Execution of an F-STOP in S7 F/FH systems
F-STOP illustration
Error in master:
Before a safety program in a redundant F CPU goes into F-STOP, it completes the following
steps:
● The S7 F/FH system performs a master-to-standby switchover.
● The previous master goes into the configured operating state (default setting:
TROUBLESHOOTING).
If no errors are detected, the F CPU reconnects.
Note
You can find more information in the manual titled "SIMATIC Fault-tolerant Systems S7-
400H" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/82478488).
If an error is detected, the previous master goes into FAULT mode (all LEDs on the affected
CPU flash).
On redundant F CPUs, errors on one communications partner will not stop program
execution.
