BS EN 62439-2:2017

## Reliable Industrial Ethernet Communication with BS EN 62439-2:2017BS EN 62439-2:2017, titled 'Industrial communication networks - High availability automation networks - Part 2: Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)', is a critical standard for ensuring robust and redundant Ethernet communication in industrial automation and control systems.### Safeguard Industrial Ethernet NetworksThis British Standard specifies the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), a redundancy protocol designed to provide high network availability in industrial Ethernet networks. MRP enables seamless failover and recovery in the event of a single network component failure, minimizing downtime and maintaining critical operations.### Key Features and Benefits:- **Redundancy Protocols**: Defines the MRP protocol, which provides redundant network paths to ensure continuous communication even with a single point of failure.- **High Availability**: Maximizes uptime and resilience of industrial Ethernet networks, safeguarding mission-critical applications and processes.- **Seamless Failover**: Enables fast recovery and automatic reconfiguration when a network component fails, minimizing disruptions.- **Interoperability**: Ensures compatibility between devices and equipment from different manufacturers, promoting a standardized approach.- **Compliance**: Aligns with the latest IEC 62439-2:2016 standard, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for industrial Ethernet redundancy.### Technical Specifications:- **Redundancy Mechanism**: Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)- **Network Topology**: Ring topology- **Recovery Time**: Less than 10 ms for a single failure- **Supported Network Devices**: Switches, routers, and other Ethernet-enabled industrial equipment- **Applicable Industries**: Manufacturing, process automation, energy, transportation, and other industrial sectors### Ensure Reliable and Resilient Industrial Ethernet NetworksBS EN 62439-2:2017 is an essential standard for organizations seeking to implement robust and redundant Ethernet communication in their industrial automation and control systems. By adhering to this standard, you can safeguard your critical operations, minimize downtime, and maintain the highest levels of productivity and efficiency.Whether you're designing new industrial Ethernet networks or upgrading existing infrastructure, this standard provides a comprehensive framework to ensure reliable and resilient communication, empowering your business to stay ahead in a competitive industrial landscape.
