Figure 46 - ControlLogix Enhanced Redundancy System

Redundancy requires no additional programming and is transparent to any
devices connected over an EtherNet/IP or ControlNet network.

Redundancy modules that are placed in each redundant chassis maintain the
communication between the redundant chassis.

Depending on how you organize your project, outputs can experience a change in
state (bump) during a switchover:

During the switchover, outputs that are controlled by the highest priority
task experience a bumpless switchover. For example, outputs do not revert
to a previous state.

Outputs in lower priority tasks can experience a change of state.
