Scope
All firmware revisions Versions .74+ of OMNI 6000/OMNI 3000 Flow Computers
have the Peer-to-Peer Communications feature, which is available only on Serial
Port #2. This feature includes the capability of setting-up redundant flow
computer schemes.

Getting Customer Redundancy involves using two identically equipped flow computers and

the peer-to-peer link to the secondary flow computer. Should a failure of the
primary flow computer occur, the secondary flow computer is automatically
promoted to primary and assumes all control and measurement functions. In this
case the data flow on the peer-to-peer link reverses automatically and the new
master begins to transmit critical data to the slave, assuming that it is
functioning. Peer-to-peer communication errors can occur during the switch over
and are normal. They are cleared by pressing the [Ack] key on the flow
computer keypad or writing to point 1712 (acknowledge station alarms). If the
other flow computer is non-operational, the peer-to-peer communication errors
cannot be cleared.
