3.4 Redundancy scenarios
3.4.2
Failure of the primary CPU
Introduction
The following redundancy scenario describes the effects of a defective primary CPU.

Sequence of events
1. The primary CPU of the redundant system fails in the RUN-Redundant system state.
2. The redundant system switches to the backup CPU. The backup CPU becomes the new
primary CPU. The redundant system switches to the RUN-Solo system state. You can
find additional information on the RUN-Solo system state in the section Operating and
system states (Page 197).
3. The new primary CPU exchanges process data with the IO devices.
4. The redundancy of the system is restricted. The restriction has no impact on the process.
If another system component or another network segment fails, this can result in the
failure of the S7-1500R/H redundant system. You can find additional information in the
section Failure scenarios (Page 72).
