Hirschmann presents new version of the HIPER Ring protocol

Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH, Neckartenzlingen, presents a new version of the HIPER Ring protocol. The Fast HIPER Ring guarantees a recovery time of less than 10 milliseconds. The ring structure allows both a cost optimized implementation of a redundant network as well as maintenance and network extension during operation. This makes Fast HIPER Ring especially suitable for complex applications such as a combined transmission of video, audio and data information. At present this protocol is used in the switches of the MACH 1000 and RSR product series. In time, all managed switches from Hirschmann will support Fast HIPER Ring.

With the Fast HIPER Ring protocol identically configured switches can be connected in a ring. To prevent a loop in the network, one switch acts as a redundancy manager. This manager sends test packets to the network at an interval of one millisecond. If three consecutive transmitted packets do not return, a standby connection is activated within 10 milliseconds.

The managed Fast/Gigabit Ethernet switches of the MACH 1000 and RSR series are designed for ambient conditions with electrostatic discharges, magnetic fields or strong vibrations. Whilst the MACH 1000 devices are designed for use in the switch cabinet, the RSR switches can be mounted on DIN rails or on the wall. Complete network solutions can be implemented for transformer stations in this way for example.
