What's the Industrial Ethernet Switch for

It is used in a hot and dusty factory environment, different from its original design for office environment application. Furthermore, there are other important considerations on applying Industrial Ethernet switch:

 

Cabling: Ring topology V.S. Star- topology

  5 minutes' network shut down in office may just cause some operational inconvenience, but it can be serious damage in factory automation. It's therefore the installation of network cable need to have "Redundancy". The factory network plan has to be Ring topology rather than offices' Star - topology.
   
Data packets need real-time behavior
  Due to high volume of multimedia transportation within an office network, data packets are generally larger thus real-time traffics are not required. However, even though control data with in a plant network are usually smaller, information such as machinery control are often included, thus required not only a stable network but real-time transmission as well.
   
DIN-Rail mounting
  Suitable for factory installation. The DIN-Rail mounting provides rapid mounting of robust devices by means of simple clipping on to a standard DIN-Rail.
