The Turbo Chain Concept

Moxa’s Turbo Chain is an advanced software-technology that gives network administrators the

flexibility of constructing any type of redundant network topology. When using the “chain”

concept, you first connect the Ethernet switches in a chain and then simply link the two ends of the

chain to an Ethernet network, as illustrated in the following figure.

Turbo Chain can be used on industrial networks that have a complex topology. If the industrial

network uses a multi-ring architecture, Turbo Chain can be used to create flexible and scalable

topologies with a fast media-recovery time.

Setting Up Turbo Chain

1. Select the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member switches.

2. Configure one port as the Head port and one port as the Member port in the Head switch,

configure one port as the Tail port and one port as the Member port in the Tail switch, and

configure two ports as Member ports in each of the Member switches.

3. Connect the Head switch, Tail switch, and Member switches as shown in the diagram.

The path connecting to the Head port is the main path, and the path connecting to the Tail port is

the back up path of the Turbo Chain. Under normal conditions, packets are transmitted through the

Head Port to the LAN Network. If any Turbo Chain path is disconnected, the Tail Port will be

activated to continue packet transmission.
