Redundant Owner
Configuration Tags
The redundant owner configuration tags are identical to the existing 1756-OF8I
configuration.
Redundant Owner Input Tag Layout
We added eight Input tags to the existing Input data layout. The bit tag field,
PartnerBits
, increased from 2 bits to 10 bits to cover OwnerActive, Owner ID,
and Active/Claim/Ready status for the A and B controllers.
Redundant Owner Output Tag Layout
We added two Input tags in the Output data: a BOOL to reflect the COO bit
and another for the ROO bit.

Field

Usage
OwnerActive
BOOL
B4
The Output has a Controlling Owner
OwnerID
BOOL
B5
Which Owner is Active (Controlling):
0 = Owner A
1 = Owner B
OwnerAConnected
BOOL
B6
Owner A is Connected.
OwnerAClaim
BOOL
B7
Owner A is claiming Outputs (COO).
OwnerAReady
BOOL
B8
Owner A is Ready to claim Outputs (ROO).
OwnerBConnected
BOOL
B9
Owner B is Connected.
OwnerBClaim
BOOL
B10
Owner B is claiming Outputs (COO).
OwnerBReady
BOOL
B11
Owner B is Ready to claim Outputs (ROO).

Field
Data Type
Legal Values
Usage
OwnerClaim
BOOL
B0
0 = Not Requesting Ownership
1 = Claim Ownership
When set, indicates that the controller wants to Claim Ownership of the redundant
connection and have its outputs actively used.
•
If both Redundant Owners have COO set, the last originator application that transitioned
its COO flag from reset to set shall be the owner.
NOTE:
Only a Rx’d 0 to a 1 and not just the receipt of a new connection is considered such a
transition.
•
If neither Redundant Owner has COO set, then the highest ROO becomes Owner.
OwnerReady
BOOL
B1
0 = Not Ready to Own
1 = Ready to Own
Indicates the controller’s readiness for output ownership. A value of 1 indicates ready while
0 indicates the controller is not ready to own the outputs.
•
If neither controller has the COO bit set, the ROO determines the current owner.
•
If both controllers have COO=0 and ROO=0, then the outputs go to IDLE (Program
mode).
•
If both controllers have COO=0 and ROO=1, OwnerA will be active.
