Redundant Control Engine for Critical Process Applications
The AFS10D/AFG10D function as duplexed field control units within the CENTUM VP and CS 3000 DCS ecosystems . These units execute deterministic control logic while maintaining continuous process uptime through dual-redundant architectures . They interface directly with Remote I/O nodes via the Vnet/IP control network . This design effectively eliminates single points of failure in mission-critical industrial environments.
