6.1 Ring Redundancy
The concept of the Ring Redundancy enables the construction of high-
availability, ring-shaped network structures.
If a section is down, the ring structure of a
HIPER-(HIGH PERFORMANCE REDUNDANCY) Ring with up to 50
devices typically transforms back to a line structure within 80 ms (possible
settings: standard/accelerated).
MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) Ring (IEC 62439) of up to 50 devices
typically transforms back to a line structure within 80 ms (adjustable to
max. 200 ms/500 ms).
With the aid of a device's Ring Manager (RM) function you can close both
ends of a backbone in a line-type configuration to form a redundant ring.
Within a HIPER-Ring, you can use any combination of the following
devices:
– RS2-./.
– RS2-16M
–RS2-4R
– RS20, RS30, RS40
–RSB20
– RSR20, RSR30
– OCTOPUS
–MICE
–MS20, MS30
–PowerMICE
– MACH 100
– MACH 1000
– MACH 3000
– MACH 4000
Within an MRP-Ring, you can use devices that support the MRP protocol
based on IEC62439.
Depending on the device model, the Ring Redundancy dialog allows you to:
Select one of the available Ring Redundancy versions, or change it.
Display an overview of the current Ring Redundancy configuration.
Create new Ring Redundancies.
Configure existing Ring Redundancies.
Enable/disable the Ring Manager function.
