Hirschmann RSP and RSP-Smart switch repair and refurbishment.
Board-level repair for Hirschmann RSP managed switches with PRP and HSR zero-switchover redundancy. No fix no fee.
RSP / RSP-Smart repair and refurbishment
The Hirschmann RSP and RSP-Smart are managed industrial Ethernet switches supporting PRP and HSR zero-switchover redundancy protocols. These switches are deployed in critical UK infrastructure applications — substations, power generation, and process plant — where any network interruption is unacceptable. The zero-switchover capability makes these units significantly more expensive than standard managed switches, and their deployment in critical applications means downtime cost is extremely high for end users.
Common RSP / RSP-Smart faults we fix
-
Power supply faults causing loss of one or both redundant power inputs — critical on units deployed in high-availability applications
-
PRP or HSR redundancy protocol hardware failure preventing the switch from maintaining zero-switchover capability
-
Individual port failures from ESD or PHY chip faults
-
IEEE 1588v2 precision time protocol hardware failure affecting time synchronisation across the network

RSP / RSP-Smart repair FAQs
Can you repair the PRP/HSR redundancy hardware on an RSP switch?
We diagnose PRP and HSR faults at board level. Where the fault is a component-level issue rather than a fundamental ASIC failure, repair is viable. We assess each unit and confirm viability before proceeding.
What is the difference between the RSP and the RSP-Smart?
The RSP-Smart is an economical variant of the RSP with the same PRP/HSR zero-switchover capability. The hardware architecture is closely related and we service both.
