Network Redundancy with 2 ETHERNET Ports in Substation

../_images/5bfa047165c0c0c30a317f3418f233fb1
Control station with 2 paths to reach substation
1 Substation with 2 ETHERNET interfaces

Configuration at the control stations (PM591-2ETH, PM595-4ETH, PM5650-2ETH)

The substation’s IP addresses must be specified at the control stations (1). For this, in the network settings of the control station enter the IP addresses of the substation (in the example: 192.168.1.25 and 192.168.1.26). Option Enable redundant connection must be enabled.

Configuration at the substation (PM591-2ETH, PM595-4ETH, PM5650-2ETH)

Either the control station’s IP addresses or the general address 0.0.0.0 must be specified at the substation (2). For this, in the network settings of the substation enter the IP addresses of the control station (in the example: 192.168.1.11 and 0.0.0.0). Option Enable redundant connection must be disabled.

Note

If the general address 0.0.0.0 is used at the substation, no further control station on another substation can be configured on this controller. Equally, the substation connection must be activated for both interfaces.
