Connection between Industrial Ethernet Switch and Industrial IoT

The Industrial IoT has transformed from the simple information exchange between people to the information exchange between people, and even between things and things, which can further enhance the relevance between the Internet and industrial products, derive from the industrial Internet, make it more integrated into industrial production, and better meet industrial needs.

The advantages of the Industrial IoT are as follows:

1. Realize intelligent manufacturing: The Industrial IoT can connect devices, collect data and transmit it to the cloud for analysis, monitor and optimize the manufacturing process, so as to enhance manufacturing productivity, improve manufacturing quality and reduce costs.

2. Cost saving: The Industrial IoT can realize real-time monitoring, remote maintenance and health management of production equipment, and reduce equipment failure rate and maintenance costs.

3. Resource saving: The Industrial IoT can realize real-time monitoring and control of production equipment to avoid wasting production resources, such as saving energy and materials.

4. Optimize the supply chain: The Industrial IoT can realize real-time monitoring and management of freight, reduce transportation time and costs, and optimize the efficiency of the supply chain.

5. Personalized production: The Industrial IoT can achieve precise production of products and provide targeted personalized production services according to customer needs.

6. Improve the safety of the production environment: The Industrial IoT can realize real-time monitoring and control of the production environment, monitor environmental abnormalities, give early warning and take measures in advance.

7. Improve the reliability of the production process: The Industrial IoT can realize real-time monitoring and analysis of the production process, timely detect and prevent production failures, and improve the reliability of the production process.

The advantages of the Industrial IoT are self-evident, but the whole process of its construction is not as simple as imagined. In terms of hardware, what cannot be lacking is Industrial Switches that provide feasible communication strategies.

Industrial switches, also known as Industrial Ethernet switches, are an important part of the Industrial internet of things. There is no difference between the industrial switch itself and the commercial service network in terms of data information link layer, network layer, protocol layer, etc., but for the practicality of the Industrial control system and other requirements, Power-line communication needs to solve technical problems such as communication practicability, network security performance, security system and security explosion-proof technology, and needs to adopt some countermeasures suitable for the natural environment of industrial production, such as moisture-proof, Anti vibration, etc. The existence of industrial switches is based on the demand for industrial networks as the research and development starting point. They can withstand extreme industrial environments and severe electromagnetic interference, and their performance stability is unmatched by ordinary commercial switches.

As one of the key devices in the Industrial internet of things network architecture, the Industrial Ethernet switch can realize the functions of data communication, data aggregation and control command transmission between devices of the Internet of Things. Therefore, the Industrial Ethernet switch is an important part of the Industrial internet of things and provides an important network infrastructure for the realization of industrial intelligence.

Specifically, Industrial Ethernet switches can connect various devices and sensors in the Internet of Things through different interfaces and protocols, collect real-time data and forward it to the required devices or cloud servers for processing and analysis. Industrial Ethernet switches can also be configured according to the application requirements of the Industrial internet of things, such as QoS policies, VLAN isolation, security authentication and fault detection.

In addition, the Industrial Ethernet switch can also provide network monitoring and management functions, manage and troubleshoot equipment in the IoT, and ensure the reliability and stability of the network. At the same time, the Industrial Ethernet switch can also realize data interaction and integration with other systems and platforms through various open interfaces and protocols to meet the diversified needs of the Industrial IoT.

Therefore, the Industrial Ethernet switch is closely connected with the Industrial internet of things, and plays an important role in realizing industrial intelligence and enhancing manufacturing capacity.
