Optimizing Ethernet Communication with PRP and HSR Redundancy Protocols
Explore how to optimize Ethernet communication using Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocols. PRP is ideal for connecting a large number of IEDs with the same application, while HSR is preferred for smaller networks with a single ring topology. Discover the benefits and limitations of each protocol and how a mix of HSR and PRP can be used to address specific network requirements efficiently.

Optimize Ethernet Communication using PRP and HSR Redundancy Protocols
HSR or PRP or a mix of? Single ring HSR is preferred to connect a small amount of IEDs* HSR is using single ring topology thus no need of additional switches Plug & Play It is not possible to connect a laptop to this network but using a Red Box The communication bandwidth used is multiplied thus the number of IEDs is limited* Ring A Ring B Optional RedBox Double (or multiple) rings can not help as the bottleneck(s) would be in the rings interconnection (red/quad box) *: Around 20 for 100Mbit/s Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 2
HSR or PRP or a mix of? PRP is preferred to connect a big amount of IEDs sharing the same application and with no need of either physical network or sub application segregation* It is possible to directly connect a laptop to this network Plug & Play The communication bandwidth used is normal thus the number of IEDs is not limited PRP is usually using star topology thus additional switches are needed PRP PRP PRP Network 1 Network 2 PRP Switch PRP Switch *: during test for example Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 3
HSR or PRP or a mix of? Mix of single rings HSR and PRP is preferred to connect a big amount of IEDs not sharing the same applications or with a need of either network or sub application segregation Plug & Play It is possible to directly connect a laptop to the PRP network and communicate with all the IEDs 1. HSR Rings HSR is using ring topology thus no need of additional switches The amount of IED is small* thus no bandwidth issue 2. The amount of IEDs is not limited The amount of switches is optimized PRP network 3. Made with 2 Red Boxes per connection HSR/PRP interconnections *: Around 20 for 100Mbit/s Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 4

HSR or PRP or a mix of? Conclusion: There is no fit for all or Best solution For small amount of IEDs*: Single ring HSR is preferred For big amount of IEDs: If there is no need of either physical network or sub application segregation PRP is preferred If there is a need of either physical network or sub application segregation Mix of single rings HSR and PRP is preferred *: Around 20 for 100Mbit/s Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 7

IEC 62439 PRP & HSR (Parallel Redundancy Protocol & High-availability Seamless Redundancy)
PRP Parallel Redundancy Protocol
PRP (IEC 62439-3 Clause 4) Differences (with HSR) Allows Mixing single and double network attachment devices on the same LAN (not redundant and redundant devices) Thus connect laptops and workstations to the network with standard Ethernet adapters (not redundant devices) Uses off-the shelf components (network interfaces, controllers, switches ) HSR: Ethernet redundancy method DEPENDENT of the HSR Ethernet protocol DOES NOT Allow Mixing single and double network attachment devices on the same LAN (not redundant and redundant devices) Thus connect laptops and workstations to the network with standard Ethernet adapters must be done by RedBox Uses HSR components (network interfaces, controllers, switches ) Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 12

Each doubly attached node with PRP (=DANP) has an interface to each LAN. A DANP source sends a frame simultaneously on both LANs.attention A DANP destination receives in normal operation both frames and discards the duplicate. A singly attached destination only receives one. If a LAN fails, a DANP destination operates with the frames from the other LAN. Schneider Electric - Energy HSR & PRP Henri Grasset 22/08/2014 13

HSR Network Architecture PRP A frames PRP B frames standard frames An Ethernet network Ring(s) connecting each doubly attached node with HSR (=DANH). A DANH source sends a frame simultaneously on both ports and blocks the sent messages. All DANH receive in normal operation both frames and instantaneously forwards them. A DANH destination receives in normal operation both frames, forwards them and discards the duplicate. A singly attached destination only receives one via a RedBox.
