Troubleshoot a Redundant System

5. Open RSLogix 5000 and go online with the primary controller in your

system.

6. Open the controller properties and verify that Redundancy Enabled is

checked.

If Redundancy Enabled is not selected, then take these actions:
Do one of the following:

Remove the controllers that are not Redundancy Enabled.
Enable the controller for redundancy and make other program

changes to accommodate redundancy.

After removing or correcting the Redundancy Enabled setting, attempt

to synchronize your redundant system again.

Controller Events

Occasionally, controller-related events may be logged in the RMCT Event Log.

In some cases, the anomalies are strictly status updates and are not indicative of an

anomaly that requires troubleshooting.

In other cases, the event description may indicate Program Fault Cleared, or a

similar description of a resolved anomaly. If these types of events are not followed

by state changes or switchovers, then they are not indicative of an anomaly that

requires additional troubleshooting.

If an event logged for a controller in the redundant system is followed by a state

change or switchover, use RSLogix 5000 software to go online with the controller

and determine the cause of the fault. For more information about using RSLogix

5000 software to troubleshoot a fault, see the section titled
