Series 8 C300 Controller User's Guide 
Honeywell 
8. C300 Redundancy operation 
Controller redundancy specifications 
on the redundancy private path. The RDNSYNCSTATE
 
parameter is set to either PARTNERVISBL or
 
INCOMPATIBLE. 
This notification returns to normal if the
 
controller is reconfigured 
as redundant or if the partner is
 
removed from the redundancy 
link.  For example, this
 
notification is generated when the 
redundancy cable of a
 
loaded, non-redundant C300 is 
connected to another C300. This notification is also be 
generated when a partner Series 8 FIM module is added to a 
redundant IOTA when the existing Series 8 FIM is explicitly 
configured as nonredundant. 
 
Redundancy Link Status - RDNLINKFAILED 
The RDNLINKFAILED parameter is set ON when the redundancy cable is disconnected 
and/or partner is not running.  Once the redundancy cable is reconnected to a running 
partner, the RDNLINKFAILED parameter is set OFF. Note that this parameter reflects 
the physical status of the cable (connected vs. disconnected) and in no way indicates if 
the redundancy cable is connected to a compatible partner.  The 'Redundancy Link 
Inactive' and 'Redundancy Link Active' notifications are generated when the 
RDNLINKFAILED parameter is set ON and OFF, respectively.
