PCS 7, step V: Switch to CPU with modified configuration

Starting situation
The modified hardware configuration is downloaded to the standby CPU.
Procedure
1. In SIMATIC Manager, select a CPU of the fault-tolerant system, then choose "PLC >
2. In the "Operating Mode" dialog box, click the "Switch to..." button.
3. In the "Switch" dialog box, select the "with altered configuration" option and click the
4. Acknowledge the prompt for confirmation with "OK".
Result
The standby CPU links up, is updated (see section Link-up and update (Page 93)) and
becomes the master. The previous master CPU switches to STOP mode, the fault-tolerant
system operates with the new hardware configuration in single mode.

1)
Central modules are first reset. Output modules briefly output 0 during this time (instead of the

configured substitute or hold values).
Reaction to monitoring timeout
The update is aborted and no change of master takes place if one of the monitored times
exceeds the configured maximum. The fault-tolerant system remains in single mode with the
previous master CPU and, assuming certain conditions are met, attempts the master
changeover later. For further information, refer to section Time monitoring (Page 106).
