GENERIC TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
Unless otherwise specified, this manual uses the following generic terms and abbreviations.
System A A system that is set as system A to distinguish two systems, which are connected with two tracking cables.
When the two systems start up at the same time, this system will be a control system. System switching does not
affect the system A/B setting.
System B A system that is set as system B to distinguish two systems, which are connected with two tracking cables.
When the two systems start up at the same time, this system will be a standby system. System switching does
not affect the system A/B setting.
Tracking cable An optical fiber cable used to connect two redundant function modules in a redundant system
