Setting up direct driver communications

2–11
Active Driver
The active driver can be Primary, Secondary, or None. By default,
the Primary driver is active.
To disable a channel temporarily without removing its
configuration, click None.
At runtime, users can switch between drivers if necessary. For
details, see “Switching communication drivers at runtime” on
page 2-11.
4. When you finish configuring channels, click OK.
Changing the channel configuration
To change the channel configuration once nodes have been
assigned—for example, to move a project from a computer using
DH+ to a computer using TCP/IP—create a new channel of the
correct type. Re–assign the channel number for each node, then delete
the original channel configuration.
Switching communication drivers at runtime
If the primary network fails at runtime, your system can switch to a
driver on a pre–defined secondary network. You can set up your
project so drivers switch automatically, or so operators manually
switch the drivers.
