Abstract
System () and method () for enabling peer-to-peer communications between controllers () of at least two control systems (). The system () include a first control system (FCS) having a first controller (FC) communicatively coupled to a first input/output (I/O) processing module () via a first I/O network (). The first I/O processing module is communicatively coupled to first automation equipment (). The second control system (SCS) includes a second controller (SC) communicatively coupled to the FC via the first I/O network. The first I/O network provides peer-to-peer communications between the FC and SC. The SC is configured to emulate the first I/O processing module. More particularly, the SC is configured to match an internal I/O configuration with an I/O configuration of the FC.
