Program the Redundant Controller

Load a Project

If you need to load a project from nonvolatile memory, you must first disqualify

your redundancy system. You then load the project from the primary controller

and resynchronize the redundant chassis once the load is complete.

For details about loading a project from nonvolatile memory, see the Logix5000

Controllers Memory Card Programming Manual, publication

1756-PM017

.

Online Edits

You can edit the redundant controller program while the system is online and

running. However, in addition to considerations described in the Logix5000

Controllers Quick Start, publication

1756-QS001

, considerations specific to

redundancy must be made.

Support for Partial Import Online

Beginning with enhanced redundancy system revision 19.052 or later, you can

use the Partial Import Online (PIO) feature available in RSLogix 5000 software.

Consider these points when using PIO with enhanced redundancy systems at

revision 19.052 or later:

If you select Import Logix Edits as Pending or Accept Program Edits

when executing a PIO, the primary controller treats the PIO feature as a

set of multiple test edits where, after the import is complete, you can

switch between testing the edits or not.

We recommend that you do not use Finalize All Edits in Program when

importing edits. If you use this option, any failure due to the import causes

a failure on the new primary controller after a switchover.

If edits exist in the primary controller due to a PIO, they are treated the

same as normal test edits with respect to the ‘Retain Test Edits at

Switchover’ selection and Redundancy System Update.

The primary controller rejects any attempt to qualify if a PIO is in

progress.

If you attempt to initiate a PIO on a primary controller in the process of

qualifying the system, that PIO is rejected.
