    Chapter 12 Redundant Systems Redundancy and Scan Time At the end of every program, the primary controller synchronizes and crossloads fresh data to the secondary controller. This keeps the secondary controller up-to- date and ready to take over. It also increases the scan time when compared to a nonredundant system.

    Chapter 13 SIL 2 Certification Typical SIL2 Configurations SIL2-certified ControlLogix systems can be used in non-redundancy or redundancy configurations. For the purposes of documentation, the various levels of availability that can be achieved by using various ControlLogix system configurations are referred to as fail-safe, high-availability, or fault-tolerant. This table lists each system configuration and the hardware that is part of the system’s safety loop.
  • Page 197: Fail-Safe Configuration

    SIL 2 Certification Chapter 13 Fail-safe Configuration In a fail-safe configuration, the hardware used in the safety loop is not redundant. Therefore, if a fault occurs anywhere in the SIL2 system, the system is programmed to fail to safe. The failure to safe is typically an emergency shutdown where all outputs are de- energized.
