and networks based on PROFINET. The tool facilitates professional and predictive
dimensioning of your PROFINET installation as early as in the planning stage. In addition,
SINETPLAN supports you during network optimization and helps you to exploit network
resources optimally and to plan reserves. This helps to prevent problems in commissioning
or failures during productive operation even in advance of a planned operation. This
increases the availability of the production plant and helps improve operational safety.
The advantages at a glance
●Network optimization thanks to port-specific calculation of the network load
●Increased production availability thanks to online scan and verification of existing systems
●Transparency before commissioning through importing and simulation of existing STEP 7
projects
●Efficiency through securing existing investments in the long term and optimal exploitation
of resources
You can find SINETPLAN on the Internet (https://www.siemens.com/sinetplan).

CPU 1515R-2 PN (6ES7515-2RM00-0AB0)
Manual, 10/2018, A5E42009914-AA 11
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.
Reference
You can find a detailed description of the operation and design of the CPUs in the system
manual Redundant System S7-1500R/H

Integrated system diag-
nostics
The system automatically generates the messages for
the system diagnostics and outputs these messages
via a programming device/PC, HMI device or the inte-
grated display. System diagnostics information is also
available when the CPUs are in operating state STOP.
Function manual Diagnostics

om/WW/view/en/59192926)
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.

PROFINET IO
System redundancy S2 All IO devices are connected redundantly in the redun-
dant S7 1500R/H system. All IO devices assigned to
the system must therefore support system redundancy
S2.
If the role of the CPUs changes, the new primary CPU
takes over the PROFINET IO communication.

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 R-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.

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.
