🔄 How H-System Redundancy Works

Dual CPU Architecture

The S7-400H system uses two identical CPU 412-5H modules operating in parallel:

  • Primary CPU: Actively controls the process and updates outputs
  • Standby CPU: Mirrors primary CPU state, ready to take over instantly
  • Synchronization: Fiber optic sync modules ensure both CPUs maintain identical states
  • Automatic Failover: If primary CPU fails, standby becomes active within 100ms

System Components Required

  • 2× CPU 412-5H (6ES7412-1XJ07-0AB0) - this product
  • 2× Sync modules (6ES7960-1AA06-0XA0) - fiber optic synchronization
  • 2× Power supplies (redundant PS 407)
  • 2× UR2-H racks (6ES7400-2JA00-0AA0)
  • Redundant I/O modules (SM 421/422/431/432 with -5H suffix)

📊 H-System vs. Standard S7-400

Feature S7-400H (This CPU) Standard S7-400
Availability 99.99% (4 nines) 99.9% (3 nines)
Downtime/Year ~53 minutes ~8.8 hours
CPU Redundancy ✅ Dual CPUs with auto-failover ❌ Single CPU
Hot-Swap CPUs ✅ Yes (without process stop) ❌ No (requires shutdown)
I/O Redundancy ✅ Optional (with -5H I/O modules) ❌ Not supported
System Cost 💰💰💰💰 High (2× hardware) 💰💰 Standard
Programming Complexity ⭐⭐⭐ Moderate (H-specific blocks) ⭐⭐ Standard
Best For Mission-critical, 24/7 operations Standard automation, scheduled maintenance OK

💰 Return on Investment Analysis

Cost of Downtime (Example: Refinery)

  • Production Loss: $1,000,000/hour (typical refinery)
  • Standard S7-400 Downtime: 8.8 hours/year = $8.8M loss
  • S7-400H Downtime: 0.88 hours/year = $880K loss
  • Annual Savings: $7.92M

H-System Investment

  • Additional Hardware Cost: ~$50K (2× CPUs, sync modules, racks)
  • Payback Period: <3 days of avoided downtime
  • 10-Year ROI: $79.2M savings - $50K investment = 1,584% ROI

Conclusion: For high-value processes, H-system redundancy pays for itself in days, not years.

❓ FAQ

Q: Can I use this CPU in a standard (non-redundant) S7-400 system?
A: No, CPU 412-5H requires H-system configuration with dual CPUs and sync modules. For standard systems, use CPU 412-2 instead.

Q: What happens if one CPU fails?
A: The standby CPU automatically becomes active within 100ms. The process continues without interruption. Replace failed CPU during operation.

Q: Do I need redundant I/O modules?
A: Optional. Use standard I/O for cost savings, or -5H I/O modules for full redundancy including field wiring.

Q: Can I upgrade from standard S7-400 to H-system?
A: Yes, but requires significant hardware changes (dual racks, CPUs, sync modules). Consult Siemens for migration planning.

Q: What's the maximum distance between redundant racks?
A: Up to 10 km using fiber optic sync modules. Longer distances require special engineering.

Q: Is this CPU compatible with S7-1500 systems?
A: No, S7-400H and S7-1500 are separate platforms. For new projects, consider S7-1500R (redundant) as modern alternative.
