Change over using different communication

[Tyrone19]

Hi Community

Looking for some assistance on a telemetry system. I have a customer who wants a system to allow for fail over using different coms, for example if radio communication fails, change over to GSM. Does any one know how this could be achieved, can it be coded on the SCADAPack and how?

Thank you

You haven't mentioned if you're talking about SCADA connections or peer-to-peer.

If SCADA, then something like GeoSCADA will handle this for Advanced Drivers.

If peer-to-peer, then this is generally all up to you.

If using a SCADAPack and DNP3, then both the E-series and the x70 have functions that can modify the DNP3 route table.  This can allow you to swap out the IP address or Interface used for a particular DNP3 route (src->dst).

In this situation however you are responsible for determining when to do the change to the DNP3 route table.
