Command Propagation
When an object is selected in a dual Safeguard system, the orders are issued to both
control branches. The selection process consumes up to three seconds depending on
the load situation. It is recommended to wait at least this amount of time before an
order is given to ensure that both control branches receive the order.

The dual controllers will not be synchronized if one of the controller is disconnected
from the operator workplace. In this case, the operator should to initiate a restart of
the disconnected controller to synchronize the dual controllers.
