Simulation of R/H-CPUs PLCSIM Advanced V4.0 supports simulation of R/H-
CPUs
• Virtual commissioning of machines with R/H-CPUs
in a system
• Automatic testing of the STEP7 user program
The simulation offers the following advantages:
• Early error detection and risk minimization
• Reduced response times
• No hardware costs

OB 72 (CPU redundancy
error)
As of FW version V2.9, the operating system calls
OB72 on further events:
• The R/H-system has entered RUN-Redundant sys
tem state and the synchronization of the two R/H-
CPUs is possible redundantly.
• The R/H-system has entered RUN-Redundant sys
tem state, but the synchronization of the two R/H-
CPUs is not possible redundantly.
• The R/H-system is still in RUN-Redundant system
state and the synchronization of the two R/H-CPUs
is possible redundantly now or again.
• The R/H-system is still in RUN-Redundant system
state, but the synchronization of the two R/H-CPUs
is no longer possible redundantly.
"RH_CTRL" instruction As of FW version V2.9, the "RH_CTRL" instruction sup
ports additional functions:
• Request SYNCUP
• Switch primary CPU to STOP mode (only in RUN-
Redundant system state)
• Switch backup CPU to STOP mode

Instructions for recipe
phases
As of FW version V2.9, the instructions for recipe
phases supports:
• RecipeExport (export recipe)
• RecipeImport (import recipe)
Technology objects
TO_BasicPos and
SSI_Absolute_Encoder
Technology object "TO_BasicPos"
You use the "TO_BasicPos" instruction to cyclically con
trol a SINAMICS drive with the technology for SINAM
ICS S/G/V basic positioners.
Technology object SSI_Absolute_Encoder
You use the "SSI_Absolute_Encoder" instruction to con
trol position detection and measuring functions of the
TMPosInput technology module via the user program.
