Where can I find information?
PID controller PID controllers are built into all R/H-CPUs as stand-
ard. PID controllers measure the actual value of a
physical variable, for example, temperature or pres-
sure, and compare the actual value with the setpoint.
Based on the resulting error signal, the controller
calculates a manipulated variable that causes the
process value to reach the setpoint as quickly and
stably as possible.
The PID controllers offer you the following ad-
vantages:
•Simple configuration and programming through
integrated editors and blocks
•Simple simulation, visualization, commissioning
and operation via PG and HMI
•Automatic calculation of the control parameters
and tuning during operation
•No additional hardware and software required

Note
Standard rail adapter
You mount the CPUs on a standardized 35
mm rail using the standard rail adapter.
You will find information on mounting the standard rail adapter in the S7
-1500R/H redundant
system (
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109754833) System Manual.
Principle of operation
One of the two CPUs in the redundant system takes on the role of CPU for process control
(primary CPU). The other CPU takes on the role of the following CPU (backup CPU). The
assigned role of the CPUs can change during operation. Synchronization of all relevant data
between primary CPU and backup CPU ensures fast switching between CPUs in the event
of a primary CPU failure. If the primary CPU fails, the backup CPU retains control of the
process as the new primary CPU at the point of interruption.
The redundancy connections are the PROFINET ring with MRP. The CPUs are
synchronized via a PROFINET ring.
Additional information
You can find a detailed description of the operation and design of the CPUs in the system
manual Redundant System S7-1500R/H
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109754833).

PROFINET IO
PROFINET IO interface
(X1 P1 R and X1 P2 R)
The CPU has an X1 interface with two ports (X1 P1 R
and X1 P2 R).
•The PROFINET IO interface X1 (default P1 R) is
used to set up the PROFINET ring with the two
CPUs and the IO devices.
•The PROFINET IO interface X1 (default P2 R) is
used to make the connection between the two R-
CPUs in the PROFINET ring.
In the PROFINET ring, the synchronization frames
between the CPUs are transmitted via the following
connections:
–The direct connection (X1 P2 R)
–The indirect connection (X1 P1 R) via the IO de-
vices
•The interface supports PROFINET IO RT (Real-
Time) and PROFINET basic functionality.
Basic PROFINET functionality comprises:
–HMI communication
–Communication with the configuration system
–Communication with a higher-level network
(backbone, router, Internet)
–Communication with another machine or auto-
mation cell

PROFINET interface
(X2 P1)
The CPU has an X2 interface with one port (X2 P1).
The interface supports PROFINET basic functionality.
Operation of the CPUs as
IO controllers
IO controller:
As IO controllers the CPUs address the following con-
figured IO devices:
•IO devices with S2 system redundancy within the
PROFINET ring
•IO devices with S2 system redundancy that are
decoupled from the PROFINET ring via a switch
•Standard IO devices (switched S1 devices)
Standard IO devices usually do not support H-
Sync Forwarding.
To avoid a cycle time increase when the
PROFINET ring is interrupted, integrate the stand-
ard IO devices behind a switch and not in the
PROFINET ring.

H-Sync Forwarding
H-Sync Forwarding enables a PROFINET device with MRP to forward synchronization data
(synchronization frames) of an S7-1500R redundant system only within the PROFINET ring.
In addition, H-Sync Forwarding forwards the synchronization data even during
reconfiguration of the PROFINET ring. H-Sync Forwarding avoids a cycle time increase if the
PROFINET ring is interrupted.
Note
Support of H-Sync Forwarding
The technical specifications typically state whether a PROFINET device supports
H
-Sync Forwarding.
The
GSD file will also indicate whether the device supports H-Sync Forwarding. The device
supports H
-Sync Forwarding when the "ApplicationClass" attribute contains the
"HighAvailability" token.
You will find more information on H-Sync Forwarding in the system manual S7-1500R/H

MRP (Media Redundancy
Protocol)
The Media Redundancy Protocol enables the config-
uration of redundant networks. Redundant transmis-
sion links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative
communication path is made available if a transmis-
sion link fails.
Within the PROFINET ring, the R-CPUs assume the
role of the MRP Manager following appropriate pro-
ject configuration and all other devices in the ring
assume the role of the MRP clients.
PROFIenergy PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface
for switching off consumers centrally and with full
coordination during pause times regardless of the
manufacturer or device type. Through this, the pro-
cess should only be provided with the energy that is
absolutely required. Most of the energy is saved by
the process. The PROFINET device itself only con-
tributes a few watts to the savings potential.

Access protection You can use authorization levels to assign separate
rights to different user groups.
Integrity protection The CPUs dispose of integrity protection by default.
Integrity protection identifies possible manipulations
of engineering data on the SIMATIC memory card or
during data transfer between STEP 7 and the CPUs.
Integrity protection also checks the communication
from a SIMATIC HMI system to the CPUs for possi-
ble manipulations of engineering data.
If integrity protection identifies the manipulation of
engineering data, the user receives a corresponding
message.
Password provider As an alternative to manual password entry, you can
link a password provider to STEP 7. A password
provider offers the following advantages:
•Convenient handling of passwords. STEP 7 au-
tomatically imports the password for the blocks.
This saves you time.
•Optimum block protection because the users do
not know the password itself.
