Hi,
In our facility, the connection to DCS from our MarkVe system (a hybrid system between MarkV and MarkVie) is achieved by connecting the Serial cable from the local HMI (server) to the DCS Serial input card. This brings lots of issues due to non-reliability of the Server and when server is required to be rebooted (keep in mind we have redundancy for the servers but sometimes it is not working always as expected)
My question, is there any way we can shift this connectivity to DCS away from the PC similar to lots of systems which provide direct serial connectivity from the controller level. I understand that C core used to be responsible for such communication before with the old MarkV. Or maybe we can get this connectivity through the switch via UDH ? I don't want to sound non-sense I am not an expert in MarkVe , just throwing some food for thought to explore any possible way.
Cheers,
