Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key benefits of Achilles certification for industrial processors?
Achilles certification provides independent verification of cybersecurity capabilities. It ensures devices can withstand network attacks and maintain operation. This certification is particularly valuable for critical infrastructure applications.

How does hot standby redundancy differ from standard processor operation?
Hot standby systems maintain synchronized operation between primary and secondary processors. During failure, automatic switchover occurs without process interruption. Standard processors lack this continuous backup capability.

What factors determine the need for enhanced communication modules?
Network complexity, data volume, and protocol diversity determine communication needs. Enhanced modules support multiple protocols and provide better diagnostics for complex networks.
