Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)
Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) is a PROFINET specific ring protocol ensuring redundancy in the network, which
can significantly decrease network downtime. It is a token-based ring protocol with a master-slave hierarchy.
All the nodes in the PROFINET network part of the ring are connected using ring topology (that is, the last node is
connected directly to the first node). If, at any point, the connection between two nodes would break, the data will
flow the other way instead, guaranteeing that data can be sent to/from the IO Controller to the IO Device(s). The self-
healing time is approximately 200 ms.
The Media Redundancy Master (MRM) is responsible for checking the functional capability of the ring network, by
sending out cyclic tokens. The Media Redundancy Clients (MRC) basically work as switches that pass on the tokens.
The Intesis gateway supports acting as a Media Redundancy Client (MRC)
. It also supports propagating link
change to the Media Redundancy Master.
