This terminal block connects the respective process signals of the two IO modules to a 
common process terminal.  
●  There is less wiring work compared to connecting separate I/O modules, because the 
interconnection of the process signals is integrated in the system. 
●  The redundant signal processing of the sensors and actuators on the module level 
increases the availability of the system. 
●  In redundant operation, the switching characteristics of the output modules that can 
control the actuator in parallel are improved. 
Observe the following rules for configuring redundant I/O modules:  
 
●  The I/O modules must be approved for redundant operation. You can find this information 
in the manual for the respective module. 
●  Redundantly deployed I/O modules must be identical, i.e. they must have the same article 
number, the same hardware version and the same firmware version. 
 
I/O modules of the same type are plugged in pairs next to each other in the same IO device. 
●  Both slots are located on the same support module. 
●  Both slots are located on the same terminal block (
). 
 
Note 
Specific wiring 
Always read the documentation of the I/O module used.
 
 
 
●  Configure redundancy for the I/O module. 
The settings you make for an I/O module always apply to the module pair.
