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

CPU 1517H-3 PN (6ES7517-3HP00-0AB0)
Equipment Manual, 11/2019, A5E42011886-AB 13
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
role of the CPUs can change during operation. All relevant data is synchronized from the
primary CPU to the backup CPU via the fiber-optic cables of the redundancy connections.
Synchronization between the 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 consist of two fiber-optic cables, which directly connect the
CPUs via plug-in synchronization modules.

You can find a detailed description of the operation and design of the S7-1500H redundant
system in the system manual for Redundant System S7-1500R/H

Integrated trace function-
ality
Trace functionality supports you in troubleshooting
and/or optimizing the user program.
You record device tags and evaluate the recordings
with the trace and logic analyzer function. Tags are, for
example, drive parameters or system and user tags of
a CPU.
Trace and logic analyzer functions are suitable for
monitoring highly dynamic processes.
Note: Note that the S7-1500R/H redundant system
supports recording of measurements. However, saving
the measurements to the SIMATIC memory card is not
supported.

Additional information
RT (real time) RT prioritizes PROFINET IO frames over standard
frames. This ensures the required determinism in the
automation technology. In this process the data is
transferred via prioritized Ethernet frames.

MRP (Media Redundancy
Protocol)
The Media Redundancy Protocol enables the configu-
ration of redundant networks. Redundant transmission
links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative commu-
nication path is made available if a transmission link
fails.
Within the PROFINET ring, the H-CPUs assume the
role of the MRP Manager following appropriate project
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 coordi-
nation during pause times regardless of the manufac-
turer or device type. Through this, the process 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 contributes a few
watts to the savings potential.

tem Manual
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 possible
manipulations of engineering data.
If integrity protection identifies the manipulation of en-
gineering data, the user receives a corresponding mes-
sage.
Password provider As an alternative to manual password entry, you can
link a password provider to STEP 7. A password pro-
vider offers the following advantages:
•Convenient handling of passwords. STEP 7 auto-
matically imports the password for the blocks. This
saves you time.
•Optimum block protection because the users do not
know the password itself.
