time, thus fulfilling the stringent real-time requirements for the substation automation
horizontal communication and time synchronization.
PRP specifies that each device is connected in parallel to two local area networks. HSR
applies the PRP principle to rings and to the rings of rings to achieve cost-effective
redundancy. Thus, each device incorporates a switch element that forwards frames from
port to port. The HSR/PRP option is available for all 615 series protection relays.
However, RED615 supports this option only over fiber optics.
IEC 62439-3:2012 cancels and replaces the first edition published in
2010. These standard versions are also referred to as IEC 62439-3 Edition
1 and IEC 62439-3 Edition 2. The protection relay supports IEC
62439-3:2012 and it is not compatible with IEC 62439-3:2010.
PRP
Each PRP node, called a double attached node with PRP (DAN), is attached to two
independent LANs operated in parallel. These parallel networks in PRP are called LAN
A and LAN B. The networks are completely separated to ensure failure independence, and
they can have different topologies. Both networks operate in parallel, thus providing zero-
time recovery and continuous checking of redundancy to avoid communication failures.
Non-PRP nodes, called single attached nodes (SANs), are either attached to one network
only (and can therefore communicate only with DANs and SANs attached to the same
network), or are attached through a redundancy box, a device that behaves like a DAN.
