The Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is a versatile and high-speed Ethernet Layer-2 switch IP core capable of implementing the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) and the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) across a network. This core offers triple-speed operation (10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps), facilitating seamless communication for mission-critical systems.
FRS is uniquely designed to work in FPGA environments, providing from three to eight Ethernet ports to match various networking requirements. One key feature is its IEEE1588v2 PTP transparent clock support, which ensures precision timing and synchronization across the network for applications that cannot afford time discrepancies.
Its architecture supports HSR and PRP without the need for separate RedBox implementations, integrating redundancy directly into the networked devices. The switch supports full-duplex operation and wire-speed Ethernet packet forwarding, making it a top choice for applications demanding redundancy, such as smart grid and industrial automation.
