Quick Start
ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup System
(Including ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup Cartridge, Cat. No.
1785-CHBM)
The ControlNet PLC-5 backup system uses a pair of standard PLC-5/40 or
PLC-5/80 ControlNet processors, with I/O remotely connected to the
processors via ControlNet.
Note: For the ControlNet PLC-5 processors to operate in backup mode,
each processor must have the new ControlNet Backup Cartridge (Cat. No.
1785-CHBM) inserted into its EEPROM memory module slot.
Using ControlNet, the PLC-5 processors communicate with each other and
with ControlNet remote I/O to create a PLC-5 backup system that provides
high availability of control applications, where it is essential for continuity
in the process to be high.
This manual provides you with the information you need to get up and
running with your ControlNet PLC-5 backup system. For more detailed
information, refer to your ControlNet PLC-5 Hot Backup System User
Manual (publication 1785-6.5.24) and the ControlNet PLC-5
Programmable Controllers User Manual, phase 1.5 (publication
1785.6.5.22).
