Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
Italian term or phrase: scambio di funzionamento
Talking about technological plants. Here's the sentence:

L'automatismo per la gestione dello scambio di funzionamento in caso di guasto viene poi gestito esternamente con i sistemi di controllo centralizzati del centro di calcolo.
I think I understand the meaning, but I don't know how to express it in English.
Thanks!
