For many SCADA applications, the system needs
to be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
adJile™
provides a hot standby solution that allows a seamless
changeover between data servers if a server fails or
has to be shutdown for maintenance purposes. If required
triple or even quadruple redundancy can be provided, even with
relatively low cost hardware.
Software running on the client workstations
continuously monitors the
status of the data servers. Following a shutdown or changeover
the clients automatically re-connect to the new online data
server. The operator is generally unaware that this has
occurred although alarms can be configured so that the
operator knows that a changeover has occurred. All events
relating to the hot standby functionality are logged so that
engineering staff can be made aware of them. |
