is then available from the Backup MNS Digital Gateway which will become the Primary MNS
Digital Gateway after the switch over.
6.2. Redundancy Configuration
There are three options available to connect DCS or PLC to both MNS Digital Gateway
– One DCS / PLC Master connected to both MNS Digital Gateway.
– One DCS / PLC with at least redundant (two) master interfaces
– Redundant (two) DCS / PLC Master where each is connected to one MNS Digital Gate-
way (see example Figure 21)
6.2.1. Redundant MNS Digital Gateway connection
Both MNS Digital Gateway must be connected via a RS232 Null Modem cable (port Serial 1 on
both MNS Digital Gateway) to enable data synchronization and ensure correct operation
