Step 4: Download new hardware configuration to the standby CPU
Starting situation
The fault-tolerant system is operating in single mode.
Load the compiled hardware configuration in the reserve CPU that is in STOP mode.
Note
The user program and connection configuration cannot be downloaded in single mode.
The new hardware configuration of the reserve CPU does not yet have an effect on ongoing
operation.
Step 5: Switch to CPU with modified configuration
Starting situation
The modified hardware configuration is downloaded to the reserve CPU.
1. In SIMATIC Manager, select a CPU of the fault-tolerant system, then choose "PLC >
Operating Mode" from the menu.
2. In the "Operating Mode" dialog box, click the "Switch to..." button.
3. In the "Switch" dialog box, select the "with altered configuration" option and click the
"Switch" button.
4. Acknowledge the prompt for confirmation with "OK".
The reserve CPU links up, is updated (see section Link-up and update (Page 109)) and
becomes the master. The previous master CPU switches to STOP mode, the fault-tolerant
system operates with the new hardware configuration in single mode.
