Now you don’t have to worry about a controller hardware failure interrupting your process and causing costly downtime. Using a redundant controller, your process is automatically protected in case of a hardware failure.
If an active controller fails, the standby controller takes over automatically, providing uninterrupted control operation without initialization or user intervention. The switchover generates no disturbances to the field output signals, so your process continues to run without impact. There is no special cabling or configuration required to add redundancy, simply add a controller to your existing hardware.
Redundant controllers also support the upgrade of controller firmware and hardware online. You can therefore upgrade your MD Plus to an MQ or MX or your SD Plus to an SQ or SX controller online, with no configuration changes.

- Uninterrupted control operation. By installing redundant M-Series, S-Series and PK controllers, you can establish a “safety net” to protect your process from unexpected controller failures. The standby controller stands ready to maintain control and process uptime in the face of hardware failures.
Online Upgrades. Installing redundant DeltaV controllers enables you to perform online upgrades to your DeltaV system.
New firmware can be installed in the standby controller while online without affecting operation. Once upgraded, the standby is automatically configured and becomes available, allowing a switchover to the new firmware without disrupting the process. Once the switchover is complete, the original active controller can then be upgraded. In addition, an MQ controller can be upgraded online to an MX controller, and an
SQ controller can be upgraded online to an SX controller. This ensures your system is always ready to expand as your control strategy grows.
Automatic commissioning. The system automatically detects, commissions, and downloads a standby controller so you can safely replace a unit in the field. Redundancy can be added online by simply installing a new 2-wide backplane with a system power supply and MQ, MX, SQ, or SX controller on it.
