The distributed architecture of a SIXNET SCS (Scalable Control System) gives you great flexibility in creating system redundancy. By utilizing SIXNET IPm RTUs, SCS controllers, and I/O modules, you will be able to achieve a system that meets your specific redundancy requirements. The following topics provide an overview of the more common redundancy methods. Those methods are briefly described and can be used individually or in conjunction with each other to provide maximum protection against unexpected failure. Details on redundancy configuration and programming may be found in the SCS Redundancy Technical Note, TN646. SIXNET systems have a true distributed architecture (like a large DCS). Redundancy is easy to implement with this open access system.
