Hirschmann Power Rail Switches
The new RSP family of switches with robust hardware and a powerful operating system, are able to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions. For the first time, the integration of new redundancy protocols allows uninterrupted data communication. These new techniques, PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy), are based on the international IEC 62439 standard and therefore guarantee future security and interoperability. Precision time synchronization in accordance with IEEE 1588v2, synchronizes sensors, drives, and measuring equipment. Gigabit ethernet provides for a fast connection to the backbone, while connections to terminal equipment use 100 BASE-TX – either alone or in combination with 100 BASE-FX.
RSPS
The functional scope of the new RSP-Smart from Hirschmann™ has been designed with one critical aspect in mind – maximum network availability. This Industrial Ethernet switch enables cost-effective solutions for smooth production processes – even in challenging environments such as transformer stations.
Applications
The RSP-Smart can be used anywhere where maximum network availability is demanded – even under extreme environmental conditions. This is because it enables uninterrupted data communication even in the event of a fault or failure.
In the electricity industry, for example, this switch guarantees a reliable power supply to customers, even in case of a serious lightning strike. And in tunnels where the RSP-Smart is installed, operators can be certain that smoke extraction systems will be reliably activated in the event of fire.
The RSP-Smart can be an important part of highly available and cost-effective solutions in many other application areas too, such as in mechanical engineering or hazardous environments.

RSPE
Thanks to a range of mediamodules, the managed industrialEthernet switches in the newRSPE family offer maximumflexibility, a future-proof networkdesign and best-possibleinvestment protection.
Applications
The RSPE switches are the devices of choice whenever future-proof solutions are required to deliver maximum network availability even under extreme environmental conditions.
Specially certified for a range of application scenarios, the switches guarantee highly available and cost-effective applications in the energy sector from power transmission and distribution through to power generation from renewable energy sources.
They can be used equally well in other branches of industry, such as transportation, road and rail traffic, cable cars, ports and airports.

RSPL
The RSPL-Lite switches offer all-round carefree package for the highest level of security while insuring increased productivity and profitability. For the first time, the integration of new redundancy protocols allows uninterrupted data communication.
Applications
The RSPL switches from Hirschmann™ are optimized for the type of data communication used in the electricity supply industry, because using Ethernet to link the field-level transformer stations of a power supply grid calls for special network equipment which – such as the RSPL switches from Hirschmann™ – can guarantee uninterrupted communication in the systems under even the harshest conditions. This is the only way of ensuring that end customers receive an uninterrupted power supply.
The RSPL switches from Hirschmann™ can also be used in many other areas. They offer optimum solutions wherever uninterrupted data communication is of the essence, for example in mechanical engineering, production or security applications.
