Installation Notes

Install the redundant processor in a Modicon M580 rack with internal power supply. Configure processor A/B IDs using the dedicated A and B LEDs for redundant pair identification. Connect the Ethernet HSBY port between primary and standby processors to establish the hot standby link with 4096 kB data synchronization. Monitor PRIM, STBY, REMOTE RUN, and Hsby Diag LEDs for redundancy status. Configure RIO and DIO scanner services for remote I/O communication with X80 and Quantum racks. Enable cybersecurity features including firewall, IPSec, and HTTPS. For altitudes above 2000 meters, apply derating factors.
