GA DualCore-S

Automation system for control and safety applications up to SIL3

The GA DualCore-S system is intended for executing freely programmable safety-related and regular automation tasks. It can achieve safety integrity levels SIL1 to SIL3 for both shut-down logic and control applications. GA DualCore-S serves as an autonomous system or as a base unit in a distributed redundant architecture over Ethernet: DUPLEX or TMR.
