REDUNDANT DPU OPERATION :

IN REDUNDANT OPERATION TWO DPUS ARE CONNECTED TO FORM A BACKUP PAIR.

ONE DPU IS DESIGNATED AS THE PRIMARY AND THE OTHER DPU , THE SECONDARY.

THE IP ADDRESS OF THE SECONDARY DPU IS ONE NUMBER GREATER THAN THE
ADDRESS OF THE PRIMARY DPU.

THE PRIMARY IS ALWAYS AN EVEN ADDRESS WHILE THE SECONDARY IS AN ODD

ADDRESS.

INFORMATION BETWEEN THE BACKUP PAIR IS EXCHANGED BY MEANS OF A 100MBPS

ETHERNET INTERFACE. A CAT5e ETHERNET CABLE IS USED TO CONNECT THE TWO
DPUS TOGETHER.

PROCESS CONTROL CAN BE TRANSFERRED AUTOMATICALLY(FAILOVER) OR

MANUALLY BETWEEN PRIMARY & SECONDARY.

AUTOMATIC FAILOVER CAN OCCUR FROM EITHER THE PRIMARY DPU TO THE
SECONDARY DPU OR FROM THE SECONDARY TO THE PRIMARY BASED ON THE
HEALTH OF BOTH.

ALSO DPU CAN BE COMMANDED TO TAKEOVER MANUALLY BY PRESSING THE

TAKEOVER BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL OF THE MODULE

PRACTICAL: 1.How to see the DPU in panel &

OPSTN .
2. How to change over manually.
3. No of function block contained.
4. How to see stand by status
5. where to see IP address.
