About this Manual

The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual document contains the

information you require to select the suitable redundancy procedure and

configure it.

The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains the information you need to

start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup

operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.

The “Installation” user manual contains a device description, safety

instructions, a description of the display, and the other information that you

need to install the device.

The “Industry Protocols” user manual describes how the device is connected

by means of a communication protocol commonly used in the industry, such

as EtherNet/IP and PROFINET IO.

The “Graphical User Interface” reference manual contains detailed

information on using the Graphical User Interface to operate the individual

functions of the device.

The “Command Line Interface” reference manual contains detailed

information on using the Command Line Interface to operate the individual

functions of the device.

1.1 Overview of Redundancy

Topologies

To introduce redundancy onto layer 2 of a network, you first define which

network topology you require. Depending on the network topology selected,

you then choose from the redundancy protocols that can be used with this

network topology.

The following topologies are possible:

Network topology Possible redundancy

procedures

Comments

Tree structure

without loops

(cycle-free)

Only possible in

connection with

physical loops

Topology with 1

loop

RSTP

Ring Redundancy

Ring Redundancy procedures (HIPER-Ring, Fast

HIPER-Ring or MRP) provide shorter switching

times than RSTP.

Topology with 2

loops

RSTP

Ring Redundancy

Sub-Ring (RSR20,

RSR30, PowerMICE,

MACH 1000 and

MACH 4000)

Ring redundancy: a Basis-Ring with a Sub-Ring

or an MRP-Ring with an RSTP-Ring.

Topology with 3

non-nested loops

RSTP

Ring Redundancy

Sub-Ring (RSR20,

RSR30, PowerMICE,

MACH 1000 and

MACH 4000)

Ring coupling

The ring coupling provides particular support

when redundantly coupling a redundant ring to

another redundant ring, or to any structure that

only works with Hirschmann devices

Topology with

nested loops

RSTP

Sub-Ring (RSR20,

RSR30, PowerMICE,

MACH 1000 and

MACH 4000)

Ring coupling

Ring coupling only couples non-nested rings,

though these can couple local Sub-Rings.
