FG-200 refer to LED status indicators .
3.1.11 Adding a second FG-200 to form a redundant set of FG-200
For adding a second FG-200 to an already commissioned FG-200 that is operating in the role "Primary, no
backup", the following steps are required:
1. Set the IP configuration (IP address and subnet mask) of the second FG-200 using the same IP subnet
as the primary device (see Configuration ).
2. Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Make sure to connect each H1 link to
the same channel (CH 1 .. CH 4) on both FG-200s.
3. Connect the second FG-200 to the Ethernet switch or hub.
4. Connect both RDL interfaces as mentioned in Section FG-200 redundancy.
5. Connect the second FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply. Use different or redundant power supplies for
redundant FG-200s.
6. After turning on the power supply the boot process takes approx. 50 seconds.
7. The second FG-200 will take over the configuration data from the primary device and will start
operation in the role "secondary". For more details about proper operation as a secondary device see
also the LED status indicators .
Hint
Refer to Section FG-200 redundancy for more information on the redundancy concept.
