If a section is down, the ring structure of a
X
HIPER-(HIGH PERFORMANCE REDUNDANCY) Ring with up to 50 de-
vices typically transforms back to a line structure within 80
ms
(setting:
standard/accelerated).
X
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).
Device requirements for using the HIPER-Ring function:
X
Within a HIPER-Ring, you can use any combination of the following
devices:

Note: Enabled Ring Redundancy methods on a device are mutually exclu-
sive at any one time. When changing to another Ring Redundancy method,
deactivate the function for the time being.
Note: The following usage of the term “ring manager” instead of “redundancy
manager” makes the function easier to understand.
