Route control station multiple station system

Route Control station as multiple station system with client-server architecture
● A route control station multiple station system consists of route control clients (workstations)
that are supplied with data (project data, process values, archives, alarms and messages)
from a route control server via a terminal bus.
● There is only one route control project with one route control server in a PCS 7 system
(even when redundant).
● The route control server requires a connection to an OS to store messages.
● You can achieve high availability for the route control station by configuring a redundant
route control server. In terms of the number of servers in a PCS 7 project, a redundantly
configured route control server is counted as a single route control server.
