Operation of a program executed in both systems
The following describes the operation of a program executed in both systems.
 • To perform different diagnostic processing in the control system and standby system by using a program 
executed in both systems, use the special relay. SM1634 (Control system judgment flag) turns on only in the 
control system and SM1635 (Standby system judgment flag) only in the standby system. The following 
shows a program example of when different processing is performed. For (1) and (2) in the following 
example, use the SET instruction or others to prevent duplication of a coil in the processing.
(1) Diagnostic processing in the control system, (2) Diagnostic processing in the standby system
 • When a program executed in both systems is used, device/label values may differ between the control 
system and the standby system. If the systems are switched in this state, the program is started based on 
the different data, causing an unintended operation. The device/label values to be used can be initialized by 
using SM1643 (ON for only one scan after system switching (standby system to control system)) and 
SM1644 (ON for only one scan after system switching (control system to standby system)). For (1) and (2) 
in the following example, use the SET instruction or others to prevent duplication of a coil in the processing.
(1) Initialization processing (standby system  control system), (2) Initialization processing (control system  
standby system)

Control system A program is executed according to its execution type. A program is executed according to its execution type regardless 
of the setting in "Both Systems Program Executions Setting".
Standby system A program executed in both systems is executed according to its 
execution type.
When an initial execution type program is set as a program 
executed in both systems, the program is executed in the first scan 
while the CPU module are in the RUN state.
When an initial execution type program is not set as a program 
executed in both systems, a program executed in both systems of 
scan execution type is executed in the first scan while the CPU 
modules are in the RUN state.
