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

Moxa White PaperMoxa Turbo Chain• Scenario 2: Oil Pipeline SystemAn oil pipeline network spanning many miles normally requiresseveral sub-rings of fiber Ethernet infrastructure at variouslocations to form a reliable distributed monitoring and controlsystem. However, fiber-cabling expenses of up to tens ofthousands of dollars plus days of installation effort need to beexpended just to “create and interconnect the sub-rings.” Inthis scenario, Turbo Chain can be utilized to substantiallyreduce the deployment expense of the network and enhancesystem reliability. Independent chains formed in differentpipeline network segments can be hooked up to the centralredundant ring network rapidly and inexpensively. In this way,the pipeline network can be adaptable and extendable.Copyright © 2009 Moxa Inc. Page 9 of 11
