The addition of full-redundant back-up capabilities for the vendor’s Q Series Automation Platform is designed for industries in which downtime on production lines and shop floors is not an option.
Key features of the Q Series redundant control solution include: triple-level redundancy, with dual redundant processors, dual redundant networking and hot swap capability; automatic, user-defined synchronization of process data between redundant processors, insuring “bumperless” transfer of control; dual redundant network capability that allows deterministic performance up to 25Mbits/s between controllers and I/O; redundant power suppliers to prevent failure through power loss; redundant Ethernet communications to insure continuity of communications to SCADA systems after switchover; and, no special hardware requirements beyond redundant processors, reducing cost of ownership as standard Q Series parts can be used on both regular and redundant Q systems. Redundant CPUs are physically separate, allowing offline CPUs to be serviced without interrupting the process.
