Redundancy

Relion 615/620 support 3 types of redundancy topologies:

– RSTP ring topology (requires managed switch, because there no settings for
RSTP on relay side)
– HSR ring (switch is not needs)
– PRP (two separate networks with two managed switches)
With “zero” switchover time (seamless)
– PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol)
IEC 62439-3 Clause 4
– HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy)
IEC 62439-3 Clause 5
PRP/HSR is a patent of ABB Corporate Research
ABB has assured the IEC to provide licenses throughout the world free of
charge or under reasonable terms

Send: the LRE sends each frame to send simultaneously over port A and port B (1), (2).
Forward: the switching logic resend frames from one port over the other port (3),(4) except own frames (5),(6)
Receive: the LRE receives both frames, keeps the first frame and discards the duplicate (7).
