Split from Do S7-1500 have redundancy in each component and redundancy with more than one PLC?.

Hello Hussein,

Yet, there are no much information on S7-1500H. Even the conference tag is still S7-1500.

I will try to answer according to answers I already have from Siemens and also according to my experience with H systems compared to what I read in S7-1500H manual.

1&2 - As per Siemens guys' statements in SPS fair last week, the S7-1500 is mainly targeting discrete automation and it's not even for safety/critical applications in discrete automation.

No Safety in S7-1500H.

S7-1500H is not to replace S7-400H.

The redundant controllers for process industry are the ones of 400H controllers which will be still available beyond 2030.
