This manual explains redundancy procedures and configuration steps for Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches.
The Redundancy Configuration User Manual provides detailed information on selecting and setting up redundancy functions for Hirschmann Ethernet switches such as RS20, RS30, RS40, MS20, MS30, OCTOPUS, Power MICE, RSR20, RSR30, MACH 100, MACH 1000 and MACH 4000. It covers link aggregation, HIPER‑Ring, MRP‑Ring, Fast HIPER‑Ring, Sub‑Ring, Ring/Network coupling and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP).
Each chapter includes configuration examples, parameter tables and guidance on using the HiVision/Industrial HiVision network management software. The document also contains a FAQ section and contact information for technical support.
| HIPER‑Ring switching time | typically 80 ms, up to < 500 ms |
|---|---|
| Fast HIPER‑Ring switching time | < 10 ms with 5 devices |
A HIPER‑Ring typically switches in 80 ms and can take up to less than 500 ms depending on the number of devices.
Up to 79 devices are possible depending on topology and configuration; with default values, up to 39 devices are supported.
