This is a reference design for high-reliability, low-latency network communications for substation automation equipment in smart grid transmission and distribution networks. It supports the parallel redundancy protocol (PRP) specification in the IEC 62439 standard using the PRU-ICSS. This reference design is a lower-cost alternative to FPGA approaches and provides the flexibility and performance to add features such as IEC 61850 support without additional components.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
