If the active subconnection fails, the already established second subconnection automatically
takes over communication.
Resource requirements of fault-tolerant S7 connections
The fault-tolerant CPU supports operation of 62 fault-tolerant S7 connections (see technical
specifications). Each connection needs a connection resource on the CPU; subconnections
do not need any additional connection resources. On the CP, on the other hand, each
subconnection needs a connection resource.
Note
If you have configured several fault
-tolerant S7 connections for a fault-tolerant station,
establishing them may take a considerable time. If the configured maximum communication
delay was set too short, link
-up and updating is canceled and the redundant system state is
no longer achieved (see Chapter
Time monitoring (Page 123)).
