Turbo Chain: A New Recovery System Beyond Ethernet ... - Technolec

Moxa White PaperMoxa Turbo ChainSummaryIndustrial applications require reliable, redundant networksystems to ensure non-stop network operations. Since thecomplexity of industrial field wiring is growing greater andgreater, deploying redundant connections with flexibility andscalability is becoming imperative. Even though there aremany existing redundant protocols, Turbo Chain redundanttechnology, supported by all of Moxa’s industrial managedEthernet switches, is the highest-availability solution thatallows network administrators to build multiple redundantconnections with the greatest ease and adaptability. Thebenefits of Turbo Chain redundant technology include:• Flexible and expandable network construction, with nonetwork reconfiguration effort.• Complete interoperability with various redundantnetworks, such as STP, RSTP, and Moxa’s Turbo Ringnetworks.• Rapid fault recovery (recovery time < 20 ms) of TurboChain technology for reliable system operations.• Cost-effective deployment compared with ring coupling.DisclaimerThis document is provided for information purposes only, and the contents hereof are subject to change withoutnotice.
