set for SIMPLEX mode. The parameters on this screen are Ctrl Strgy (Control Strategy), Fail Wait and SHARED I/O.
Ctrl Strgy
This parameter specifies which type of control strategy is selected for a redundancy system. The valid entry is three ASCII characters (A...Z). The only value that is supported at this time is Genius Hot Standby (GHS). If this parameter is set to any other value, the configuration will be considered valid, but any attempt to STORE the configuration will be rejected by the PLC. The default value is GHS.
Fail Wait
This parameter specifies the time one PLC will wait on one RCM link for the other PLC to respond before faulting that link. The Fail Wait range is 60 msec to 400 msec (measured in multiples of 10 msec) with the default value being 60 msec. The following table lists the two parameters described above.

Shared I/O
The Shared I/O values are the reference addresses and ranges for the I/O references included in the 20 KBytes of Input data (%I, %AI) and 28 KBytes of Output data (%Q, %AQ, %M, %R) which is shared between the Primary and the Secondary units in the Hot Standby CPU Redundancy control system. The Shared I/O data is transferred from the active CPU to the backup CPU each sweep (refer to Chapter 4, ºSynchronous Scanº, for details). The valid entries for these parameters are described in the following tables.
