The Flexibilis Redundant Switch (FRS) is now available on Altera Cyclone V SoC. In the solution, HSR/PRP Supervision protocol is integrated on one ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor running Linux. The implementation includes a user interface that can be used to monitor the traffic and other nodes.
We will present this solution at the Embedded World Exhibition & Conference 26-28 February 2013 in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Flexibilis Redundant Switch is a triple-speed (10Mbps/100Mbps/1Gbps) Ethernet switch with HSR/PRP support, available from 3-port to 8-port. FRS also includes IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) transparent clock.

Flexibilis participated in a conference that Moxa, a Taipei-based industrial communications vendor, arranged in early November. The theme of the conference was “Enable a Converged Automation World” and it gathered professionals from smart grid, smart rail, mining and intelligent transportation sectors.
The conference discussed the latest industrial Ethernet and wireless communications solutions. Flexibilis presented there the IEEE1588 standard and its usage in power substation automation as well as Flexibilis’ solutions for IEEE1588, HSR and PRP.
See the press release for more information.

Flexibilis participated in International IEEE Symposium on Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement, Control and Communication (ISPCS 2012) that was arranged Sept 23th-28th in San Francisco, USA. The event consisted of IEEE1588-2008 plug-fest as well as technical program.
In the plug-fest Flexibilis tested the interoperability between their and other manufacturers’ solutions in time synchronization. This was the first time that IEEE1588 was tested in HSR network in such an event. The testing went very well for Flexibilis and using IEEE1588 in HSR network and substation automation seems very promising.
Flexibilis also took part in Cigre 2012 which is a technical exhibition arranged in Paris, France. It is the leading event for power system experts. Flexibilis presented their HSR/PRP Ethernet switch (FES-HSR) there as well as its interoperability with other manufacturers.
