You can take the output of an AOUT block and connect it to a DCI real output block. You could fan it out to two such. Is that what you are asking?

While this interface is not transparently redundant, it will be fully redudant assuming the remote device has two ports. Buy two FBM224s, configure each to scan the PLC. Take the data from each and connect the DCI blocks to a SSEL. Configure the SSEL to handle two inputs, a selection (H or L), and to drop the signal that is bad. Voila! The output of the SSEL can feed an AIN or CIN if you wish to alarm it. You can do something similar with outputs. You can also control the scanning to turn off the "extra" interface until there is a failure. _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
