About This Event

Loss of communications is often assumed unlikely in redundant networks, yet failures can leave field devices at unintended states. This session reviews a real BPCS event in a Rockwell Automation system where a single network issue caused extended downtime and damage. Attendees will learn from Cargill why PRAs and HAZOPs must include loss of comms, how outputs and logic behave when signals are lost, and practical actions to configure fail states and prioritize corrections in high-risk systems.
