Switchover Considerations 8-163<br />

The smart switch interface also includes a carrier-detect circuit to<br />

monitor the activity of the remote I/O link. The purpose of this circuit<br />

is to detect an idle remote I/O link before the secondary relays are<br />

closed. This guarantees that the former primary system was really<br />

disconnected from the link and the remote adapters have completed<br />

their response to the last poll from the primary scanner.<br />

In addition, in the event of an HSSL break, the carrier-detect circuit<br />

prevents the secondary system from taking control of the link along<br />

with the primary system. The figure below shows the block diagram<br />

of the remote I/O switch.<br />
