About iRBX6GF
The iRBX6GF (“the Switch”) is an Intelligent 6 Port Ethernet switch compliant with IEC 61850 and IEEE
1613 applications, with DIN rail and panel mount options, and optimized for harsh environments. The
Switch provides redundant port for critical and high-availability networks. It supports both high-
availability seamless redundancy (HSR, IEC 62439-3 Clause 5 [3]) and parallel redundancy protocol (PRP,
IEC 62439-3 Clause 4 [3]).
Both of those standards provide redundant patch with no single point of failure and zero time to recover
in case of failure. Single network faults in the ring will not result in any frame loss. The network is fully
operational during maintenance, and any device can be disconnected and replaced without breaking
network connectivity.
The Switch can protect mission-critical applications from network interruptions or temporary
malfunctions with this fast recovery technology.
The iRBX6GF supports a wide range of operating temperature of -40
oC
to +85
oC
