Availability
If the communication connection via a CPU fails, the stations of the distributed I/O can
communicate with the H system over the high availability bus line. The configuration shown in
the following figure provides increased availability due to the interfacing of the distributed I/O.

Note
Changes to PROFINET modules only take effect when you load your hardware configuration
with the updated STEP 7 version to the CPU, which is in "STOP" mode.
