The Advantages Of Industrial Switches

Industrial Switch is also called industrial Ethernet switch, that is, Ethernet switch equipment used in industrial control field. It is a network switch specially designed to adapt to harsh deployment conditions in industrial field and has industrial reliability, environmental adaptability and deployment flexibility.

In the industrial field, the deployment environment of the network is usually relatively bad, and there are often adverse conditions such as extreme temperature, humidity or electromagnetic interference that affect the stable operation of the network equipment and the quality of service. For example, in traffic intersections, highways, subways, airports and other scenarios related to traffic safety, adverse conditions such as extreme temperature, humidity and vibration in the environment are difficult to avoid. It requires not only the network equipment to have the corresponding environmental adaptability, but also the software and hardware of the equipment to have high reliability. Only the industrial switch can ensure the long-term stable operation of the network, ordinary commercial switches do not meet such harsh deployment conditions.

At present, more and more enterprises are starting to use industrial switches. In fact, at the beginning, many people did not pay attention to it. They even thought that the application performance of industrial switches was not as good as advertised. After a period of understanding, they found that the advantages of the industrial switch products have always been very many, and each advantage meets your actual requirements. It is shown in the following aspects:

The application range is very wide

The application range of industrial switch is very wide. It can be used in residential property, schools, shopping malls, intelligent factories, rail transit, electric power, telecommunications, security, finance and other industries. Simply speaking, if you need to use the network signal, you can use it, because its appearance can make the network signal more stable and reliable, and ensure people's normal use.

The metal shell is easy to dissipate heat

Since the industrial switch is an industrial equipment, it will naturally generate a lot of heat during the process of being used. If the equipment can not actively dissipate heat, it may cause heat accumulation problems, and the later impact is unimaginable. The industrial switch is basically made of high-end aluminum alloy. With high technology, the product can quickly dissipate heat without any heat accumulation.

Support cold start

The industrial switch fully supports cold start in terms of startup. No matter it is tens of degrees below zero or 70 degrees above zero, there is no problem. Even if the surrounding environment itself is not particularly stable, people can still use it normally.

Designed for industrial environment

The industrial switch has a solid appearance structure to ensure that it has IP30, IP40 or higher protection level, and the use of industrial grade devices and special internal hardware design makes the equipment have the basic protection ability against humidity, impact, vibration and extreme temperature. Some industrial switches designed for special scenarios have more protection capabilities. For example, industrial switches designed for outdoor application scenarios usually have special design at the hardware level to ensure the lightning protection characteristics of equipment.

Flexible installation

Industrial switches usually support more flexible DIN rail or wall-mounted assembly to ensure stable installation under different conditions. DIN rail is a kind of electrical installation rail, which is commonly used in household strong current box or industrial strong current cabinet. The electrical control cabinet is used to install air switch, wiring terminal, PLC controller, etc. The industrial switch with DIN rail installation structure can be installed in the electric cabinet nearby to facilitate power access, or installed in the control cabinet to facilitate control system networking, or can be directly hung on the wall at any location convenient for wiring, which greatly improves the flexibility, simplifies the installation steps, and reduces the cost of electrical wiring and network wiring.

To sum up, the industrial switch is more rigorous in hardware design and component selection. It has a higher protection level, can adapt to a wide range of operating ambient temperatures, and can provide excellent industrial quality such as vibration resistance, dust prevention, lightning protection, moisture prevention, etc. As the infrastructure for network deployment, the advantages of industrial switches provide the possibility for network access in industrial sites, and also provide a solid foundation for the transformation of traditional industries and manufacturing industries.
