Also, SoC-e  will present their HSR/PRP solutions that are essential in guaranteeing a secure and reliable electrical energy system in today’s challenging complex electrical networks.

SoC-e  and Relyum provide HSR, PRP and PTP solutions to companies of the Electric Sector that have integrated SoC-e IPs and modules in IEDs, Merging Units, RTUs and in many other equipment enabling time-aware high-availability secure and reliable Ethernet network implementations.

IEC 61850 is the backbone for the Smart Power Automation and Control Systems (PACs), developed to provide a zero-delay and no frame lost Ethernet based networking solution for critical control messages communicated within these systems (like GOOSE or SMV messages). IEC 61850 adopts IEC 62439-3 clauses 4 and 5 to provide bump-less Ethernet redundancy in PACs. IEC 62439-3 Clause 5 is named High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and clause 4, Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP). Both protocols offer zero switch-over delay time, no-frames lost in case of failure, and strong means for Network Supervision at Layer 2.
