The Turbo Chain Concept
Moxa’s Turbo Chain is an advanced software technology that gives network administrators the
flexibility to construct any type of redundant network topology. When using a Turbo Chain, 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.
