2.4 Firmware functions
Functions
CPU 1513R-1 PN supports the following firmware functions:
There are two duplicate CPUs that synchronize their
data via redundancy connections within a PROFINET
ring. If one of the CPUs fails, the other CPU retains con-

nostics
The system automatically generates the messages for
the system diagnostics and outputs these messages via
a programming device/PC, HMI device or the integrated
display. System diagnostics information is also available
when the CPUs are in operating state STOP.

tionality
Trace functionality supports you in troubleshooting
and/or optimizing the user program.
You record device tags and evaluate the recordings with
the trace and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for ex-
ample, drive parameters or system and user tags of a
CPU.
Trace and logic analyzer functions are suitable for moni-
toring highly dynamic processes.
Note: Note that the S7-1500R/H redundant system
supports recording of measurements. However, saving
the measurements to the SIMATIC memory card is not

IO-Devices with S2 system redundancy enable uninter-
rupted operation during a primary backup switchover.
If the role of the CPUs changes, the new primary CPU
takes over the PROFINET IO communication.

The switched S1 device function of the CPU enables
operation of standard IO devices in the S7-1500R/H
redundant system.

RT prioritizes PROFINET IO frames over standard frames.
This ensures the required determinism in the automa-
tion technology. In this process the data is transferred
via prioritized Ethernet frames.

Protocol)
The Media Redundancy Protocol enables the configura-
tion of redundant networks. Redundant transmission
links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative commu-
nication path is made available if a transmission link
fails.
Within the PROFINET ring, the R-CPUs assume the role
of the MRP Manager following appropriate project con-
figuration and all other devices in the ring assume the
