3.5.4 System Redundancy
In a redundant system two controllers MSC800 are running simultaneously. One MSC is
parameterized as "Primary controller" and the other one as "Secondary controller".
This assignment is static and will never change during operation. The controller can be in
the operation mode ACTIVE or STANDBY. In normal operation mode the primary controller is
in ACTIVE mode and the secondary controller is in STANDBY mode.
The assignment of the reading results to the object is done by the controller which receives
the data of the connected sensors. The reading data is then transferred inside a XML for-
mat to the remote controller via CAN2 connection.
This mirroring of the data is done from the ACTIVE to the STANDBY controller and vice versa.
To ensure that both controllers will output the identical reading data, all relevant settings
have to be identical. Redundant operation is only possible in tracking mode of the system.
The primary controller checks periodically the system state and compares it with the sec-
ondary system state. If the readiness of the primary controller is less than the secondary,
the primary controller will change to mode STANDBY and the secondary controller will
change to mode ACTIVE.
