Reaction to monitoring timeout 
The update is canceled and no change of master takes place if one of the monitored times 
exceeds the configured maximum. The fault-tolerant system remains in single mode with the 
previous master CPU and, assuming certain conditions are met, attempts the master 
changeover later. For additional information, refer to section Time monitoring (Page 110). 
Where the values for the monitoring times in the CPUs differ, the higher values always apply. 
 
Step 5: Transition to redundant system mode 
Starting situation 
The fault-tolerant system operates with the modified CPU parameters in single mode. 
1.  In SIMATIC Manager, select a CPU of the fault-tolerant system, then select "PLC > 
Operating Mode" from the menu. 
2.  From the "Operating Mode" dialog box, select the reserve CPU, then click "Warm 
Restart".
