(2) Redundant system project
In a redundant system using redundant CPUs, one project is required to create
parameters and sequence programs and there is no need to create 2 projects for
each of the control and standby systems.
The network modules mounted to the control and standby systems can
communicate with each other with a single network parameter.

(control system)
System B
(standby system)

Parameters
Sequence programs, etc.
Project for system B
Parameters
Sequence programs, etc.
In a redundant system using Q4ARCPUs,
2 projects must be created for each of systems
A and B and written to them.
In a redundant system using redundant CPUs,
a project is created and written to both systems.

(3) Station type at startup of the redundant system (when the
redundant system is a control station)
At the time of startup of the redundant system, the network module installed with
the control system CPU is identified as a "control station," and the network
module installed with the standby system CPU is identified as a "normal station".
