6.3 Handling of redundancy faults
Both Digital Gateway always supervise the redundancy conditions, detecting faults and
problems according following table:
Event
PLC or DCS connection interrupted for more
than 1 second to Primary Digital Gateway
Power loss or internal error of Primary Digi-
tal Gateway
Power loss of backup Digital Gateway
Problems in redundancy setup
Switchgear Bus at Primary Digital Gateway
disconnected
Table 8 Primary and Backup IP address setting
A change over from Primary to Backup Digital Gateway will only be performed
if there is no redundancy error.
Nevertheless, it is also possible that the DCS/PLC initiates a change over by
sending respective change over command. It needs to be ensured that the
switch over commands are configured in Digital Gateway mapping for the
respective fieldbus.
