• Fast remote access
- Only the effective data are transferred from remote RipEX over the air, html page is downloaded
from the local unit.
• Bridge or Router
- RipEX is a device with native IP support which can be set as a standard bridge or router.
• Modbus, IEC101, DNP3, PR2000, Siemens 3964(R), Comli, RP570, C24, DF1, Profibus, SLIP,
Async Link, Cactus, ITT Flygt, RDS, UNI, Modbus TCP, IEC104, DNP3 TCP etc.
- Unique implementation of industrial protocols enables a secure addressed transmission of all
packets in all directions
• Three protocols on Radio channel
- Fully Transparent (Bridge)
- Flexible (Router) - for meshing networks providing unlimited footprint coverage without base stations
- Base driven (Router) - optimized for TCP/IP applications like IEC104 making them reliable and
stable even with a high number of RTUs.
• Backup routes
- When tested path between two RipEX IP addresses (even behind repeater or LAN) fails, automatic
switch-over to backup gateway behind Radio or Ethernet interfaces
- Unlimited number of prioritized backup gateways
- Instructional video http://www.racom.eu/ripex-backup
• VPN
- IPsec is a network protocol suite that authenticates and encrypts the packets of data sent over a
network.
- GRE is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside
virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network.
• Optimization
– 3× higher throughput
- Optimization method which joins short packets, compresses data, optimises both the traffic to the
link peer and the sharing of the radio channel capacity among the links.
• TCP proxy
- Eliminates a transfer of TCP overhead over Radio channel when TCP overhead run locally between
connected device and RipEX on LAN. I.e. only payload (user) data are transferred further as UDP
(over Radio channel)
- Higher RipEX network bandwidth, no more problems with TCP timeouts
- Instructional video http://www.racom.eu/ripex-tcp-proxy
• ARP proxy
- RipEX can simulate any IP address (it may reply to any ARP request)
- This feature is typically used when RTU addresses behind different RipEX units are within the
same IP subnet and RTUs do not provide routing capabilities (neither default GW)
- Instructional video http://www.racom.eu/ripex-arp-proxy
• VLAN & Subnets
- RipEX can simulate any IP address (it may reply to any ARP request)
- Unlimited number of virtual Ethernet interfaces (IP aliases) can be set
• Embedded diagnostic & NMS
- Real time and historical (20 periods, e.g. days) statistics and graphs for the unit and its neighbours.
