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 the EDS-510A is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue. The EDS-510A supports two different protocols for this communication redundancy function—Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE-802.1w)and Turbo Ring.

Turbo Ring and STP/RSTP cannot both be used on the network at the same time. The following table lists the key differences between each feature. Use this information to evaluate the benefits of each, and then determine which features are most suitable for your network.

Ethernet has become the default data communications medium for industrial automation applications. In fact, Ethernet is often used to integrate video, voice, and high-rate industrial application data transfers into one network. The EDS-510A, which comes 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.

EDS-510A, Moxa EtherDevice Switch specifications

Moxa Technologies is a leader in providing innovative networking solutions for industrial applications, and one of its standout products is the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A. This robust, managed Ethernet switch is specifically designed for reliable performance in challenging industrial environments, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including automation, transportation, and power generation.

The EDS-510A features five 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports, allowing flexibility in connecting multiple devices. Additionally, it offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports for uplink, enabling high-speed connections to aggregation switches or routers. The switch supports both redundant power inputs and a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius, ensuring continuity of service even in extreme conditions.

One of the key features of the EDS-510A is its support for IEEE 802.3at PoE (Power over Ethernet). This technology allows the switch to deliver power to connected devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points through the Ethernet cable, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power sources. This is especially beneficial in remote locations where power availability may be limited.

The EDS-510A is also equipped with advanced management features that include VLAN support, port mirroring, and QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities. These features enhance network performance and security, enabling users to prioritize critical traffic and segment the network for better control. Moreover, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing for easy integration into existing network management systems.

Another notable characteristic is the switch's rugged design. With a metal housing that provides excellent EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) protection, the EDS-510A can withstand harsh industrial environments. It is also compliant with various industrial standards, reinforcing its suitability for mission-critical applications.

In summary, the Moxa EtherDevice Switch, EDS-510A, is engineered to meet the demands of modern industrial networking. With its combination of PoE capability, advanced management features, and rugged design, it ensures reliable and efficient network performance, making it an excellent choice for organizations looking to enhance their industrial networking infrastructure. Whether deployed in factories, transportation systems, or utility environments, the EDS-510A continues to be a trusted solution for numerous applications.
