Fault Protection and Status Monitoring
Fault Protection
The Fault Protection function sends a predefined setting to field devices to prevent incorrect actions when
the upstream connection is lost. The MGate 5105 supports a Fault Protection function when in agent mode.
You can configure the criteria to determine what to do when the write command is no longer received from
the master side. For example, when a communication cable comes loose accidentally, the most up-to-date
write command from the master side will not be received by the gateway. Hence, the slave device will use
the latest command from the gateway, which is now out of date, creating an inconsistency between the
master and slave devices. To avoid this problem, the MGate 5105 supports options to determine which
actions should be taken when the master’s side is disconnected from the gateway.
The gateway will write the same data to the slave device.
The gateway will write the zero values to the slave device.
A user-defined value will be written to the slave device.
