4.3.3  Redundant H51X Base Rack and I/O Level (24 VDC) 
To ensure increased availability, the user can individually structure the redundancy of the I/O 
processing modules, and thus of the I/O level. The 24 V power supply is performed for the H51X 
base rack by using redundant power supply units, see Figure 20. The I/O level is supplied 
redundantly depending on the application, such as shown in Figure 22. 
In the example below, one power supply unit (L1+) powers the extension racks with odd rack 
IDs while a redundant power supply unit (L2+) powers the racks with even IDs. In this example, 
the redundancy of the I/O level is portioned based on the rack IDs so that operation is ensured 
even if a power supply unit fails. 
  Connection to redundant power supply units, see Figure 20

For redundant power supply, HIMA recommends using the K 7212 power distribution 
module with decoupling diodes.
