Bristol® ControlWave® PAC

ControlWave Redundancy

Redundant systems are offered for critical pro- cesses and harsh applications that require maxi- mum operational readiness and system availability. ControlWave Redundant Systems are designed to prevent a single point of failure from shutting down the system. ControlWave offers two levels of redun- dant operation in order to achieve the optimum level of reliability required by the application. Many ap- plications require the level of reliability provided by the cost effective ControlWave Redundant Process Control and Communication system. Other, even more critical applications may require the higher system availability provided by the ControlWave Re- dundant I/O system. These designs deliver redun- dant systems that provide high availability, reliability, and safety.
