ABOUT
T-1200 is an Ethernet based multichannel redundant switch used to increase the reliability of network connected systems.
T-1200 can be installed onto any new or existing Ethernet network and can incorporate any set of optic fibre, copper or wireless links into a single set of redundant network paths. It supports up to 32 channels of redundancy.
Use cases for T-1200 include networks for Safety Control Systems, networks where connections may be inconsistent or where wireless equipment may encouter obstructions.
TECHNOLOGY
T-1200 operates as a transparent Layer-2 Ethernet datapath — no routing or NAT is performed to any packets.
T-1200 is similar to the IEC 62439-3 PRP standard and requires no changes to the network equipment on the non-redundant side (SAN), however T-1200 has extensions that allow for more redundancy and diagnostics.
MULTICHANNEL REDUNDANCY
The system is compatible with equipment that implements the IEC 62439-3 PRP standard. However T-1200 implements it's own extension mode that allows up to 32 channels of redundancy.
REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS
The system continuously measures bandwith, latency and jitter across all redundant network paths. This information allows for insights into network paths that may degrads over time or to understand obstructions due to equipment movement.
INTEGRATION WITH CONTROL SYSTEMS OR SCADA
T-1200 provides all diagnostics data via Ethernet/IP or ModbusTCP connections. This allows for SCADA connections to activley monitor the system in real-time or a PLC control system to incorporate the status of a particular network into a control sequence.
SAFETY SYSTEMS (SIL/Pl)
T-1200 can provide network transport for Controllers or IO systems that are participating in a Safety Instrumented System (SIS or SRP/CS) up to any SIL level using a black channel communications architecture. In this arrangement the control equipment must have reliable & low latency network paths to operate without interruption and avoid operational downtime.
