I. INTRODUCTION
Automatic sorting system has been seen as the main
contributor for logistic sorting operation because of the
efficiency it has brought for material and product sorting
and distribution process. Nevertheless, with the
complexity improving in sorting system, more and more
sensors and actuator devices are equipped in the system.
This trend has great influence on the system reliability
because more devices cause more possible of failure.
Failure will effect the transaction in many large sorting
system such as airport baggage sorting, mail distributed
center and big manufactory center [1] [2]. High speed, low
error rate and automated operation are basic requirements
for these applications.
To improve the reliability a novel structure of
automatic sorting system is designed based on Double 2
vote 2 Redundancy (D2V2R) structure. The D2V2R
structure has been widely used in aircraft, railway, power
station, petroleum and chemical industrial. The D2V2R
structure can improve system reliability by using
redundant strategy and improve system safety by using 2
vote 2 method. In this paper, a novel realization of the
D2V2R is given basing on field bus communication.
Based on the structure the reliability is analyzed and
compared with traditional sorting system which using
simplex structure and duplex structure.
