The GA BlueLine² DUPLEX /LD is set up for high safety and availability. Two logical units, each with 18 I/O cards (incl. CPU), operate as one system with distributed dual redundancy. All components can be hot-swapped during operation.

The separation of the redundant DUPLEX unit into two independent racks simplifies the connection of field signals, improves climatic conditions and improves the reliability (keyword "common cause failure").

Housed in compact 19” racks, it is perfectly suited for mounting in a swing frame.
