System Redundancy
In the system redundancy concept 2 masters exist, each one of which performs its own
PROFIBUS cycle on 2 different lines. The redundant slave instances are connected to each
other with the corresponding connection lines:

System redundancy
This concept has the disadvantage that using non-redundant slaves necessarily require
Y–links. System redundancy is found with Siemens S7.
The Fuchs HD2-GTR-4PA gateway does not support system redundancy.
