Feb 12, 2013 #2 danw2 Industrial Oct 21, 2004 1,526 Emerson's Ovation is more correctly categorized as a DCS (distriubted control system), as opposed to a PLC. I can't answer specifics about redundancy, but DCS's are generally considered reliable with the amount of engineering involved in the system. Upvote 0 Downvote

Feb 24, 2013 #3 ScottyUK Electrical May 21, 2003 12,915 Ovation is indeed a DCS not a PLC. It can be reconfigured with redundant processors, comms, Historians, etc and it is possible to operate the I/O in a redundant confidence configuration. A quick call to Emerson would have aanswered this question... Upvote 0 Downvote
