Dear,
usually on what basis a redundant PLC is selected vs a non-redundant PLC, I am working in designing a automation system for water pumping station (WPS) and sewage pumping stations (SPS).
the water pumping station is huge around 250KW each pump, consisting of 3 pumps,
and sewage pumping stations are scattered all around the site for taking sewage and send it to a sewage treatment plant
on what basis, shall I select redundant PLC vs non-redundant PLC,
the selected PLC will be fault-tolerant.
both of the system are considered to be critical, I mean if WPS PLC fails, no water will reach the city and if SPS PLC fails, we will get sewage overflow.
I appreciate any advice on this issue.
