For a detailed understanding, please consult our online help and all settings at Redundancy Settings and subordinate articles.
Redundancy is depending on the available runtime system components.

Synchronization timeout should not be 0. Otherwise, EtherCAT network fails when the connection is disconnected with the Primary cable and then reconnect. |
With EtherCAT cabling redundancy, the EtherCAT distributed clocks are not supported! |
For a EtherCAT Cable Redundancy, every PLC needs two ports:
In case of a such a sync fails, after f.e. an online change. This can be solved by increasing the value of BootupWaitTime in the runtime configuration file. |
It is possible, when Power Cycling or simply switching of a switch, a communication gap can occur when it is switched back on. The xErrorCount increases by about 50 when the switch is turned on again, and the LostFrameCounter increases by about 300.
Please note, there will always be a small interruption, as this is caused by the hardware.
