Guide documentation S7-1500/ET 200MP 1.1.1 Information classes S7-1500/ET 200MP The documentation for the SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system and the ET 200MP distributed I/O system is arranged into three areas. This arrangement enables you to access the specific content you require. Changes and supplements to the manuals are documented in a Product Information.
Product Information takes precedence over the device and system manuals. You can find the latest Product Information on the S7-1500 and ET 200MP systems on the Internet (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/de/en/view/68052815). Manual Collection S7-1500/ET 200MP The Manual Collection contains the complete documentation on the SIMATIC S7‑1500 automation system and the ET 200MP distributed I/O system gathered together in one file.

Product overview 3.1 Application Performance segments of redundant CPUs The CPUs of the S7-1500R/H redundant system offer a high degree of reliability and system availability. A redundant configuration of the most important automation components reduces the likelihood of production downtimes and the consequences of component errors. The higher the risks and costs of a production downtime, the more worthwhile the use of a redundant system.
