PCS 7, Step II: Changing and Loading User Program

Initial situation
The fault-tolerant system is working in redundant system mode.
Caution
!
The following program modifications are not possible in redundant system mode
and result in the system mode Stop (both CPUs in STOP mode):
•
structural modifications to an FB interface or the FB instance data
•
structural modifications to global DBs
•
compression of the CFC user program.
Before the entire program is recompiled and reloaded due to such modifications
the parameter values must be read back into the CFC, since otherwise the
modifications to the block parameters could be lost. More details of this can be
found in the manual CFC for S7, Continuous Function Chart.
Procedure
1. Perform only the program modifications relating to the hardware to be removed.
You can remove the following components:
– CFC and SFC charts
– blocks in existing charts
– channel drivers, connections and parameter settings
2. In SIMATIC Manager, select the charts folder and choose the Extras >
Charts > Generate module drivers menu command.
This removes the driver blocks that are no longer required.
3. Compile only the modifications in the charts and load these into the PLC.
Notice
Until the first FC is called the value of its coil is undefined. This is to be taken into
account in the connection of the FC outputs.
Result
The fault-tolerant system continues to work in redundant system mode. The
modified user program will no longer attempt to access the hardware to be
removed.
