Ring/Network Coupling - Hirschmann RS20 User Manual

Ring/Network Coupling

4 Ring/Network Coupling
Ring/Network Coupling allows the redundant coupling of redundant rings and
network segments. Ring/Network Coupling connects 2 rings/network
segments via 2 separate paths.
The ring/network coupling supports the coupling of a ring (HIPER-Ring, Fast
HIPER-Ring or MRP) to a second ring (also HIPER-Ring, Fast HIPER-Ring
or MRP) or to a network segment of any structure, when all the devices in the
coupled network are Hirschmann devices.
The ring/network coupling supports the following devices:

RS2-./.

RS2-16M
 RS20, RS30, RS40
 OCTOPUS

MICE (from rel. 3.0)
 PowerMICE
