With the redundancy mode of ibaBM-DPM-S, the device can be operated on redundant PROFIBUS systems in combination with SIMATIC S7-400H controllers, whose measurement data are to be acquired. You need an additional license for using the redundancy mode of ibaBM-DPM-S. Contact the iba Support. The license is released using the administrator functions in the Web dialog of the ibaBM-DPM-S.

Request-S7 redundant is suitable for operating ibaBM-DPM-S with the Request functionality as single-channel periphery on a highly available SIMATIC S7-400H controller.

The following figure shows an exemplary integration of an ibaBM-DPM-S in redundancy mode.

The functionality of the Request-S7 for ibaBM-DPM-S in redundancy mode mostly corresponds to the functionality in standard mode (see chapter Request-S7 for ibaBM-DPM-S). The differences and extensions are described in the following.
