28.2 System Switching
In separate mode
: Switching possible, : Switching not possible
*1 When the group specification has been set in the standby system, a network error is not detected if communication is available with the
line of an Ethernet-equipped module after a communication error has occurred on the other Ethernet-equipped module. ( MELSEC
iQ-R Ethernet User's Manual (Application))
*2 If system switching is failed when a system switching request is sent, a continuation error occurs and a cause of a switching failure is
stored in SD1644 (Cause of system switching failure).
*3 If system switching is disabled when a system switching request is sent, the error code corresponding to a cause of the system
switching failure is returned.
Occurrence of a cause of the system switching failure
When a cause of the system switching failure occurs, the BACKUP LED flashes in backup mode and the SEPARATE LED
flashes in separate mode.
The cause to flash the BACKUP LED or SEPARATE LED can be checked in SD1642 (BACKUP/SEPARATE
LED flashing cause). Check SD1642 and eliminate the cause to flash the LED.
