• PACiS OI Server Sons
• Klaxon

Klaxon action (immediate/defer) and

acknowledgement (auto/manu).

Klaxon can be executed on one SPC in

one C264 (horn).
If not configured => PACiS OI Server
PC uses the buzzer

Note : Relation “warns audibly” (gives an audible warning) to determine which

alarms are triggering the klaxon

Note 2 : The SPC must be direct execute, without dependency, without

interlock, with “on” and “off” orders possibility.

• Hot Redundancy in PACiS OI Server
 On PACiS 4.6.0, Hot redundancy principle :
• OI Client is connected to “preferred” OI Server. If server not available
it will immediately try connect to the other one.
Client A Client B Client C

Server 1 Server 2

SQL database SQL database

IEC 61850 Station Bus

•Both OI server perform DP acquisition simultaneously. There is a

consolidating mechanism insuring all data are the same on both.

Schneider Electric - CS&P – System Devices Configuration – F01 30

• Hot Redundancy in PACiS OI Server
• Each OI server is managing its own system DP. These are not
consolidating because each server is aware of status of the other one.

• Master OI can :
-acquire DP from IEC servers.
- be connected to OI Client.
- perform archives (Historian) and manage alarms.
-accept and manage controls from any OI Client (directly
connected to itself or connected to OI Slave).

• Slave OI can :
-acquire DP from IEC servers.
- be connected to OI Client.
- perform archives (Historian) and manage alarms.
-propagate controls from its OI Client (directly connected to
itself) to OI Master which will manage the controls.

• Hot Redundancy in PACiS OI Server
Both OI are connected on Ethernet and visible. OI Master shuts down then restarts

Schneider Electric - CS&P – System Devices Configuration – F01 32

• Hot Redundancy in PACiS OI Server
 On PACiS 4.6.0, Hot redundancy configuration :
1. Preferred server of OI Client is chosen using relation “Has for HMI
server”
2. Good Practice is to select at least 1 OI Client per OI Server.
3. Files “servers.dat” are automatically created by SCE during
generation. There is no need to manually install it after DB switch.
