Solutions For Route Control Server - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Function Manual

The BATCH servers also communicate with OS servers over the terminal bus. The OS servers
are connected to the automation system over the plant bus.
Note
SIMATIC BATCH in "AS-based" operating mode
The BATCH servers are also connected to the plant bus if SIMATIC BATCH is operated "AS-
based". The redundant interface is implemented as on OS servers. You will find additional
information on this topic in section "Solutions for OS servers (Page 77)".

Solutions for Route Control server

Redundant Route Control servers
SIMATIC Route Control allows you to implement two Route Control servers with redundancy
functionality for fault-tolerant operation. This ensures that you can monitor and control your
route control at all times.
Functionality
The Route Control software automatically takes over the monitoring of the redundancy. The
redundant Route Control servers monitor each other in runtime.
If the active Route Control servers fails, the process can be controlled via the second Route
Control server following failover.
The Route Control clients automatically fail over to the functioning (active) Route Control
server.
When the failed Route Control server resumes normal service, it retrieves the current process
image from the automation system.
During the failure, the functioning Route Control server automatically receives the internal
Master ID. If the active master server failed, the master ID is passed from the failed Route
Control server to its Route Control partner server.
When the failed Route Control server becomes available again, it is given the standby ID. The
master ID remains with the Route Control partner server.
