Modern power automation and substation networks increasingly rely on HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) and PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) to provide highly available Ethernet communication.
But what happens when an industrial computer, server or data acquisition system needs to be added to an existing HSR or PRP infrastructure?
The Advantech ECU-P1522LPE provides a practical solution.
HSR and PRP directly inside the computer
The ECU-P1522LPE is a low-profile PCI Express communication card that adds HSR and PRP functionality according to IEC 62439-3 to a compatible industrial computer.
Instead of connecting the computer through an additional external redundancy device, the HSR/PRP interface can therefore be integrated directly into the computer.
