If the availability of sensor and/or actuator loops needs to be enhanced, this application offers effective solutions. By incorporating redundancy of the IO-modules connected to single or redundant sensors/actuators, the availability of these loops will be significantly improved. Thanks to the monitoring performed by the "LRedIo" function blocks, even in the event of an IO-module or channel failure, the automation system will continue to operate, ensuring that the customer process remains unaffected.
