SCADA Tutorial #16 | Redundancy | Multi-Redundant SCADA Architecture & Database Synchronization
đź“Ś In this part of the Wise SCADA training series, we explain the Redundancy (Multi-Redundant Operation) structure, which is critical for ensuring high availability and fault tolerance in industrial SCADA systems.
In this lesson, you will learn how to configure Primary and Partner (Slave) SCADA stations, establish redundant communication, and ensure seamless system operation even if one SCADA station becomes unavailable.
The training also covers database synchronization in redundant architectures, explaining how historical data is protected and kept consistent across multiple SCADA systems.
