Disaster Recovery through a ControlLogix Gateway
A ControlLogix Gateway is defined as a ControlLogix chassis with more than one communication module. The FactoryTalk AssetCentre agent would communicate with one module, then across the ControlLogix backplane, using the second module to access a different network of assets.
In general, because FactoryTalk AssetCentre agents use RSLinx Classic or FactoryTalk Linx, depending upon the asset) to communicate with assets, if the appropriate Linx application can browse to the asset, then AssetCentre will be capable of performing Disaster Recovery tasks upon it.
TIP:
ControlLogix Gateway communications add complexity to both Linx and the ControlLogix chassis itself. It is recommended that this configuration be used sparingly.
