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 “GUI” reference manual contains detailed information on using the

graphical 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, first clarify 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:

The Ring Redundancy Protocol MRP has particular properties to offer:

You have the option of coupling to MRP-Rings other ring structures that

work with RSTP (see on page 87 “Combining RSTP and MRP”).

Ring Redundancy

Ring Redundancy procedures (HIPER-Ring, Fast

HIPER-Ring or MRP) provide shorter switching

times than RSTP.

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
