A R), two power supply modules
are assigned to one fault-tolerant CPU. If a part of the redundant PS 407 10A R
power supply module fails, the corresponding CPU keeps on running. The
defective part can be replaced during operation.
Other power supply modules
If the failure concerns a power supply module outside the central rack (e.g. in the
expansion rack or in the I/O device) the failure is reported as a rack failure (central)
or station failure (remote). In this case, simply switch off the power supply to the
power supply module concerned.

Failure and Replacement of Components During Operation
Failure
What Has To Be Done?
Turn off the power supply (24 V DC for
PS 405 or 120/230 V AC for PS 407).
Replace the module.
Switch the power supply module on
again.
How Does the System React?
•
Partner CPU switches to single mode.
•
Partner CPU reports the event in the
diagnostics buffer and via OB 72.
How Does the System React?
•
Entire subsystem is turned off
(system operating in single mode).
-
•
CPU executes the self-tests.
•
CPU performs automatic LINK-UP
and UPDATE.
•
CPU changes to RUN (Redundant
system mode) and now operates
as the standby CPU.
