The VibroSmart® VSN010 real-time Ethernet switch is designed specifically for operation with VibroSmart modules connected in redundant network topologies, such as a redundant HSR (high-availability seamless redundancy) ring. The VSN010 switch acts as a communications gateway between networks of VibroSmart modules and standard Ethernet networks, which typically include the host computer running the VibroSight software.
The VSN010 module is a “redundancy box” that enables cost-effective redundant networks (HSR ring topology) of VibroSmart modules in applications where the cost of failure is high. It does this by acting as a gateway (communications bridge) between a redundant VibroSmart network and a standard Ethernet network, that is, it allows (doubly attached node implementing the HSR protocol) DANHs and SANs (singly attached nodes) to communicate.
