Industrial Switch Is Moving Forward Steadily In Reform

The so-called industrial Ethernet switch is the Ethernet switch used in the industrial site, also known as the Industrial Switch, which is based on the IEEE802.3 standard and is technically compatible with commercial Ethernet. However, in the product design, it can meet the needs of the industrial site in terms of material technology selection, product strength, applicability, real-time, interoperability, reliability, anti-interference and intrinsic safety.

Industrial switch, as the core equipment of industrial Ethernet, is actually a data link layer device like the traditional switch.

To apply the traditional switch to the industrial site, it must also meet the needs of the industrial site for real-time, interoperability, reliability, anti-interference and security. In order to meet the special application requirements of industrial field, the industrial switch has made technological innovation and breakthrough compared with the traditional switch, forming some necessary characteristics and functions of the industrial switch.

Industrial switch is widely used in the infrastructure of automation industry, from the implementation of smart grid, especially substation automation, to intelligent railway, highway and other transportation projects, which are increasingly relying on industrial Ethernet. In China, it is an obvious trend to continue to rely on the infrastructure market to achieve growth. Power generation, transmission and distribution and transportation are the leading application industries of industrial switches. In the field of process automation, industrial Ethernet has become the preferred backbone of the control layer, and is gradually migrating to the device layer.

Thus, the whole industrial Ethernet industry chain will be further developed. In particular, China's industrial switch industry has been affected by this, and is currently undergoing an industrial transformation, which has further stimulated the development of the Ethernet switch industry market and technology application.

Looking forward, with the continuous development of industrial automation, the demand for industrial switches will also expand, and the demand will also increase. At present, industrial Ethernet is mainly used in the field of control and information transmission in industrial production, and extended to the field. The power system, transportation industry and metallurgical industry will also be the main fields of industrial switch application, and the demand for industrial switch is also showing an increasing trend in the petrochemical industry, water treatment and other industries. From the perspective of duration and effectiveness, industrial switch should further improve its own technology and strive to strengthen protection technology, real-time communication, stability, etc. The development of wireless network, Bluetooth and other network technologies has injected new blood and vitality into the development of industrial switch technology. It can be predicted that in the next few years, industrial switches will have a qualitative improvement and more unknown challenges.

China's future industrial switch will usher in greater development with the continuous promotion of industrial automation process and the continuous promotion of industrial Ethernet technology application. From a technical point of view, real-time communication, stability and security are the focus of industrial Ethernet switch products. From the perspective of products, multi-function is the development trend of industrial switches.

In addition, from the market perspective, with the development and maturity of industrial switch technology, many customers will put forward personalized requirements. At the same time, with the gradual development of smart cities, intelligent transportation and the Internet of Things, the opportunities of industrial switch market will also reappear.
