for three consecutive Genius I/O bus scans, the outputs are then controlled by the

Genius Bus Controller at serial bus address 30 (Genius Bus Controller in the Secondary

PLC).

If output data is not available from either bus address 31 or 30, the outputs go to their

configured default (OFF or hold last state). The PLC at serial bus address 31 always has

priority, therefore when the PLC with serial bus address 31 is On-line, it always has

control of the outputs.

The redundancy system configuration is shown in the following figure. This example

configuration shows only the redundancy system components. As described previously,

a system can also contain Local I/O which is not a part of the redundancy scheme.
