MRP interconnection The MRP interconnection procedure is an extension of
MRP. MRP interconnection enables the redundant
coupling of 2 or more rings with MRP in PROFINET net
works.
MRP interconnection offers the following advantages:
• When setting up redundant network topologies,
there is no limitation to the maximum number of
devices of 50 devices in a ring.
• Monitoring of larger topologies with ring redund
ancy.
