DLR Object 71 (Class 0x47)

Device Level Ring (DLR) is a layer 2 protocol allowing for redundancy in EtherNet/IP based ring topology networks. DLR

allows devices to be placed in a ring to reduce the need for switch hardware and cabling and allow for the detection and

recovery of faults in the ring. This option is a beacon based ring node implementation.
To set up a DLR network, configure a supervisor on the network prior to connecting and powering on all devices in the ring.

Establishing a ring without an active supervisor may cause a loss of communication to devices on the ring.
The supervisor precedence must be configured when setting up the supervisor. Typically, the default beacon rate is 400 ms to

allow for faster fault detection and recovery period and should be fast enough for devices to recover on the ring without losing

an I/O connection. The precedence value for the supervisor is used when more than one supervisor is present. When two

supervisors are on the network, the supervisor with the higher MAC address will become the supervisor and the other will

become a backup supervisor.
Yaskawa recommends that all devices in the ring be DLR capable. Add non-DLR devices to the ring through a DLR-capable

device, such as a 3-port ETAP.
Ensure that non-DLR devices placed in the ring meet the following requirements:
• Disable MAC address learning
• Do not use multicast filtering
• Preserve VLAN tags.
Make sure that all switches in the ring are DLR-aware. Switches in the ring that are not DLR-aware may cause undesired

behavior due to MAC address learning of the supervisor beacon packets being received on two different switch ports.
Be sure to set the RPI only as fast as needed to limit the network traffic. Yaskawa supports RPIs down to 10 ms. However, if

a slower level of control is acceptable, a slower RPI setting will reduce network traffic.
Yaskawa also recommends setting up and configuring all devices prior to completing the ring by leaving one cable

disconnected. Make the last connection after configuring the nodes and supervisor.

Note:

DLR is supported in option software versions VST800341 and later.
