BS EN IEC 62439-5:2018 is applicable to high-availability automation networks based on the
ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3 (IEEE 802.3) Ethernet technology.This part of the IEC 62439 series specifies a redundancy protocol that is based on the
duplication of the network, the redundancy protocol being executed within the end nodes, as
opposed to a redundancy protocol built in the switches. Fast error detection is provided by
two beacon nodes, the switchover decision is taken in every node individually. The crossnetwork
connection capability enables singly attached end nodes to be connected on either of
the two networks.Cross References:IEC 60050-191:1990IEEE 802-1D:1998ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-3:2014ISO/IEC TR 8802-1:2001IEC 62439-1:2010IEEE 802.1QISO/IEC 10164-1EN 62439-1IEC 61158EN 62439-3EN 62439-6EN 61158EN 62439-4EN 62439-2IEC 62439-3:2016ISO/IEC TR 8802-1:2001IEC 62439-4:2010IEC 62439-2:2016IEC 62439-6:2010Replaces BS EN 62439-5:2010 which remains currentAll current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
