A defining characteristic of the CA-10 is its fault-tolerant architecture, designed to maintain continuous operation even if certain hardware components fail. The controller includes multiple redundant systems to minimise downtime and ensure reliability in critical installations.
Key reliability features include:
- Dual redundant power supplies with automatic failover
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces
- Dual solid-state drives (SSD) in mirrored
- RAID configuration for project storage
- Redundant cooling fans and an oversized heat-sink cooling system
- Automatic system alerts and service notifications for installers
This architecture allows the controller to continue operating even if a power supply, network port, fan or storage drive fails.
