Note
As default, a role for automatic ring configuration is enabled. This causes cyclic frame
communication at a low transmission speed. If it is not required, disable this redundancy
function to avoid unnecessary network load.
Figure 5-13
Enable ring redundancy
Here, you can choose whether or not the module is part of a ring.
Redundancy Mode
Here, you can choose the redundancy method and the role of the module within a ring.
● Automatic Redundancy Detection
Select this setting to configure the redundant mode automatically.
In "Automatic Redundancy Detection" mode, the IE Switch X-200 automatically detects
whether or not there is a device with the role of HRP manager in the ring. If this is the
case, the device adopts the role of "HRP Client".
If no HRP manager is found, all devices with the "Automatic Redundancy Detection" or
"MRP Auto Manager (Auto)/Client" setting negotiate among themselves to establish
which device adopts the role of MRP manager. The other devices automatically set
themselves to "MRP Client" role.
