 Redundant distributed configuration: For maximum reliability, the server
hardware can be doubled. (See Fig. 31.)
In this solution, the field connectivity is based on NK822x network units.

4.2 Extensibility
As market needs and technologies change, the MM8000 is continually evolving to
meet them. New functions are added, and existing ones are improved. New
versions will be made available through upgrade procedures.
Also, the MM8000 architecture is designed to give the following extensibility
capabilities:
 Extended configuration options are available for modifying configurations of
users and stations, as well as the behaviour and appearances of the user
interface.
 Configuration can be performed by customer if customer’s organisation
requires this.
 Openness for supporting new 3rd party field devices.
