8.1
Description
The goal of controller redundancy is to improve the availability of the controller to
perform its assigned control functions. This is performed by providing a pair of C300
Controllers (Primary and Backup) so a component failure in one controller switches the
handling of the assigned control functions to the other controller. In this redundant
arrangement, the active or primary controller is considered to have a redundant partner or
backup controller which is available to take over control functions of the primary
controller in the event of a switchover. This is considered a dual redundant system, which
is characterized by the following two main redundancy states.
Primary - Refers to the controller executing the assigned control functions.
Backup or Secondary - Refers to the controller in some state of readiness to assume
the responsibilities of the Primary.
