Description: The PFC200/300 series controllers currently lack Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) capabilities when functioning as a PROFINET master. MRP is essential for ensuring network reliability and minimizing downtime by allowing network devices to continue communication in the event of a ring network failure. Integrating MRP capabilities would enhance the resilience and operational efficiency of industrial networks, especially in environments where network availability is critical to continuous production and safety.
Use Case: This feature is particularly important in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, where even a small amount of downtime can result in significant financial losses and safety risks.
