Removing components in STEP 7

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 323)).
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 STEP 7. Details of each step are described in a subsection.
Step What to do?
1 Editing the hardware configuration offline
2 Editing and downloading the user program
3 Stopping the reserve CPU
4 Downloading a new hardware configuration to the reserve
CPU
5 Switching to CPU with modified configuration
6 Transition to redundant system mode
7 Modification of hardware
8 Editing and downloading organization blocks
