14 ControlLogix Redundancy System Overview
About the Main Parts of a
Redundant System
The ControlLogix redundancy system uses an identical pair of
ControlLogix chassis to keep a machine or process running if a
problem occurs with any hardware in one of the chassis.
This diagram illustrates the layout of a simple redundant setup.

Firmware Combinations
That Make Up a Redundant
System
These firmware combinations make up revisions 15.56 and 15.57 of
the ControlLogix redundancy system.
