Diagnostic system blocks transmit detailed hardware health data straight to your local HMI screen.

FAQ

How does the hardware handle memory synchronization between primary and standby units?

The dedicated Ethernet HSBY port transfers active program data continuously. It ensures zero data loss during an automated hardware switchover event.

Can this module run on standard non-redundant backplanes?

No, this redundant processor requires a dual-slot compatible backplane layout to enable switchover features.

What happens if the primary Ethernet network connection breaks?

The standby processor assumes control smoothly within milliseconds to protect system operations from stopping.

Does the controller support online modification of application logic?

Yes, engineers change control logic safely while the process runs without disrupting active field machinery.

Which communication protocols run natively on the dual device ports?

The ports run Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP simultaneously to connect diverse field devices easily.

Selection & Buying Guide

Verify your total remote I/O drop count before purchasing the hardware.

This controller accommodates up to 31 active drops. Confirm that your program requirements fit within the 64MB memory limit.

Ensure you select matching firmware revisions for both the primary and standby modules.
