12.1 Synchronization Module for S7-400H

Function of the Synchronization Module

The synchronization module serves as the point-to-point communication of two

redundant S7-400H CPUs with two channels. You require two synchronization

modules per CPU for the fault-tolerance of 1 of 2 systems. You can connect the

modules in pairs via a fiber optic cable.

You can replace the synchronization module when voltage is applied. This supports

the repair behavior of H systems and thus tackles the failure of the redundant

connection without having to bring the plant to a halt.
