Controller redundancy with POWERLINK
Implementing high availability systems with standard components B&R is setting new standards with its redundancy solution for X20 control systems, a breakthrough that now allows the advantages of high [...] high availability to be enjoyed by smaller applications at much less cost. B&R's solution is based on standard X20 controllers that can be reconfigured at any time with features that reduce downtime using [...] configuring communication parameters or failure criteria. Switching in a matter of milliseconds With B&R's solution, one controller provides active control, while a second controller runs in the background
