PRP/HSR in Substation Automation

PRP and HSR are two different protocols used in transformer stations to ensure the continuity and safety of data transmission. PRP, or Parallel Redundancy Protocol, is a protocol that creates redundancy for TCP/IP connections by sending data to two separate LANs from a single device. This way, if one LAN fails, the other LAN can …
