The Flexibilis Redundant Card (FRC) is a PCIe Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to deliver seamless redundancy and highly accurate clock synchronization for Ethernet networks. This device integrates the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) standards within a compact form factor, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring uninterrupted communication.
Engineered for critical environments, the FRC supports seamless redundant communication over Ethernet and performs clock synchronization adhering to the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). It is built on the robust Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) core, offering 1Gb full-speed non-blocking performance. This integration guarantees a high level of reliability and network availability, essential for substation automation and similar use cases.
Moreover, the FRC card excelling in ease of use provides a straightforward path to implement advanced redundancy features in existing infrastructures. Equipped with four RJ45 ports, this NIC offers a flexible interface setup while supporting various management interfaces like GUI and NETCONF, simplifying its deployment and configuration processes.
