Ring redundancy
The Turbo-Ring technology integrated into Weidmüller’s
switches allows you to restore a network connection in case
of failure in under 20 ms, and this with up to 250 switches
in a ring. Turbo-Ring offers thee different topology options
(Ring-Coupling, Dual-Ring and Dual-Homing) for different
application requirements to ensure the maximum possible
availability of industrial network applications.
Ring-Coupling
In some applications, it is not sensible to have all equipment
and devices in a single large redundant ring networked
together, as some of the devices may be located in remote
parts of the plant. For such structures, Ring-Coupling is
ideal. It connects devices in multiple, smaller rings that are
connected redundantly and directly with one another.
Dual-Homing
With Dual-Homing, two separate rings are connected
through one managed switch via two independent
connection points. The back-up connection is activated if the
primary connection fails.
