Figure 6-56 Failure of the redundant system through safe state of the 1518HF-4 PN CPUs
Sequence of events
1. Data corruption in the safety program of the primary CPU occurs due to incorrect
programming (DIV instruction = 0 if enable output ENO is not connected).
2. The error response state switches all fail-safe inputs/outputs to the safe state. The HF-system
then switches to STOP system state.
3. System redundancy has failed. The process is no longer controlled by the redundant system.
