Even though the open architecture is applied, the provided industrial control system is guaranteed to control the plant in stabilized status, the most important goal for plant control, with high reliabilities.
In the Vnet/IP system, the latest compact FCS is available. The compact FCS is easily expanded up to 15 nodes.
And the FCS inherits the renowned reliability of the entire CENTUM series. Truly the most reliable FCS in the industry.
Since the processor cards perform control calculations, duplexes dual-redundant configuration of these cards is essential to prevent loss of control upon a hardware failure. In addition, two CPUs are paired in each processor card, thus the transient calculation errors can be detected. (This type of duplexes dual-redundant configuration is referred to as "Pair & Spare" configuration.)
