Material Composition FR4 high-speed PCB substrate 32-bit industrial processor chip Synchronization logic FPGA Flash memory Optocoupler isolation devices Gold-plated backplane edge fingers
Structural Features Standard Eurocard dimensions. Front panel LEDs separately indicate primary mode, standby mode and sync fault. Dedicated sync flat cable connector on the board edge. Equal-length differential sync traces ensure consistent signal delay. Metal shielded front panel.
Working Principle After power-up, the two paired processors complete primary/standby role election. The primary board runs active control logic, collecting I/O data and executing PID calculations. The standby board receives all variables, parameters and intermediate state data in real time via the high-speed sync link, running identical logic without driving field outputs. The fault monitor circuit continuously checks primary processor heartbeat; when primary failure is confirmed, the standby board immediately takes over control output, with no process fluctuation. Sync link disconnection triggers unplanned switchover alarm.
Installation Requirements Install both paired boards in corresponding primary and standby slots. Connect sync flat cable between the two boards, lock connector clips. Download identical firmware and user program to both boards. Confirm sync status LED shows normal lock after power-up. Perform a forced primary fault test during commissioning, verify bumpless switchover.
Usage Notes Paired boards must run identical firmware revision; mismatched versions prevent sync handshake. Loose sync cable triggers unplanned switchover and process fluctuation; inspect connectors during maintenance. Never disconnect sync cables during operation, this disables redundancy function. Perform quarterly forced switchover tests to confirm standby processor readiness.
