The Secondary Produced Exchange Offset parameter is available in the Ethernet Global Data properties when
redundancy is enabled and at least one produced exchange is configured to produce in backup mode. The use
of the offset is illustrated below.
Non-HSB targets have an additional Ethernet Global Data property, Redundancy Role, which appears when any
Ethernet interface in the system is configured for redundant IP operation. This parameter is used only within
the programming software and is not delivered to the PLC. The Redundancy Role parameter is not displayed for
HSB systems.
Note: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the same offset value is specified in both the
primary and secondary target projects.
