<strong>Profibus</strong> <strong>DP</strong> Mk2 <strong>Option</strong> <strong>Card</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> <strong>Manual</strong><br />

4.4 Redundant Systems – RedCom Redundancy<br />

The RedCom Dual Channel <strong>Profibus</strong> <strong>DP</strong> (Mk2) <strong>Option</strong> <strong>Card</strong> version has two redundant<br />

communications channels. Like the Simple card, the RedCom card supports two types of redundant<br />

operation and the details are as described in <strong>Profibus</strong> Guideline 2.212 ‘Specification Slave<br />

redundancy’. The two modes are:<br />

SR – System Redundancy (One common slave address)<br />

FR – Flying Redundancy (Two slave addresses offset by 64)<br />

The Rotork <strong>Profibus</strong> <strong>DP</strong> (Mk2) RedCom Dual Channel <strong>Option</strong> <strong>Card</strong> obeys the <strong>Profibus</strong> REDCOM<br />

Specification for Redundant Communications. This includes 3 bytes of Extended Diagnostics for<br />

RedState. Not all PLC systems can accept these diagnostic messages.<br />

As with the Simple Redundant card, there are two basic considerations when looking at redundant<br />

systems, protection against the failure of the connecting cable and protection against failure of the<br />

device. Most systems consider cable protection to be the most important and this is termed ‘SR’ or<br />

System Redundancy. The alternate connection using only a single cable, but with two <strong>Profibus</strong><br />

connections is termed ‘FR’ or Flying Redundancy. With FR systems there are two <strong>Profibus</strong> interfaces<br />

on the slave, but only one slave so protection against failure of the <strong>Profibus</strong> interface is included. SR<br />

and FR are described in more detail in the previous section.<br />
