There are two alternatives for network communication redundancy available.
Normally, the duplicated submodules are distributed to separate carrier modules, an
arrangement which provides maximum availability. See Figure 1-48.
You can also mount duplicated MasterBus 300 communication submodules in a common carrier
module. This gives rise to a common point of failure, that is, reduced integrity and reduced
availability.
From a functional viewpoint, the redundant networks work in a hot stand-by implementation.
This means that the primary network has the communication responsibility. The secondary
network stands by to take over in case of a fault in the primary network. In the stand-by mode of
operation, basic messages for diagnostics are continuously sent and received.

The information given above for the network communication is also applicable to GCOM,
except for the communication submodule which for GCOM is called CI543.

The communication to a remote unit can be equipped with transmission media redundancy.
This includes:
• One communication interface submodule in the controller
• Two cables including duplicated modems
• One remote unit.
