Active_ID
Both interfaces are running with
IF1 in the primary role.
IF2 reads the active ID point and
IF1‟s heartbeat point. Both are
good, so IF2 discards data in its
queue older than time 0.5.
Event A: the active ID point on the
data source is changed from 1 to
2.
Event B: IF1 reads the active ID
point and IF2‟s heartbeat point.
IF2‟s heartbeat is good and the
active ID has changed to a 2, so
IF1 immediately transitions to
backup.
Event C: IF2 notices that the
active ID point on the data source
is 2 and immediately transitions to
primary. The data in its queue and
any new data are sent to
Historian.
Overlap data from time 0.5 to 3.
