Redundancy Function
Introduction
Introduction
Advantech's PAC redundancy solution is implemented in the APAX-6572R controller with ProConOS real time OS under WinCE OS environment. The hardware of the APAX-6572R
includes a power supply module, CPU module, and redundant database module with fiber optic communication port to synchronize the database and variables between two controllers
and a backplane. Fiber optic cable is an ideal communication media as it avoids communication noise and extends the connection distance between devices. The redundant controller
APAX-6572R is a hot standby redundant system with a fast switch-over time of less than 150ms when the primary controller fails and switches control functions to a secondary
controller. To ensure the switch-over time in control function, ProConOS implements trigger signal and database synchronization function which executes heart-beat checking and
two times database synchronization in the IEC program.
APAX-6572R Redundancy Hardware System Architecture
Advantech's redundant solution is used on the APAX-6572 PAC controller, it has two independent control platforms for the CPU module, power supply, I/O communication, upstream
Ethernet and redundant database module. The secondary controller takes over the control responsibility when primary controller fails or crashes.
At the beginning of primary controller, the real I/O data, internal register and I/O state table are transferred to the hot standby secondary controller across a high-speed fiber optic
communication link. In the event of a primary controller failure, the standby controller takes control of the system with up-to-date I/O and register status information for a bumpless,
controlled transfer with minimal process impact. Critical processes which can’t tolerate any disruption of control are assured a fast, smooth switch over.

APAX Redundancy System Features
A fast database synchronization module in each controller system improves
reliability by eliminating the need for an intermediate supervisor controller
Longer distance installation of two controllers through fiber optic cable using
the database synchronization module
System control transfers occur in one program execution to increase system
uptime
Integrity of the user programs are verified in both controllers to ensure high
security
High-speed fiber optic communication links between controllers minimizes
scan impact and improves productivity
Configurable Primary State Table transfers to the standby controller provides
up-to-date system integrity
Online primary-to-standby program transfer minimizes the amount of time that
the standby controller is out of service
Supports two Modbus/TCP Ethernet ports allowing client computer
communications to either controller with no custom communication drivers
IEC 61131-3 programming language support for high availability hot standby
systems
Fast switching time of less than 150ms from preliminary to secondary
controller
All output value maintains current value when switching-over period
Supports APAX local I/O series modules, up to 32 I/O modules
Independent I/O communication cable to I/O modules
Supports system self test and system failure functions for easy maintenance
client computer
Supports online debugging , analysis and repair
I/O hot swap replacement & installation
Synchronization I
1. Synchronization: Secondary CPU waits on Primary CPU
2. Check life signal
3. Primary CPU sends input data.
Secondary CPU receives data and writes to process image
Synchronization II
1. Synchronization: Secondary CPU waits on Primary CPU
2. Check life signal
3. Compare output data between Primary and Secondary CPU
Note:
The redundancy function will stop when:
1. Download or download change is executed
2. Debug mode reaches a breakpoint
3. One PAC stops
4. One PAC fails
