8.2.2.4 Time stamping in the redundant system
The IM 153-2 supports the function time stamping even in the redundant system S7-400H.
Time stamping of signal changes in an S7-400H
Both IM 153-2 save the messages of the time-stamped signals. This way, after a changeover
process from active to passive IM 153-2 the "new" active IM 153-2 prepares the current
messages for further processing.
Note
During the changeover between the two IM 153-2 the signal changes are not time stamped.
This time is communicated by the special message "Changeover with redundant BEGIN /
END".
You will find more information on time stamping in redundant systems in the "PCS 7
documentation (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/10806846/130000
)"
documentation.
