11.2 System states of the S7–400H
11.2.1 The system states of the S7-400H
The system states of the S7-400H result from the operating states of the two CPUs. The
term "system state" is used as a simplified term which identifies the concurrent operating
states of the two CPUs.
Example: Instead of "the master CPU is in RUN and the reserve CPU is in LINK-UP mode"
we say "the S7-400H system is in link-up mode".
