Redundancy
D.5 Diagnostics
The redundant system will perform many diagnostic checks to verify the health and
connectivity of the system. In the event of a failure, it can take up to 30 seconds for the Gateway
to trade positions.
Figure D-7. Redundancy Status (Diagnostics>Advanced>Redundancy Status)
These diagnostics can also be mapped to Modbus registers or OPC tags. The following table
covers what diagnostics are included on the Redundancy Status page as well as how they can be
mapped as parameters in Modbus or OPC.
