④ Copying the work memory
The primary CPU stores a consistent snapshot of its memory contents and some system
memory contents (backup CPU dump) at the next cycle control point: Process image, bit
memory, SIMATIC time/count functions, temporary local data, data block contents.
After the snapshot, the primary CPU immediately resumes user program execution.
Communication connections are reestablished and asynchronous instructions are started. 
The primary CPU copies the consistent snapshot to the backup CPU and continues operating
in parallel. Data blocks, the process image, etc. are immediately overwritten with current data
from the primary CPU.
