T+0
Both interfaces are running with IF1 in
the primary role.
T+2.5
IF2 reads the active ID point and IF1‟s
heartbeat point. Both are good so IF2
discards data in its queue older than
time 0.5.
T+2.8
Event A: IF1 shuts down gracefully,
setting the active ID point and its
heartbeat point to 0.
T+3.5
Event B: IF2 notices the active ID point
is 0 and immediately transitions to
primary, sending the data in its queue to
Historian.
Overlap data from time 0.5 to 2.8
Figure 2: Timing chart for when the primary interface gracefully shuts down and the backup
interface assumes the role of primary.
