Setting procedure
Besides the method that uses the engineering tool for setting system A and B, system A and B can be 
automatically set by using the systems.
When one system is set to system A and gets ready for tracking communications, the other system is 
automatically set to system B, and vice versa.
For the system to which system A or system B has been assigned automatically, the system setting will be 
overwritten automatically. In that case, the system setting change can be checked in the event history. (Event 
code: 00700)
 • If a system that has no system A/B setting yet is connected to the system specified as system A, the system 
that has no system A/B setting will be automatically set to system B. (This event is not recorded in the event 
history.)
 • If a system specified as system A is connected to another system specified as system A, the system where 
the CPU module is turned off and on or reset will be automatically set to system B. (This event is recorded 
in the event history.)
1. Set the CPU module to the STOP state.
2. Select the setting to be written to the own system on the 
"System A/B Setting" window.
3. Click the [Execute] button.
4. Click the [Yes] button on the window on the left. Check 
that the SYS A LED or SYS B LED of the redundant 
function module flashes in accordance with the setting.
5. To change the system A/B settings, power off and on the 
system or reset the CPU module, and then click the 
[OK] button. Check that the SYS A LED or SYS B LED 
of the redundant function module turns on in 
accordance with the new setting.
