Control Strategies

here are two different Control Strategies for Enhanced Hot Standby CPU Redundancy: GHS and GDB.

GHS Control Strategy

he GHS control strategy has the following features:

Multiple single bus Genius I/O networks with redundant controller in each synchronized PLC Multiple local single bus Genius I/O networks

Redundant Genius I/O driven exclusively by the active unit

Primary Unit is always the Active Unit in synchronized system unless explicitly overridden by user or application; switchover from secondary active to primary active may not be bumpless in certain failure conditions

TOnly critical control data must be transferred from Active to Backup CPU Compatible with the release 4 based Hot Standby Redundancy Product (CPU780)

GDB Control Strategy

he GDB control strategy has the following features:

Multiple dual bus Genius I/O Networks with redundant controllers in each synchronized PLC Multiple single bus Genius I/O networks with redundant controller in each synchronized PLC Multiple local Genius I/O networks with single or dual buses or controllers

Active unit does not automatically switch to Primary on resynchronization

TBumpless switchover with either PLC active

Critical control data plus all redundant outputs must be transferred from Active to Backup
