Design an Enhanced Redundancy System

Chapter 2

You can bridge these networks via a remote chassis:

ControlNet
DeviceNet
EtherNet/IP
Universal Remote I/O
Data Highway Plus

This table indicates what system components can be used with each network

connected to a redundant system.

(1) To avoid a brief loss of communication with the redundant chassis pair in the event of a switchover, we recommend

that you connect the HMI to the redundant chassis pair via a bridge from an EtherNet/IP network to a ControlNet
network. For more information see
