X-Ring Application
The industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network system to
recover from network connection failure within 300ms or less, and make the network
system more reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
and Rapid STP (RSTP)
algorithm but its recovery time is less than STP/RSTP. The
figure below is a sample of X-Ring application.
