Redundancy where you need it

ProcessLogix can easily be expanded to include
redundancy when required, reducing the risk of a
process shutdown due to a single component failure.
Additional ProcessLogix features include:

• integrated detail displays, custom graphics,
alarms, history and reports
• integrated deterministic networking
• automatic peer-to-peer messaging
between controllers
• standard and user-definable application templates
Object-based graphics provide a powerful interface
