H-CPUs
Fault-tolerant CPUs NEW Sync modules

Four new CPUs are available for the SIMATIC S7-400H to
suit different performance requirements. Apart from high
volumes, the H-CPUs are also characterized by high perfor-
mance. This is not only visible in a high processing speed, but
also in a large communication output.
The H-CPUs are connected by means of fiber-optic cables and
Sync modules that can be plugged directly into the CPU. This
means that no slot in the rack is lost and that communication
is extremely fast. The Sync modules can be replaced with the
voltage applied.

Furthermore, an integrated memory type that detects and There are two types of Sync modules:

nal influences is also used. The H-CPUs also permit a firmware • For Sync cables up to 10 km in length for applications in

Synchronization

The method of event-driven synchronization supports fast and

bumpless changeover to the redundant CPU in the event of a
fault. It resumes processing at the point of interruption
without any loss of information or interrupts. The operating
system ensures that all commands, which if executed inde-
pendently would produce different states in the two systems,
operate in synchronism. No programming or parameteriza-
tion has to be performed by the user for this purpose.
