3.5.2.2 PROFINET Controller Parameters (Media Redundancy Tab)
By default, a PROFINET Controller is not set up for Media Redundancy. If the system will use Media Redundancy
(see Chapter 6 for more information), open the Media Redundancy tab and select either Client or Manager:
If the PROFINET Controller will be a Media Redundancy Client, click on Ring Port 1 and Ring Port 2 to choose the
module ports and Domain Name that will be used.
If the PROFINET Controller will be a Media Redundancy Manager, edit the Ring Port settings as above. You can
also change the Default Test Interval in the range of 10 to 1000ms and the Test Monitoring Count (2 to 10). For
the Media Redundancy Manager, the Domain Name can be edited by typing over the default name.

Figure 46: Setting Media Redundancy Manager Parameters

Note: In an MRP ring with a large number of clients, storing a configuration that causes all clients to
reconfigure (for example, changing the Domain Name) may generate a large number of Loss/Addition
of Device faults. This is expected behavior and all devices should automatically return to operational
status.
Note: If one of the module ports chosen as a Ring Port is configured as a critical network port, PROFICY
Machine Edition automatically sets the other Ring Port as a critical network port.
