Network Topology With Redundancy (Prp) - Siemens SIMATIC NET CP 442-1 RNA Equipment Manual

• Open TCP/IP communication
Open TCP/IP communication provides a program interface for the transfer of connection-
oriented and connectionless services. The establishment and termination of connections is
initiated here only via the "dynamic" program interface.
STEP 7 provides a UDT for the connection parameter assignment as well as four FBs for
high-speed data exchange.
The CP supports communication via ISO-on-TCP connections for this interface.

Network topology with redundancy (PRP)

Redundant Network Access (RNA)
In Siemens Industry, Redundant Network Access (RNA) stands for devices and software that
support the redundancy protocol "Parallel Redundancy Protocol" (PRP). RNA allows the
connection of devices to redundant Ethernet network structures.
The product names of the RNA devices end with "RNA".
Some devices of the SCALANCE X-200RNA product line also support the redundancy protocol
"High-availability Seamless Redundancy" (HSR).
