RELY-PCIe

Time-aware Redbox-DAN PCIe NIC

In a market that is undergoing the revolution of new powerful small sized equipment, RELY-SYNC-HSR/PRP-PCIe provides the most demanding networking features to any kind of PC, regardless of its size.

PCI Express (PCIe) is the most extended high-speed serial computer expansion bus. It is the de-facto standard for expansion boards in PC computers and it is gaining acceptance in Industrial PCs and even in SCADA systems.

RELY-SYNC-HSR/PRP-PCIe is a smart pluggable board that comprises in the same device hardware and software resources to implement specialized networking, synchronization and security oriented services. Its flexible design allows it to be fitted in full height or low porfile slots.

RELY-SYNC-HSR/PRP-PCIe can be used as a multi-media PCIe Redbox-DAN, operating as an HSR/PRP node of a high-availability network and connecting an Ethernet network segment with an HSR/PRP network.

The device uses dedicated hardware for low latency switching and for implementing high accuracy clock synchronization based on IEEE 1588 standard.
