Activating/deactivating the MRP client function

The Media Redundancy Protocol MRP can be used via the Ethernet interfaces of the
ILC 171 ETH 2TX and ILC 191 ETH 2TX Inline controllers. The controllers support the MRP
client function, which can be enabled or disabled via PC Worx as an option. This function is
disabled by default. If the function is enabled, it remains enabled after the supply voltage is
switched off and on. If the controllers have been reset to the delivery state, the MRP client
function will also be disabled again. In a ring with Media Redundancy Protocol, maximum
switch-over times of up to 200 ms can be expected.
To activate/deactivate the MRP client function, proceed as follows:
• Switch to the bus configuration workspace.
• Select the controller node (in the example: "ILC 171 ETH 2TX 192.168.0.2").
• Select the "Extended Settings" tab in the "Device Details" window.
• In the "Device Details" window, select the "MRP Client" setting under "Extended Set-
tings".
• Under "Settings", select "activated" to activate the MRP client function.
or
• Under "Settings", select "deactivated" to deactivate the MRP client function.
• Click "Send".
