Abstract

Adding EtherTRAK-2 modules to an Tool Kit project file can be added quicker than adding individually using the redundancy feature in the ST-IPm-8460/ST-IPm-6350/ST-IPm-2350/ST-IPm-1350/VT-IPm-1410/VT-IPm-2410. Enable the redundancy features in the RTU and use the add remote I/O link feature to quickly add modules.

Use Case: Quickly add EtherTRAK-2 configurations to an existing project file

Required Software

Sixnet I/O Tool Kit 5.0.103

Enable Redundancy Features and EtherTRAK-2 modules

1. Highlight or create a RTU configuration and go to Configure> Configure Station/Module > General tab. Check the Automatically configure a secondary controller and Enable built-in redundancy check boxes. The “Redundant Controller Options” tab will appear.

3. Click on the “Add Remote I/O” button. Select the EtherTRAK-2 module model, descriptive name, station number, and IP address. If you want the I/O Transfer to be automatically set-up using Sixnet UDR UDP/IP communication, then check the “Create a Remote I/O Link module and I/O Transfer” check box. If you just want the module to be added to the project file then uncheck that box.
   1.  
4. Repeat the process to add as many EtherTRAK-2 modules as needed.

Disable Redundancy Features
