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.
