Determining Series C I/O block redundancy

The IOM blocks represent instances of the I/O Module hardware that reside on the I/O Link

network. There is a specific IOM block for each I/O Module type supported in Experion.

The IOM block is used to:

l configure the network address (the IOMNUM) of the IOM device.

o If the IOM is configured to be redundant, you enter only one IOMNUM. In either case,

only one block is created which handles communication to and from both physical

IOMs.

o The hardware design uses a set of push-in IOMNUM identifiers to reduce the chance

of duplicate IOMNUMs on the same link.

o Each IOM block generates system events and alarms for soft failures, IOM

synchronization, and IOM switchover.

9.2 Switchover and Secondary readiness

A switchover describes the process where a Secondary Series C module assumes the Primary

state, and the Primary Series C module assumes the appropriate Secondary state of readiness,

depending upon what triggered the switchover. A switchover can be triggered immediately upon

the detection of a fault in the Primary or upon the receipt of an operator command.

The ability of a Secondary Series C module to take over the assigned control functions of the

Primary depends upon which one of the following readiness states reflects its current state.
