In WinCC v7.0 SP2, you can see the actual state of both redundant servers by leftclick on the systray icon. It's indicated by colors who is master, who is standby, who is down, etc... You can use system messages in alarm control to see the same but what about getting these states from somewhere else if alarm control can't be used and WinCC can't be integrated into Step7. It's quite unbelievable that there shouldn't be a way of monitoring the full redundant state of a server pair and their clients by default in WinCC. Documentation says there's no state of the redundant partner available cause Redundancy acts as if there's only one server. This info from manuals in for sure NOT true as the system tray icon (left click popup) shows all you need. Anyone managed to read this info or create it and visualised it on a pdl? |

Hello, you can use the tags @RM_MASTER (1 for master, 0 for standby) and @RM_MASTER_NAME (computer name of current master) K!ke |

These tags can be used, also in combination with some scripting to display status of who is master and actual state (master/standby) of the actual server. It won't tell you if for example the standby server is running or not. It also does not provided information about clients and which server they are connected to. To make it more clear, I would like to have the same info about redundancy state as available through system messages "REDRT" BUT without using this alarm messages and alam control. I'm quite sure it's possible, only no one seems prepared to share the details. I think Ikkezelf has developed something through scripting but so far no answer on that topic too :-( Example of systray info attached. |
