Various Topologies for Flexible Network Planning
 
 
Versatile Redundant Turbo Ring Topology for Flexible Network Planning
 
Gigabit Ethernet Redundant Ring and Ring Coupling Capability
Ethernet has become the default data communication medium for industrial automation applications. In fact, it's not uncommon for video, voice, and high-rate industrial application data transfers to be integrated into one network. MOXA's EDS-518A and EDS-510A, which come equipped with a redundant Gigabit Ethernet protocol called Gigabit Turbo Ring, gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable Gigabit Ethernet network. With Gigabit Turbo Ring, if any segment of the network is disconnected, your automation system will be back to normal in few milliseconds.
 
Coupling Several Turbo Rings for Distributed Applications
For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to create one BIG redundant ring, since some devices could be located at a remote site. Turbo Ring's "Ring Coupling" function helps youseparate those distributed devices into different smaller redundant rings, without any control line, but in such a way that the smaller rings will still be able to communicate with each other.
 
Moreover, the advanced coupling technology allows you to diversify the connection to Turbo Ring and fit various installation environments. You can configure the network for "Dual-Homing," which involves coupling two separate rings with a single EDS switch connecting to two independent connection points. The back-up path will be activated in the event of a failure of the operating connection (primary path). Besides, "Dual-Ring" function can also add reliability by allowing a single EDS switch to connect two separate rings for applications that present cabling difficulties.
