The Advantages Of Industrial Switches In The Use Process

Industrial Switches are called industrial Ethernet switches. Industrial Ethernet switches are often referred to as industrial switches. Industrial switches are industrial equipment designed specifically to meet the flexible industrial application requirements. They provide a cost-effective industrial Ethernet communication solution. In recent years, with the increase in the use of industrial switches, we have paid attention to meeting the specific production and design requirements in an all-round way, and further improved the use quality.

The advantages in use are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:

Bus-based network, realizing the integration of network and line

The bus network allows users to customize the controlled devices. By treating the same virtual Mac terminal as the same device, the switch treats the controlled devices as the same device, enabling these devices to interconnect with each other, share information, and ensure the linkage of control.

The industrial switch supports a variety of bus protocols and I/O interfaces to realize the networking of bus data. It replaces the non-traditional point-to-point mode to maximize the resource utilization of the network and bus. Then flexible network configuration can be realized, which can directly connect instruments, industrial cameras and other field equipment, so that PLC can be connected to I/O equipment with a greater distance, greatly reducing the number of PLCs in the whole system, and significantly reducing the cost of system integration.

The tolerance of working environment is getting higher and higher

The advanced industrial switch adapts to the wide temperature working environment, especially with the better improvement of the integrated system and the continuous optimization of the corresponding materials, which greatly ensures that the industrial switch with good reputation has strong stress resistance, water resistance, dust prevention, salt fog prevention, anti-static, lightning protection, shock resistance and anti-interference ability, and is not affected by the variable natural factors, so that its comprehensive stability is more guaranteed, It can also be used in more special environments.

Fast and real-time

The industrial switch supports fast redundant ring network technology, and the self-healing time in case of network interruption can be less than 30ms. Although commercial switch products can also form redundant ring network, the self-healing time is more than 1s, which cannot meet the use of industrial environment.

In addition, the industrial switch has the data priority feature, which allows users to customize some devices as fast data devices. When fast data appears in the ring network, ordinary data will make way for fast data. It avoids the situation that the traditional switch cannot be applied to the control command layer because of the large data delay.

Flexible and diverse ways of network management

In order to better adapt to the implementation of specific work, the industrial switches that keep pace with the times meet the solution of communication problems with higher cost performance through more diversified networking methods, especially through the combination of multiple modern management methods such as serial port management, web management, network management software management, etc., so that they have better diversified guarantee in the targeted implementation of more problems. The continuous strengthening of flexibility has also fundamentally contributed to the advantages of multi-functional industrial switches in solving more problems, and better reflected the work of industrial switches in more fields.

It can be seen from the above that the advantages and characteristics of the continuously developing industrial switch in the specific use process are increasingly clear, so it can meet the application requirements of various industrial control fields. With the rapid development of electric power, metallurgy, petrochemical, environmental protection, transportation, construction and other industries, the demand for industrial switches for information construction in all walks of life is also increasing.
