New Hot-Swap And Redundant Solution For The Wincon-8347 / 8747
 
To meet the requirement of the tough industrial application, ICP DAS releases the New Hot-Swap and redundant solution for the Wincon-8347 / 8747. This redundant system has setup two ˇ§Active IPˇ¨ address points to the active W-8x47's LAN1 and LAN2 ports always. One or two or more PC / HMI / SCADA can communicate with this redundant system via one of the two given active IP. So the PC / HMI / SCADA can have access to the system easily without any notice, on which W-8x47 is currently active. Moreover, the new redundant system can intergarte with the RU-87P4 and RU-87P8 expansion unit plus the I-87K high-profile I/O cards to support the hot-swap application. If any I/O card is damaged, the maintenance person just takes one good-card with same model name to hot-swap the damaged one without stopping this redundant system.

The system contains two Wincon-8347 or two Wincon-8747, plus two NS-205 / NS-208 (Industrial Ethernet Switch), and at least one RU-87P4 or RU-87P8 expansion base plus at least one I-87K high-profile I/O card. One W-8x47 is named as ˇ¨Mainˇ¨ PAC, the other is called the ˇ§Backupˇ¨ PAC. The Main PAC takes the control in normal case and its LAN1 and LAN2 IP are automatically changed to the Active_IP1 and Active_IP2. If it is damaged, the Backup PAC will take the control and also change to the Active_IP1 and Active_IP2 automatically. So the PC / HMI don't care about which one is active, and just connects continously.
