13.24 Assigning An Engine To A Channel Using N+1 Redundancy (v2.0)

It is possible to assign the same engine to several channels as the redundant engine using the "N+1" setup. In such environments several master channels are sharing the same redundant engine (which helps to save costs). This implies that only one master engine can fail at a time.

  1. To assign an existing engine as a redundant engine to a layer you must activate the Redundancy checkbox under the Advanced tab first.
  2. After that choose Flexible (N+1).
  3. Select the channel and then activate the Layers & Engines tab.
  4. Click on Select engine… under the Redundant just:out Engine tab and choose the engine you would like to assign to this layer. Repeat this for each layer which has no engine assigned.

Because you selected "N+1" before you can assign the same just:out to several channels (using "N+1" redundancy) as the redundant engine.
