Press Release Summary:
Model CS1D is configurable as redundant CPU only, or as duplex system with redundant power supply and communication modules. Should problem arise in primary CPU, it automatically switches control to second unit within 1 program scan, enabling continuous operation. Continuous operation is further enhanced by hot swappable I/O and specialty modules. Controller is suited for high reliability applications such as detention facilities, wastewater processing, and semiconductor fabs.
Original Press Release:
Omron's CS1D Duplex PLC Provides System Redundancy While Maintaining High Processing Speed
SCHAUMBURG, IL (June 25, 2003)-The new CS1D duplex programmable controller builds on the high speed and reliability of Omron's CS1 controller by adding redundancy, an essential capability for critical processes and systems. Should a problem arise in the primary CPU, the CS1D automatically switches control to the second unit within one program scan, enabling continuous operation. The down CPU can be changed out while operation continues. Redundant power supply and communication modules can be removed and replaced without interrupting control operation. Continuous operation is further enhanced by "hot swappable" I/O and specialty modules.
The CS1D is configurable as a redundant CPU only, or as a complete duplex system with redundant power supply and communication modules. Communications is automatically switched to the standby unit if a failure occurs in the primary module. The CS1D is compatible with the I/O units of the entire CS1 Series, and these units can be hot-swapped to maintain and restore the system without a costly shutdown.
The CS1D system is ideal for controlling systems that require high reliability in order to ensure vital services or avoid catastrophic financial losses, such as detention facilities, wastewater processing applications, and semiconductor fabs. It also offers valuable protection to systems that require extensive and costly restoration following a failure.
A basic CS1D system is currently available from stock at a system cost starting at $11,500.
