Software requirements
● Installation of SIMATIC PCS 7
● Batch data replication is performed exclusively via an independent, additional network
adapter in both PCs.
● The network adapters are configured within the operating system (IP addresses and subnet
mask).
– Subnet mask: The network adapter for the data replication must not be in the same
subnet as the network adapter for the communication with the BATCH clients via the
terminal bus/with the AS via the plant bus.
– The addresses (IP and subnet mask) of the two PCs must be in the same network,
otherwise no communication is possible between the redundancy partners.
Configuration
The network configuration of the independent network adapter for a redundant BATCH system
is project-independent. It is performed in the "Simatic Shell" system folder in Windows Explorer.
1. Right-click on the "Simatic Shell" folder and select the shortcut menu command
"Redundancy Settings ...".
2. In the "Serial Interface" area, select "none, or the following symbol "-------------".
3. In the "Network adapter" area, select the adapter that has been configured and is now
available.
4. Close the dialog with "OK".
5. Open the "Network connections" dialog. Open the "Advanced Settings" dialog with the
menu command Advanced > Advanced Settings. Use the buttons in this dialog to set your
connections in the correct order. First configure the "Terminal bus" and "Plant bus"
connection and then the "Batch replication connection".
Note
Check that a log is not selected in the adapter settings for the plant bus (file and print
sharing).
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the redundancy partner.
Result
You have now configured the required communication for the redundancy partners and can
no perform database replication for SIMATIC BATCH.
