Control system design commitment

Dec. 7, 2011

As we commit our control system design to include digital networks rather than hardwired I/O, we want to be sure about reliability and know where redundant network devices are most needed, even if we specify hardened devices for many of the components. We worry that adding unnecessary network complexity and cost will give us after-sales support headaches. We'd like some seasoned advice.
