6.5 Redundancy

In order to reduce the risk of communication failure between the TankMaster and the units connected to the TRL/2 fieldbus, two FCUs can be connected to run in parallel to provide automatic redundancy. The FCUs are connected with an extra cable allowing them to communicate. The inactive FCU constantly checks if the connected FCU is active. If the active FCU fails, it signals to the backup FCU to take over. Then the backup FCU immediately switches to an active state. It is also possible to use up to four TankMaster PC:s connected via different Group Buses.

Redundant FCU:s.

Two FCU:s can be connected in parallel. One of them is con- figured as the primary FCU and the other as backup. The pri- mary FCU is active. The backup FCU listens to the com- munication on the Field Bus and automatically takes over the communication without any action from the operator if the primary FCU fails.

Double FCU:s and workstations.

With two FCU:s and two Tank- Master workstations a com- plete redundancy from control room to RTG is achieved.
