FlexLogix Backup System
FlexLogix backup on a DeviceNet network is a simple, low-cost, backup system targeted towards smaller applications that require fast switchovers from a primary to a secondary controller. FlexLogix backup is faster that a software-implemented switchover and lower cost than ControlLogix redundancy.
FlexLogix backup is suited for RTU (remote terminal unit) and power generation applications. It is also suited for small process applications where environmental control is critical.

Requires:
- RSLogix 5000 software must be version 10 or later and FlexLogix firmware must be revision 10 or later.
- The primary controller and the secondary controller each need their own 1788-DNBO scanner. The 178-DNBO firmware must be at revision 2.x or higher.
- The DeviceNet network should be set up with both the primary and secondary 1788-DNBO node addresses set to 0.
- All the I/O and operator interface devices that require backup must be on the DeviceNet network.
