Figure 21: RS-232 Switch panel
A pair of LEDs marked
CCU A
and
CCU B
indicate which of the D20 units is currently active.
If the hardware or software of the active unit fails, it is automatically switched offline and
serial connections to the field are transferred to the standby unit. A toggle switch on the
RS-232 switch panel can be used to switch the D20 devices between active and standby
modes.
Failover sequence
If the active D20 unit fails, the following actions occur:
1.
The standby D20 unit detects the failure through the lack of a heartbeat signal on the
ping cable or through a status change on the watchdog cable.
2.
The standby D20 unit attempts to pull the RS-232 switch panel to assume the active
state.
3.
The RS-232 switch panel transfers all serial field connections to the standby D20,
which then becomes the active D20.
Required components
To implement a redundant D20 system, you need the components: listed in Table 20.
Table 20: Redundant D20 system - required components
NOTE
Pins 4 on switch panel connectors J2 through J9 are tied together and to the panel’s power
supply. Any loading from field devices on these pins, loads the RS-232 panel power supply
and should be taken into consideration when sizing power supplies.
