Configuration variant 2
The H-CPUs are each configured in a separate PROFINET ring 1 and 2. Switches are used to
extend PROFINET rings 1 and 2 by PROFINET rings 3 and 4. The extension of PROFINET rings 3
and 4 is connected without MRP interconnection. PROFINET rings 3 and 4 contain additional
R1 devices.
The problem with this configuration variant is that the switches in both connected MRP
domains must be MRP managers and then this role is no longer possible for the H-CPUs.
Result: The H-system does not know the state of the PROFINET rings on the backup CPU. The
synchronization terminates and the RUN-Redundant system state is not reached.
If the hardware configuration of an automation task exceeds the max. possible number of
devices in a PROFINET ring, then use MRP interconnection. With MRP interconnection, you are
not limited to the maximum number of 50 devices in a ring when configuring redundant
network topologies.
