Using a Quantum IEC Hot Standby System

Swapping Addresses at Switchover

Modbus Port In a Hot Standby system, the Modbus ports on the Primary controller may have Swap Address at MEM addresses in the range of 1 to 119. This allows an offset of 128 for comparable

Switchover

ports on the Standby controller, with 247 the maximum number of addresses.

 

For example, if controller A is the Primary controller and its two Modbus ports have

 

addresses 1 and 2, then the default addresses for the comparable ports on Standby

 

controller B are 129 and 130. By default, this offset is maintained between port

 

addresses in the event of switchover. For example, if controller B becomes the

 

Primary controller as the result of switchover, its Modbus ports assume the

 

addresses of 1 and 2, and the comparable ports on controller A assume addresses

 

129 and 130.

 

The three check boxes allow you to change this default condition on any or all of the

 

Modbus ports on the two controllers in your Hot Standby system.

 

For example, if you deselect the parameter Modbus Port 1, then no offset is

 

maintained at switchover and after switchover the two ports have the same address.

 

Thus if controller A is the Primary controller and its Modbus port 1 address is 1, then

 

that port address remains 1 after a switchover occurs. Likewise, if controller B

 

becomes the Primary controller as a result of switchover, its Modbus port 1 address

 

is also 1.

 

 

 

Note: If you change the selections, the port addresses are not affected until a

 

switchover occurs.

Modbus Plus

 

 

In a Quantum Hot Standby system, the Modbus Plus port addresses on the Standby

Port Address

controller are offset by 32 from the comparable ports on the Primary controller. For

Swapping at

example, if controller A is the Primary controller and its Modbus Plus port has

Switchover

address 1, then the address for the corresponding port on Standby controller B is 33.

 

The numerical range for addresses for both ports is 1 through 64. Thus, if the port

 

on the Primary controller has address 50, then the address for the corresponding

 

port on the Standby can not be 82, so it will be 18 (that is, 50 minus 32).

 

These addresses are automatically swapped at switchover; you do not have the

 

option to change the offset or prevent the addresses from being swapped
