The Control Engineering webcast is coming! Don’t miss it. “How to improve PLC system resiliency to reduce risk and downtime,” on Wednesday, July 21, at 11AM PT | 2PM ET.
For many years, high availability (HA), any technology or process enabling systems to run more reliably, was difficult to deploy on a large scale and prohibitively costly to use in smaller systems where PLCs are the norm. But that’s no longer true. Huge strides have been taken in creation of technologies that are easily implemented and maintained to make HA deployable at any scale. One of the primary strategies for delivering HA in smaller systems is to remove single points of failure using redundancy, a concept previously unheard of in PLC-based systems. To learn more about employing redundancy to increase resilience in a cost- and time-effective manner, sign up now for the Control Engineering webcast coming Wednesday July 21.
This recent article by Emerson’s Vibhoosh Gupta and Darrell Halterman entitled, “Reducing industrial risk and downtime with high availability components,” will give an excellent overview of the technologies making HA available and affordable at the machine level. Examining controller redundancy architectures and inner workings as well as detailing some of the unique PACSystems redundancy solutions, the article is an excellent precursor to the webinar.
As PLC-based systems are increasingly employed in critical applications, the need for HA expands exponentially. Take this opportunity to learn this effective approach. Register for this informative webinar today!
