Using Communication Redundancy

Setting up Communication Redundancy on your network helps protect critical links against failure, protects against network loops, and keeps network downtime at a minimum.

The Communication Redundancy function allows the user to set up redundant loops in the network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently disconnected or damaged. This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable. For example, if MOXA EDS-518A is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue. MOXA EDS-518A supports two different protocols for this communication redundancy function—Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE-802.1w)and Turbo Ring.
