Hi  
As part of the BCP, my customer plans to create an additional OPC UA Server (IGS) for the redundancy of the data coming from the machines in case a failure occurs in Server1 then Server2 is taking control.  
In the Tulip connector Machine Datasource of course, we can configure only a single server address endpoint to reach, so the customer is asking what Tulip can offer for a such redundancy case.

Tulip Support told me that there is no built-in mechanism for automatic failover to a secondary OPC UA server if the primary goes down, this will be considered a product request.

Please advise.

Many Thanks.
