Redundant optical Modulebus from AC800M CPU?
Hi everyone,
I´m building a new controller system for temperature measurement in total of two turbines, each with an identical configuration in the process. For reliabilty reasons I´m considering a redundant PM858 configuration running both turbine applications "in one". The I/O-clusters consist of some local I/O:s in the CPU(s) cabinet and two branches with I/O:s, one each per turbine. All I/O:s should be connected via the (optical) Modulebus.
Setting up a redundant Modulebus for each I/O-branch I see no problem, I just use TU840 + TB840 but how do I make them redundant (single fault tolerant) at the CPU? If I connect one of the both line to each CPU they won´t back up for each other right? Single fault tolerance is uf essence here. In another installation I used Profibus and a redundant CI-module on the CEX-bus to accomplish exactly this but I can´t find any for Modulebus that makes the same sense to me....
Please see attached sketch. Please note that the number of I/O-clusters, modules etc are just examples.
Hope you can help.

TB840A will be connected to Primary CPU and TB840B will be connected to Secondary CPU, which itself form a redundant configuration.
If any one controller fail, still the IO cards are visible to the other controller. or
If any TB840 or module bus failure will force the CPU switchover. I believe this setup gives single fault tolerant solution with redundant CPU and TB840.
