There is one problem I see with this setup: in a primary/standby redundant system, the standby DP-master would not be active while the primary is active, and the contrary would also be true. So the data transfered through the DP/DP coupler would not be valid when its S7-414H CPU was not active. You could of course use the DIA setting (I/O data validation) functions on both couplers and use the first byte transfered to validate the status of the tramsitting master's data. But I fear this could lead to invalid decisisons in PLC3 based on invalid data. Please correct me if my interpretation is wrong. The second drawing illustrates the "accepted" way of transfering data between redundant H-system PLCs and a 3rd slave; this at least is supported by Siemens and you would get support in case of problems. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier Attachment S7Hsystem_DP.jpg (129 Downloads)

Eastern Posts: 557 Rating: (64)	HI dchartier Your observation is right, but my problem is third party plc (YOKOGAVA) is master only, in case I can go only master master communication, does this configuration work. Or if u have a other idea about this please let me know, but my all plc’s are master & I have to exchange the datavivek
