Failure and replacement of components of the distributed I/Os
Which components can be replaced?
The following components of the distributed I/Os can be replaced during operation:
● PROFIBUS DP master
● PROFIBUS DP interface module (IM 153-2 or IM 157)
● PROFIBUS DP slave
● PROFIBUS DP cable

16.3.1
Failure and replacement of a PROFIBUS DP master
Starting situation
Failure
The S7-400H is in redundant system mode and a
DP master module fails.
276
How does the system react?
With single-channel one-sided I/O:
The DP master can no longer process
connected DP slaves.
With switched I/O:
DP slaves are addressed via the DP master
of the partner.
