DS Agile H38x
1.3 DS Agile H38x
The DS Agile H38x is a range of standalone Ethernet Switches embedded with the Parallel
Redundancy Protocol (PRP according to IEC 62439-3) to provide redundancy of
communications. The product also supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) according to
IEEE 1588 v2 to provide highly accurate time synchronisation.
The range provides managed switches that are easy to install and operate. They are
designed to work in an electrical plant environment where standards such as IEC 61000-4 &
IEC 60255-5 apply.
The switch allows up to three devices (end node equipments) with 10Base-Tx or 100Base-
Tx electrical Ethernet interfaces to connect to a PRP network to which the interface is a
parallel 100Base-Fx fibre-optic Ethernet connection.
These are plug-and-play devices. They can run with the factory settings, but you should
configure them to your application. To do this you send commands via a terminal emulation
package on a connected personal computer or similar device.
