SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit Features SNAP I/O Racks PAC Redundancy Manager provides quick and intuitive configuration and monitoring SNAP-RPSW SNAP-PAC-SRA Description The SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit, part number SNAP-PAC-ROK, provides you the tools you need to develop a control system with an increased level of reliability that can survive single points of failure and improve your system's mean time between failures (MTBF). In the unlikely event that a controller were to fail for whatever reason, a second identically configured controller takes over with almost no down time. This adds yet another layer of reliability to Opto 22's extremely reliable distributed intelligence architecture. The SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit includes a SNAP-PAC-SRA arbiter, a SNAP-RPSW redundant power switch, and the SNAP PAC Redundancy Option User's Guide, form 1831. The PAC Redundancy Manager is included with PAC Control Professional. To complete a redundant control system, you will also need the following items from Opto 22: * Two S-series PACs (identical part numbers) * One or more Opto 22 SNAP PAC Ethernet brain-based I/O units on the same Ethernet network as the controllers * PAC Project Professional 9.0 or newer installed on a PC connected to the control network * A PAC Control Professional strategy that makes use of special redundancy features such as checkpoint blocks and persistent/ redundant variables. Advantages * * * * * Either controller can switch its role in the redundancy scheme at any time. No special cables are required. Standard Cat 5 cable connects the controllers for synchronization. No special redundancy controllers are required, just standard S-series controllers. No special software is needed. Instead of requiring the entire control program to be synchronized, the developer tags specific data for redundancy and places checkpoint blocks at precise points in the logic where synchronization is to occur. This improves system performance and provides flexibility for the developer. The SNAP-RPSW redundancy power switch enables remote rebooting of the controllers for tasks such as resetting the controller and updating firmware. SNAP-PAC-SRA Arbiter The SNAP-PAC-SRA arbiter is a standalone processor that connects via dedicated RS-485 links to two identically configured SNAP PAC S-series controllers to control which controller is active and which is in backup mode. The arbiter does this based on status information returned by each controller in response to the arbiter's periodic heartbeat requests. LEDs on the arbiter indicate system health. Part Description SNAP-PAC-ROK SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit. Includes a redundancy arbitration processor (SNAP-PAC-SRA) and a redundant power switch (SNAP-RPSW).

DATA SHEET Part Numbers Form 1901-100331 When implemented in a redundant system, the Redundancy Option Kit provides a number of advantages, some of which are unique to Opto 22: * Either controller can play the role of the active controller or backup controller. No prior designation is required. * SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit Standalone arbiter monitors and controls the active and backup status of redundant controllers Redundancy power switch controlled by the arbiter enables remote rebooting of the controllers No other special equipment is required PAGE 1 SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit The arbiter is responsible for the following things: * Maintains the active/backup status of each controller * Manages synchronization of strategy and control data * Sends heartbeat requests at regular intervals to each controller in order to receive status information * Qualifies the backup controller, which means that the backup controller is ready to take over as the active controller * When a controller is disqualified, the arbiter tells the controller to reset itself * Using its supply-voltage output, the arbiter drives normally closed relays in the SNAP-RPSW, thus controlling the power supply of each controller SNAP-RPSW Redundant Power Switch The SNAP-RPSW redundant power switch is a relay device designed especially for use in an SNAP PAC redundant system. Connected to the SNAP-PAC-SRA arbiter and both controllers, this switch responds to the supply-voltage output from the arbiter, which allows it to reliably restart a controller in order to bring the controller back up or re-commission the controller after updating firmware. PAC Project Software The SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit is designed for use with SNAP PAC S-series programmable automation controllers. The controllers run a control program built with PAC ControlTM Professional, one component of PAC ProjectTM Professional software. PAC Project Professional is available for purchase and includes PAC Control Professional for developing control programs, PAC Display Professional for creating human-machine interfaces (HMIs), PAC Manager for configuring and maintaining SNAP PAC devices, OptoOPCServerTM for OPC connectivity, and OptoDataLinkTM for database communications. PAC Control Professional also provides the following tools for you to use with the Redundancy Option Kit: * The PAC Redundancy Manager enables you to configure the arbiter, monitor the devices in a redundant system, install firmware on the arbiter and the controllers, and more. (See picture below.) * A checkpoint block tool, which you use to insert a checkpoint block in your logic wherever you want synchronization to occur * The Persistent/Redundant variable option that designates whether a variable is replicated to the backup controller PAC Redundancy Manager Current system status DATA SHEET Form 1901-100331 Arbiter and controller management PAGE 2 Opto 22 * 43044 Business Park Drive * Temecula, CA 92590-3614 * www.opto22.com SALES 800-321-6786 * 951-695-3000 * FAX 951-695-3095 * sales@opto22.com * SUPPORT 800-835-6786 * 951-695-3080 * FAX 951-695-3017 * support@opto22.com (c) 2010 Opto 22.

PAGE 9 More About Opto 22 Products SNAP PAC Brains Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software products for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and data acquisition applications. SNAP PAC System Designed to simplify the typically complex process of understanding, selecting, buying, and applying an automation system, the SNAP PAC System consists of four integrated components: * SNAP PAC controllers * PAC ProjectTM Software Suite * SNAP PAC brains * SNAP I/OTM While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence for I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog, digital, and serial functions, including thermocouple linearization; PID loop control; and optional high-speed digital counting (up to 20 kHz), quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse generation and measurement. SNAP I/O I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment. Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per module, depending on the type of module and your needs. Analog, digital, serial, and special-purpose modules are all mixed on the same mounting rack and controlled by the same processor (SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller). Quality SNAP PAC Controllers Programmable automation controllers (PACs) are multifunctional, multidomain, modular controllers based on open standards and providing an integrated development environment. Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for many years. The latest models include the standalone SNAP PAC S-series and the rackmounted SNAP PAC R-series. Both handle a wide range of digital, analog, and serial functions and are equally suited to data collection, remote monitoring, process control, and discrete and hybrid manufacturing. SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) standards, so you can build or extend a system without the expense and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols. PAC Project Software Suite Opto 22's PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured and cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and database connectivity software to power your SNAP PAC System. These fully integrated software applications share a single tagname database, so the data points you configure in PAC ControlTM are immediately available for use in PAC DisplayTM, OptoOPCServerTM, and OptoDataLinkTM. Commands are in plain English; variables and I/O point names are fully descriptive. PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project Professional, available for separate purchase, adds OptoOPCServer, OptoDataLink, options for Ethernet link redundancy or segmented networking, and support for legacy Opto 22 serial misticTM I/O units. Founded in 1974 and with over 85 million devices sold, Opto 22 has established a worldwide reputation for highquality products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. Because we do no statistical testing and each part is tested twice before leaving our factory, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and optically isolated I/O modules for life.
