Redundant CPU 315-2 System

Post by cdejoui »

Hello Community,

I am currently working on setting up a redundant system using two Siemens CPU 315-2 PN/DP units. However, I do not have IM 153-2 modules and there are no remote I/Os in my setup. I plan to use Ethernet communication through CP 343-1 modules for redundancy. Additionally, I need to communicate with other PLCs using Modbus.

I have a few questions regarding this setup:

Is it possible to achieve full software redundancy without IM 153-2 modules?
Can FC 100SWR_START be configured effectively in this scenario?
Are there any specific considerations or limitations I should be aware of when setting up software redundancy without IM modules?
Any detailed guidance, example configurations, or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
