How to configure a redundant connection between an OS and AS

Introduction
To complete the configuration of the OS server and its redundant OS partner server, you need
to create the fault-tolerant network connections to the AS in NetPro.
Requirements
● The PCS 7 project is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● The AS is connected to the plant bus in NetPro.
● The plant bus has been configured.
● Two SIMATIC PC stations with network adapters have been configured in HW Config as
an OS server and OS partner server.
Procedure
1. Open NetPro in SIMATIC Manager with the menu command Options > Configure
Network.
2. Select the interface symbol in the first network adapter (e.g. CP 1613) in the picture of the
OS server and use the mouse to draw a connection to the plant bus.
The network adapter is now connected to the plant bus.
3. If two network adapters are configured for the plant bus in the OS server, connect the
second network adapter of the OS server to the (redundant) plant bus in the same way.
4. Connect the network adapters of the OS partner server to the plant bus in the same way.
