Portal) library.

3.2 Principle of operation


The operator device is connected to both H CPUs over a network.
Scripts are used to check in the operator device which of the controllers is
reachable.
If the H CPU that is currently connected to the panel fails, or if the communication
between the panel and the currently connected H CPU fails, the connection is
automatically switched over to the other H CPU.
You can find the following script templates in the library
"96837136_Panel_H-PLC_Library_v2.zip":
• Script_connection_PLC1
• Script_connection_PLC2
• Script_connection_lost

3.2 Principle of operation

Script_connection_PLC1 and Script_connection_PLC2


Both scripts are functionally identical and differ only in their connection parameters.
The following functions are executed in the scripts "Script_connection_PLC1" and
"Script_connection_PLC2":
1. Initializing:
The connection that reaches the trigger condition writes the connection name
to the tag for the connection memory of the data connection.
2. Reset:
The connection state tag is set to 1 to attain "OK" status.
3. Fault detection:
The connection state tag of the other connection is incremented. After a few
cycles, this procedure detects an active fault in the other connection, and
checks for a necessary data connection switchover.
4. Switchover:
If the other connection cannot reset the connection state tag, then it reaches a
limit. A check is then run for whether the data connection is on this failed
connection.
If this is the case, the connection is switched over.
5. Restore:
This section addresses a restore after a total connection loss. The first
connection to be active again switches the data connection over to itself.
© Siemens AG 2020 All rights reserved

Script_connection_lost
In the event of a complete connection loss, there is no longer a fast trigger on the
panel to run scripts.
In order to detect a total failure and display it, the Scheduled tasks is used on a
one-minute cycle. The script used in the Scheduled tasks (Script_connection_lost)
contains the following functions:
1. Error marking:
The connection state tag is set to 5 for both connections. If both connections
are active, the intervention once every minute has no effect. 5 corresponds to
the connection status "OK".
2. Disable:
If the connection state tags for the two connections are at 5 or higher, they are
set to 100. 100 corresponds to the connection status "disabled".
"Script_connection_lost" is written to the connection memory of the data
connection.
Status of the connection state tags:
Table 3-4
Values Status
0 Initializing, waiting for first trigger
1 to 5 OK
6 to 10 Fault
11 to 20 Failed
100 Disabled

3.4 Example scenarios


Initialization
Connections "PLC_1" and "PLC_2" are both active.
Per the default, the connection "PLC_Changer_12" is interconnected to "PLC_1"
("connected_to" = PLC_1).

Fault detection and resetting


The scripts "Script_connection_PLC1" and "Script_connection_PLC2" are triggered
by reading the triggers ("trigger_PLC1" und "trigger_PLC2").
• Every time it is run, "Script_connection_PLC1" increments the connection state
tag for the connection to PLC_2 by 1, and sets its own connection state tag to
1.
– con_state_PLC2 = con_state_PLC2 + 1
– con_state_PLC1 = 1
• Every time it is run, "Script_connection_PLC2" increments the connection state
tag for the connection to PLC_1 by 1, and sets its own connection state tag to
1.

© Siemens AG 2020 All rights reserved

con_state_PLC1 = con_state_PLC1 + 1
– con_state_PLC2 = 1

Scenario 1
Due to an error, the connection to PLC_1 is lost.
• The trigger can no longer be read via this connection.
• The script "Script_connection_PLC1" is no longer executed.
• The script "Script_connection_PLC2" continues to be executed cyclically.
The connection state tag for the connection PLC_1 ("con_state_PLC1") is no
longer reset, so the connection state tag reaches the limit of 11 (see Table 3-4).
The script "Script_connection_PLC2" checks the connection memory
"connected_to". Because this memory is on PLC_1, the "ChangeConnection"
function switches the data connection over to the parameters of the PLC_2
connection. The connection memory is set to PLC_2.
• connected_to = PLC_2

3.4 Example scenarios

Scenario 2
The PLC_2 connection also fails due to a fault, therefore the script
"Script_connection_PLC2" can no longer be run.
Scheduled tasks runs the script "Script_connection_lost" once every minute.
Both connection state tags are set to 5 in the first cycle.
• con_state_PLC1 = 5
• con_state_PLC2 = 5
Both connection state tags are set to 100 in the second cycle; the connection
memory to "Script_connection_lost".
• con_state_PLC1 = 100
• con_state_PLC2 = 100
• connected_to = connection_lost
→ A complete connection loss has occurred.

4.2 Principle of operation


By evaluating the status of the H CPU (Master/Reserve) and with the internal
system function "ChangeConnection" [DE "WechseleVerbindung"], it is possible to
connect one panel to one H CPU.
To do this, you must set different addresses for the H CPUs.
If the SIMATIC H station detects the failure of one H CPU (e.g. H-CPU_1), a
connection is established to the other H CPU using the "ChangeConnection"
function.
The "ChangeConnection" function severs the connection to the PLC in use and
establishes a new connection to the given PLC.
You have two ways of employing the "ChangeConnection" function:
• Manual switchover with a function key: Configure the system function
"ChangeConnection" on the "Print" event.
• Automatic switchover: Automatic call of "ChangeConnection", e.g. at the event
"On exceeding" of a process tag.

Note Please remember that when using this solution, no switchover will take place if
there are communication failures.
