Hot Standby Configuration

10.1

Overview

The Master Station is capable of Hot Standby Operation. Two identical processing units communicate with

each other via an Ethernet 10-BaseT connection. One processing unit is configured to be “Hot” while the

other unit is configured to be “Standby.”

10.2

Configuration

Each unit must be configured for TCP/IP communication. This is accomplished via the HMI interface on

the “Configure Ethernet Port” screen (Figure 10-1).

In addition, the “Hot Standby IP Address” must be configured with the other processing unit’s IP address.

For example, the Hot processing unit must have the Standby processing unit’s IP address in the “Hot

Standby IP Address” section, and the Standby processing unit must have the Hot processing unit’s IP

address in the “Hot Standby IP Address” section.

IP addresses are configured by touching the “Edit” button on the row of the address to be configured.

This will allow the user to set the octets of the IP address from the left to the right, one octet at a time.

Use the “Next” and “Back” buttons on each editing screen to navigate between screens.

Following the successful configuration of the IP address information for each unit, further configuration is

necessary.

The “Configure Hot Standby” screen of the HMI (Figure 10-2) allows the user to configure the startup

mode of each processing unit, displays the current state of each processing unit (i.e. Idle, Standby, or
