Hello, we noticed the new 61850 driver doesn't have a failover setting. It's not typical that redundancy is handled at the device level (Real Time Automation Controllers, Data Concentrator Units) via alias/virtual IPs, etc. We're wondering if the fail-over feature will be added to the driver in the future?
