Failure of an IO device in the PROFINET ring
Introduction
The following failure scenario describes the effects of a defective IO device in the PROFINET
ring.

Sequence of events
1. An IO device in the PROFINET ring fails.
2. The PROFINET ring is interrupted.
3. The redundant system selects an alternative connection over the backup CPU. This allows
the redundant system to access all remaining IO devices in the PROFINET ring again.
4. The failure of the IO device has an impact on the process. If the failed inputs and outputs
have an important function in the system, their failure can have a critical impact on the
process.
