Redundancy concepts
Using a redundant PROFIBUS system makes it possible to considerably increase
the availability and thus the reliability in comparison with a single system. One
particular advantage is scalable redundancy that begins with a redundant
PROFIBUS transmission link, continues with a redundant master and ends with a
redundant PROFIBUS slave.
