In a redundant configuration, two 1715-IF16 modules are plugged into the baseplate side-by-side. The termination assembly maps the 16 field signals to both modules simultaneously. If one module fails or is removed for calibration, the second module continues to process the analog data without interruption. This \"Hot-Swap\" capability ensures that the control loop remains closed and the process stays online, significantly reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and Field Wiring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1715-TASIF16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a passive component that contains no active electronics, which contributes to its high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). It is installed onto the 1715 baseplate by aligning the heavy-duty connectors and securing it with the integrated mounting screws.

To ensure the highest level of noise immunity, shielded twisted-pair cabling is recommended, with the shields properly landed on the assembly’s grounding bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical FAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a Simplex and a Duplex termination assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1715-TASIF16\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(Simplex) provides one set of terminals for 16 field devices.
