The XRS7000 series switches are cutting-edge integrated circuits designed to add High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) functionality to devices. These chips provide zero-loss redundancy and are crucial for applications in industrial automation and networking equipment where reliability is key. Supporting both HSR and PRP, these switches ensure that no single point of failure can interrupt Ethernet communication.
Leveraging the IEEE1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol, the XRS7000 series also facilitates precise time synchronization across networked devices. This capability not only enhances the reliability of Ethernet networks but also plays a pivotal role in applications requiring synchronized operations over multiple devices.
The series includes different models like the XRS7003 and XRS7004, offering various port configurations to suit specific network requirements. These devices support robust protocols, quality of service features, and are compatible with gigabit Ethernet, providing an optimal balance of performance and redundancy for modern networking demands.
