Displaying the redundancy state

Overview
It is important to always have an overview of the redundancy state for diagnostics in plants
with redundant PCs. The redundancy state represents the status of the individual master and
standby computers. A display for the redundancy state can be configured in a process picture
for this.
● The status of the redundant server pair and the non-redundant server assigned to the OS
client are displayed on the OS clients.
● The server status is displayed on the OS servers.

You can determine the status of the access points in the process mode when the following
internal text tags are configured on a faceplate:
