1.1. Functional Overview

The RuggedCom RS950G provides the ultimate in network reliability with Zero-Packet-Loss™
and zero failover time from any network fault. The RS950G supports IEC 62439, High Availability
Seamless Ring (HSR), which is the only Ethernet ring redundancy protocol that truly supporting
"bumpless" failover operation. The RS950G provides complete path redundancy by transmitting
duplicate packets on independent routes through the network. Receiving nodes eliminate any
redundant packets, resulting in a truly seamless failover mechanism not compromised by switch,
cable, or transient failure. The RS950G also provides inter-ring connectivity, allowing scalability
beyond a single ring and providing designers the freedom to create more complex networks.
The RS950G supports the IEEE 1588 v2 Precision Timing Protocol and provides 1µs accuracy
for demanding automation applications, such as IEC 61850-9-2 process bus and motion control.
IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 electric utility substation certifications guarantee that the RS950G
is robust enough to provide uninterrupted operation in the harshest of environments. The
RS950G delivers unprecedented reliability, immunity, and performance for the most mission-
critical automation networks where a single lost message can affect operation. The RS950G is
ideal for implementation in utility networks as part of the Smart Grid solution.
