Safety notes Read the safety notices Note the following safety notices. These relate to the entire working life of the device. You should also read the safety notices relating to handling in the individual sections, particularly in the sections "Installation" and "Connecting up". CAUTION To prevent injury, read the manual before use.
Description of the device Components of the product The following components are supplied with a synchronization module: ● Synchronization module ● Product information Unpacking and checking WARNING Do not use any parts that show evidence of damage If you use damaged parts, there is no guarantee that the device will function according to the specification.
Description of the device 4.2 Synchronization modules for S7–400H If you remove a synchronization module in redundant system mode, there is a loss of synchronization. The reserve CPU changes to ERROR-SEARCH mode for some minutes. If the new synchronization module is inserted and the redundant link is reestablished during this time, the reserve CPU switches to redundant system mode, otherwise it switches to STOP.

Description of the device 4.2 Synchronization modules for S7–400H Diagnostics behavior of the synchronization link S7-400H system V6 with a loaded "Spare part" V4.5 configuration If there is reduced performance of the redundancy link between the CPUs, the operating system of the CPU calls the OB 84. The "reduced performance of the redundancy link" event with configuration as V4.5 corresponds to the "Functional error of the network component"...

Description of the device 4.2 Synchronization modules for S7–400H Fiber-optic interfaces of unused modules Fiber-optic interfaces of unused modules must be blanked off during storage to protect the optical equipment. The plugs are in the synchronization module when shipped. NOTICE Reduced optical performance due to soiling Even small amounts of dirt in a fiber-optic interface adversely affect the quality of the signal transmission.
Assembling Safety notices for installation Safety notices When installing the device, keep to the safety notices listed below. Safety notices on use in hazardous areas General safety notices relating to protection against explosion WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD Replacing components may impair suitability for Class 1, Division 2 or Zone 2. WARNING When used in hazardous environments corresponding to Class I, Division 2 or Class I, Zone 2, the device must be installed in a cabinet or a suitable enclosure.
Assembling 5.2 Selecting fiber-optic cables Selecting fiber-optic cables Check or make allowance for the following conditions and situations when selecting a suitable fiber-optic cable: ● Required cable lengths ● Indoor or outdoor installation ● Any particular protection against mechanical stress required? ●...
Assembling 5.2 Selecting fiber-optic cables The following rules apply: ● Make sure of adequate strain relief on the modules if you use fiber-optic cables longer than 10 m. ● Keep to the specified environmental conditions of the fiber-optic cables used (bending radii, pressure, temperature...) ●...

Assembling 5.6 Installation of fiber-optic cables Points to observe when installing the fiber-optic cables for the S7-400H synchronization link Always route the two fiber-optic cables separately. This increases availability and protects the fiber-optic cables from potential double errors caused, for example, by interrupting both cables at the same time.
Page 24
Assembling 5.6 Installation of fiber-optic cables Open installation, wall breakthroughs, cable ducts: Note the points outlined below when you install fiber-optic cables: ● The fiber-optic cables may be installed in open locations, provided you can safely exclude any damage in those areas (vertical risers, connecting shafts, telecommunications switchboard rooms, etc.).
Connecting up Safety when connecting up Safety notices When connecting up the device, keep to the safety notices listed below. Safety notices on use in hazardous areas General safety notices relating to protection against explosion WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD Do not connect or disconnect cables to or from the device when a flammable or combustible atmosphere is present.
