Redundancy:

In OEE systems, redundancy refers to having backups of critical components to ensure continuous and reliable service. This includes software, data, and communication redundancy. Software redundancy takes over during failures, while data redundancy prevents data loss. Communication redundancy provides alternative solutions for communication issues.

In redundant systems, there are primary and secondary servers. When a disruption occurs in the connection of the primary server, the secondary server automatically takes over to ensure uninterrupted operation of the system.

For redundant operation to function effectively, the software version and project files on both servers must be identical.

 Primary Server Setup

First, in the OEE system where the primary server is installed, click on "Redundancy" in the Tools tab. In the opened window, select the primary server. Then, enter the "Port" information for communication and confirm the settings.

    Secondary Server Setup

In the OEE system where the secondary server is installed, click on "Redundancy" in the Tools tab. In the opened window, select the secondary server and enter the "Port" information for communication. Then, enter the IP address of the primary server and specify the timeout duration for the secondary server to take over, and confirm the settings.
