5.2

Redundancy Options

If required, you can operate the 52/XR MADI Router in several redundant ways.

Power Supply Redundancy

An  52/XR  MADI  Router  can  be  equipped  with  a  redundant  power  supply  pack.  Thus,  the  internal  and  external  electric
power supplies of the device becomes more reliable. 

Tip

We recommend to feed power supplies from  different  mains  supply  systems  to
prevent power failures.

The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two power supplies of the type 52-5048 (48V/200W).

Sync Module Redundancy

An  52/XR  MADI  Router  can  be  equipped  with  a  redundant  synchronisation  module.  Thus,  the  device  becomes  more
reliable concerning the internal and external synchronisation. 

The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two synchronisation modules of the type 52-6710.

More information on the synchronisation and its configuration can be found in the section Synchronisation.

Controller Redundancy

An  52/XR  MADI  Router  can  be  equipped  with  a  redundant  communication  controller  module.  Thus,  the  device  becomes
more  reliable  concerning  the  communication  in  the  configuration  and  controlling  network  (communication  with
configuration PCs).

The 52/XR MADI Router can optional be operated with two communication controller modules of the type 52-6850.

Please see the section Controller Redundancy for more information.

Router / DSP Kernel Redundancy

An 52/XR MADI Router can be equipped with a redundant Router / DSP Kernel module. Thus, the device becomes more
reliable concerning the routing and DSP processing. 

The following Router / DSP Kernel redundancy options are possible for the 52/XR MADI Router:

Router / DSP Kernel module of the type 
52-6440

Router / DSP Kernel module of the type 
52-6442

3 HU frame

two modules

two modules

6 HU frame

two modules (if only the upper backplane is used) or
four modules (if the  upper  and the  lower  backplane
are equipped with redundancy)

two modules (if only the upper backplane is used)

If you want to use both backplanes of an 6 HU 52/
XR, you have to use modules of the type 52-6440.
