Which kind of redundancy is guaranteed from Optocore?
The Optocore network offers three different aspects of redundancy. Fibre structure. Connecting the first device with a pair of fibres to the next and doing the same up to the last device, you enable the first ring, which is enough to run the system. To enable the redundant ring, it is sufficient to close the loop connecting, by means of an additional pair of fibres, the last device to the first one. Once the redundant loop is enabled, any connection can be lost (fibre disconnection or break) without effecting the integrity of the network. In a matter of one sample time, the system will switch-over the redundant connection, without interruption of the data flow. As soon as the previously disconnected fibre will be available again, it can be reconnected “on-air”, with no need of network reboot or re-configuration by the user. Power supplies. Every Optocore network device is equipped with dual redundant power supply, completely independent, with different power cables and protection fuses
