Hi,

To use redundant connection you must use redconnect license. You will need only one CP1613 card. You must connect both 443-1 modules to hub and CP1613 also to this hub. In wincc side you must use named connections. You can find detailed instructions here:

Hope this hepls.

Dear All,
Thanks for the discussion. I am able to communicate with H system using one CP1613. But my client requires 2 CP1613 to communicate with H? Can anyone tell me what settingsI need to adapt?


Thanks,
RJ

1.In NetPro right click on CPU-41X H and selectInsert New Connection.

2.In new opened windowselect S7-connection fault-tolerant as Connection type and click OK.

3.Properties ofS7-connection fault-tolerant will be opened. you can see at bottom of thiswindow avalible connection: CP 443-1 (R0/S5) to CP 1613 andCP 443-1(1) (R1/S5) to CP1613that means two connection between PC and H-Station is avaiable as redundantconnection.

Hi

From the description supplied by Darius below I understand that the S7 RED CONNECT software AND License is to be installed on the Programming-PC assuming this is the same device as the final operator PC.

This is not possible in my project. The programming tool has to be a separate PC/labtop form where the final project can be downloaded to the final hardware on site some time in the future when the hardware is built.

Do  i need a second license for the onsite operator PC?
