OB priority and runtime behavior
If you have assigned an OB to the event, the OB has the priority of the event. S7‑1500R/H
CPUs support the priorities 1 (lowest) to 26 (highest). The following items are essential to the
execution of an event:
• Call and execution of the assigned OB
• The update of the process image partition of the assigned OB
The user program processes the OBs exclusively on a priority basis. This means the program
processes the OB with the highest priority first when multiple OB requests occur at the same
time. If an event occurs that has a higher priority than the currently active OB, this OB is
interrupted*. The user program processes events of the same priority in order of occurrence.
*Exception: In the RUN-Redundant system state, a higher-priority OB 83 "Pull/plug modules"
does not interrupt the execution of an OB 82 "Diagnostic interrupt".
NOTE
Communication
Communication (for example test functions with the PG/PC) always operates with a priority of
15. To avoid unnecessarily prolonging the program runtime in the case of time-critical
applications, make sure that these OBs are not delayed or interrupted by communication.
Assign a priority > 15 for these OBs.

Disabling/enabling SYNCUP with the RH_CTRL instruction

Introduction
You use the "RH_CTRL" instruction to disable SYNCUP or to enable the execution of the
SYNCUP for the S7‑1500R/H redundant system. The disable applies:
• Until you cancel it with the "RH_CTRL" instruction or
• Until the S7‑1500R/H redundant system switches to the STOP system state
