Removal Of Components - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 CPU 410-5H System Manual

System modifications during redundant operation

10.4 Removal of components

10.4 Removal of components
Starting situation
You have verified that the CPU parameters (e.g. monitoring times) match the planned new
program. Adapt the CPU parameters first, if necessary (see section Editing CPU parameters
(Page 174)).
The modules to be removed and their connected sensors and actuators are no longer of any
significance to the process being controlled. The fault-tolerant system is operating in
redundant system mode.
Procedure
Carry out the steps listed below to remove hardware components from a fault-tolerant
system in PCS 7. Details of each step are described in a subsection.
Step What to do?
1 Offline modification of the hardware configuration
2 Editing and downloading the user program
3 Stopping the reserve CPU
4 Loading a new hardware configuration in the reserve
CPU
5 Switch to CPU with modified configuration
6 Transition to redundant system mode
7 Modification of hardware
Exceptions
This general procedure for system modifications does not apply to removing interface
modules (see section Removal of interface modules (Page 173)).
Note
After changing the hardware configuration, download takes place practically automatically.
This means that you no longer need to perform the steps described in sections Step 3: Stop
the standby CPU (Page 169) to Step 6: Transition to redundant system state (Page 171).
The system behavior remains as described.
You will find more information in the HW Config online help, "Download to module ->
Download station configuration in RUN mode".
