For now, the only information it offers is this Boolean variable to indicate the global status, and in the event that the status of the variable is False, the next step would be to open the web interface of the Stratus Appliance, in order to examine in detail which component has failed. <\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Stratus OPC<\/strong> package consists of two components: the <strong>OPC UA Server and the OPC Proxy software.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 OPC UA server:<\/strong> Resides in the Management Appliance and is installed separately on each <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitek.es\/productos\/servidor-tolerante-fallos-ftserver\/\">ftServer<\/a> that you want to monitor. As mentioned above, for now it provides a Boolean variable that indicates whether the server status is Duplex\/Simplex, that is, if all elements are duplexed or if there is an element that has stopped working correctly (it is calculated from the status of the CPU, IOs, and internal sensors that are monitored once per minute). The last part is important, and that is that the fastest scanrate offered by this OPC Server is 1 minute, which is more than enough to monitor a server and consume minimal resources.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 OPC Proxy Software:<\/strong> This additional package is necessary in cases where <strong>HMIs use OPC DA.<\/strong> The software must be installed on the same system (must be Microsoft\u00ae Windows\u00ae) where the OPC DA client resides. It simply acts as a gateway between the <strong>OPCua and the OPCda channel<\/strong>, enabling a UA tunnel. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2036\" src=\"https:\/\/becolve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/UA-PROXY.png\" alt=\"UA PROXY\" width=\"795\" height=\"287\"><\/p>\n<p>As a proposed solution, the status of <strong>Ftserver \u201cOK\u201d or \u201cnot OK\u201d<\/strong>, can be integrated directly into the <strong>SCADA solution with an indicator<\/strong>, such as the one that can be seen in the following architecture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2037\" src=\"https:\/\/becolve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/automation-system.png\" alt=\"automation system\" width=\"795\" height=\"382\"><\/p>\n<p>We will continue to pay close attention to the advances in this <strong>OPC server<\/strong>, and in the path that Stratus is following towards total integration with the industry.
