VCL-2724 PRP / HSR Switch is a simple, compact, easy-to-use solution designed to be used in critical Ethernet networks that cannot afford packet loss which may otherwise occur during ring-recovery, or switchover upon failure of either one of the Ethernet LANs. The VCL-2724 is designed to carry critical Ethernet data over two parallel LANs with zero packet loss.
The VCL-2724 PRP / HSR Switch may also be used to carry Ethernet data in over an HSR ring with absolutely no packet loss. VCL-2724 PRP / HSR Switch is the only presently available in the industry which ensures that the PRP / HSR Switch never itself becomes a point of failure, even in power down condition
Features:
- Ruggedized construction. IEC 61850-3 Compliant. Suitable for industrial applications.
- Available in compact DIN Rail and 19-inch Rack Mount with 1+1 power supply options.
- Total number of Ethernet Ports: 3
- One Interlink Port: Input Ethernet Port (Optical / Electrical - User Selectable).
- PRP/HSR #1: Protected Ethernet Port (Optical / Electrical - User Selectable).
- PRP/HSR #2: Protected Ethernet Port (Optical / Electrical - User Selectable).
- Compliant with IEC 62439-3 specifications.
- Zero recovery time and zero packet loss in case of the failure of either of the (parallel) transmission links. A single network fault will not result in any frame loss.
- Support IEEE-1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) transparent clock functionality.
- Network loop detection and removal.
- Cut-through and store-and-forward operation.
- Quality of Services (QoS) with priority tagging packet filtering and four priority queues per port.
- Port-based VLAN, VLAN tagging - Max number VLANs is 4094.
- Per port packet filtering.
- Support for MAC address-based authentication methods.
- Operating Modes: PRP, HSR and PRP+HSR.
- Maintenance: The network is fully operational even during maintenance as any intermediate network device (such as an Ethernet Switch) can be disconnected and replaced without breaking the network connectivity.
- Applications include critical network applications, smart-grid, electrical substation automation, industrial automation, critical automotive and military communication applications.
Failsafe* : In Electrical Ethernet Mode.
In-built Electrical and Optical Ethernet Interface Options. Provides both optical and electrical ethernet interface options on the “Protected side” as well as the “PRP sides”.
Ultra-Resilient and Failsafe* – Never itself becomes a point of failure in the electrical ethernet mode. The “protected interface” automatically reverts to and reconnects to the “primary PRP interface” even in a power down condition. It is the only such PRP solution available in the industry which ensures that the VCL-2724 PRP Switch, itself, never becomes a point of failure!!!
