Application Manual
• Via an external redundancy box (RedBox) or a switch capable of connecting to
PRP and normal networks
• By connecting the node directly to LAN A or LAN B as SAN
• By connecting the node to the protection relay's interlink port
HSR
HSR applies the PRP principle of parallel operation to a single ring, treating the two
directions as two virtual LANs. For each frame sent, a node, DAN, sends two frames,
one over each port. Both frames circulate in opposite directions over the ring and each
node forwards the frames it receives, from one port to the other. When the originating
node receives a frame sent to itself, it discards that to avoid loops; therefore, no ring
protocol is needed. Individually attached nodes, SANs, such as laptops and printers,
must be attached through a "redundancy box" that acts as a ring element. For example,
a 615 or 620 series protection relay with HSR support can be used as a redundancy
box.

Secure communication

The protection relay supports secure communication for WHMI and file transfer
protocol. If the Secure Communication parameter is activated, protocols require TLS
based encryption method support from the clients. In this case WHMI must be
connected from a Web browser using the HTTPS protocol and in case of file transfer
the client must use FTPS.
As a factory default, Secure Communication is "ON".
