Is it possible for Hot swapping in 1500 system?

Hi guys,

I found this article that says hot swapping is possible in 1500 system.

https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/kw/en/view/109744698 

on my further research in forum, all previous entries says that Hot swapping is possible only with OB83 in S7 400 & S7 300 high end PLCs.

Can someone help me sort this out please.
Now that H redundancy is possible in 1500 system, it is supposed to have hot swapping, right?

My general understanding in s7-1500's in the I/O modules are hot-swappable.  Obviously, if your project requires a module to operate properly and continuously, you would stop it so you could swap out the module.

With redundancy as an option for the s7-1500's in the "H" family, you can design and program the system to continue operating while swapping out a module. 

This is a good thing for large process systems that cost much time and/or money to stop and restart.  That said, this is an early version of redundancy for the s7-1500 family.  If it were me, I would not stake my company's reputation and design using that on a large scale system without having tested it in-house for an extended period of time, creating and solving all potential problems with handling of module / channel failure, and module swapping.
