*Controller Definitions including PLCs
Multiple 1757-PLX52s per chassis are NOT
supported. However, a non-redundant 1757-PLX52
can reside in the same chassis as a Logix 5550.
Non-Redundant:
•
1 1757-PLX52
•
1 Logix5550
•
1 PLC5/C or E
•
1 SLC (Ethernet only)
Redundant:
•
2 1757-PLX52s in a
Chassis Pair with 2
1757-SRMs
Table 7.J Server redundancy specifications
Server Switchover Time – Default
30-40 sec
Server Switchover Time – Fastest Configurable Time
10 sec
On Server switchover, the 1757-PLX52 performs an event recovery. This causes the controller to
report all current alarm conditions. The Server will report all current process alarms and events.
Database synchronization is performed as a background activity and is performed online without
affecting the operation of the Servers. Time to perform synchronization will depend on the system
configuration (e.g., database size, history, processor speed).
Table 7.K Server notification specifications
Maximum number of events (burst condition)
500 events
Maximum number of events/second (sustained)
40/sec
Maximum number of alarms/second (sustained)
20/sec
Note: Up to two events are also generated for every alarm, including one event for entering the
alarm condition and one for return to normal.
