1 Introduction
1.1 Task
The new generation of fault-tolerant S7-1500R/H controllers integrates extensive
procedures to achieve system redundancy at the control level. For some
applications, however, high availability at field level or module level is also
required. The LRedIO library was created for this purpose.
The blocks of the LRedIO library coordinate the redundant signal processing in the
CPU on the software side. They must be called in the user program, and the
parameters must be assigned depending on the input and output modules used.

1 Introduction
Setup
The layout shown in figure 1 maps the basic structure of redundant I/O devices on
an S7-1500 using the example of an S7-1500H system. The ET 200SP stations
have the same structure, but this is not necessarily mandatory. Only the redundant
modules must be of the same type (same MLFB and firmware). The two redundant
ET 200SP stations are handled via the function blocks from the LRedIO library,
which are called cyclically in the user program.
Benefits
The solution presented in this document offers you the following advantages:
• Connection of I/O devices in redundancy mode
• Pre-configured blocks
• Easy handling
Required knowledge
The following knowledge is required:
• Basic information on handling TIA Portal
• Basic information on handling SIMATIC S7-1500
• Basics in handling redundant S7-1500 R/H systems
• Basic information on handling ET 200

1 Introduction
The blocks of the LRedIO library coordinate the redundant ET 200SP stations.
Figure 1-4 shows the structure of the application example. Different sensors and
actuators with different wiring are connected. The value status of each redundantly
switched channel is evaluated to determine whether the supplied values are valid.
The value status is available as of Standard (ST) module class. The flowchart from
Figure 1-5 shows a general sequence of functions of the Red_IO blocks.

First, the input parameters are checked for the correct value ranges to prevent the
block from starting with invalid values. The channels are then checked for valid
value status, and the operation or provision of the process value is derived.

Note Other similar products not in the above list can be used. Changes in the example
code (such as other addresses) may be necessary.
Note The application example shown was implemented with an S7-1517H system, but
the blocks are standard code and work with both an S7-1515/1513R system and
standard S7-1500 CPUs. The family of I/O devices is defined here with the
ET 200SP as well; however, the ET 200MP also provides a value status, which
means that modules of this family can also be used.

2.1 Hardware setup
2.1.1 Digital input
Figure 2-1
In the application example, a floating switch S1 is connected to the digital input. To

diagnose a wire break, a resistor (R1) is installed parallel to the switch. Otherwise,
the value status of the channel is always invalid. According to the manual, this
resistor (R1) must be between 25 kΩ and 45 kΩ. If another digital sensor is
connected, its resistance must also be between 25 kΩ and 45 kΩ .
2.1.2 Digital output
Figure 2-2
A contactor K1 is redundantly connected to two channels at the digital outputs. In

this type of interconnection, protective diodes (D1 and D2) must be fitted to protect
the outputs from supply currents. Suitable diodes can be found in Table 1-2.

Two temperature sensors T1 and T2 are connected to two measuring converters

W1 and W2 at the analog inputs. The analog values of the measuring converters
are monitored via the associated LRedIO_RedAI block.
2.1.4 Analog output
An analog control valve with a control range of 4 to 20 mA is connected to the

analog outputs. For this purpose, protective diodes (D1 and D2) must be fitted to
protect the outputs from supply currents. Suitable diodes can be found in Table 1-
2. The LRedIO_RedAQ block controls the valve.

2.2 Configuration
2.2.1 TIA Portal project hardware overview
Figure 2-5
The hardware structure of the project is shown in Figure 2-5.

It consists of an S7-1500H system and, for this example, two identical ET 200SP
stations. Their design may differ from that described.
The stations are structured as follows:
Figure 2-6
The value status must be activated in the individual modules. The option for this
can be found in the module parameter settings of the individual modules.

Entry-ID: 109767576, V1.0, 06/2019 12
2 Engineering
2.2.2 Assigning parameters to the modules
The hardware parameters of the modules must be assigned as follows:

Figure 2-7
For this purpose, the value status option must be activated in the module
parameters. These value statuses now appear as inputs in the IO tags of the module.
Figure 2-8
Note All diagnostics can be activated for digital inputs, analog inputs and analog
outputs. For digital outputs, the "wire break" diagnostics must be deactivated.
However, this error is still detected by the block but it does not generate an entry
in the diagnostic buffer and the module does not output a warning by the LED
flashing in red.

2.2.3 TIA Portal project block integration
To integrate the blocks into the user program, first open the global library LRedIO.
Copy all blocks from the library to the Program Blocks folder and drag them into your
user program.

Now, the previously activated value status and the inputs or outputs that are to be
made redundant must be connected at the blocks. Here a separate block must be
used for each channel pair.

(redundant operation). For more information on how the adjustment process works, refer to the section

procedure of a faulty signal differs. If a positive edge is detected at the "ack" input,
the output switches on again, regardless of this value status is present or not. If the
value status follows the acknowledgment signal within two seconds, the device
switches to normal operation (redundant operation). If no positive value status has
been detected at the block after two seconds, the block switches back to single-
channel operation.
Figure 3-1
3.1.2 Reintegration of analog input
The "discrepancy" and "discrepancyTime" inputs span a validity range within which
the two values of the input channels may move at the analog input block. If one of
the two channels is outside this validity range for too long, a previously
parameterized reaction is initiated by the block (see section 2.5). To prevent signal
flutter, the user can define a hysteresis range. The signal deviation must return to
this range so that the faulty signal can be reintegrated.
Note For temperature measurements we recommend setting a sufficiently large

discrepancy time.

3.1.3 Reintegration of analog output
The reintegration of a passivated analog channel depends on the following input

parameters:
- outputType 0 to 2 (current output)

- twoActuators: false
If the parameters of the LRedIO_RedAQ block are assigned accordingly, a control
valve with current level control is connected to two redundantly connected
channels. If this is the case, a special reintegration procedure of the outputs must
be completed to protect the connected actuators from damage.
In case of a single channel error, the second channel becomes the supply channel
and takes over the full load of the actuator. For reintegration, the passivated
channel is now ramped up step-by-step, and the channel with the full load is
ramped down by the same steps. However, the output on both channels never
exceeds 100% of the target value. The steps depend on the call frequency of the
LRedIO_RedAQ block in relation to the OB1 cycle time.

In Figure 3-3 the trace shows a run from the loss of the value status to the
reintegration of the invalid channel. The call time of the LRedIO_RedAQ block is
approx. 1 ms here, the reintegration time was set to 300 ms.
Figure 3-4
The block calculates considerably fewer adjustment steps if a call time of 10 ms is

set:
Figure 3-5
With a call time of 10 ms, the reintegration time of 300 ms requires approximately
30 steps for the adjustment. The distances between these steps are much larger.
