  • When are industrial switches used

    When are industrial switches used

    Industrial switches are used to connect industrial equipment, such as sensors, controllers, and other nodes. Switches are responsible for moving data packets between nodes over a network and do so using what is called a Media Access Control (MAC) address. A MAC address is a 48-bit hexadecimal identifier of a node on a network. No two nodes share the same MAC address. From this article, you will learn what an industrial switch really is and. In the wave of the Industrial Internet, industrial switches, serving as the "nerve center" that connects devices and ensures data flow, have become increasingly crucial. This guide dives deep into the most common switch types, their unique traits, and real-world applications.


  • What are some industrial communication network switches

    What are some industrial communication network switches

    Industrial network switches connect automation equipment, controllers, and other such devices. These seemingly independent industrial devices are, in fact, tightly connected through an invisible "network," with the industrial switch serving as the core hub of this network. This gives you the flexibility to build powerful and secure networks, even in harsh environments: copper and FO ports, as well as redundancy functions, enable the flexible networking of your systems and the easy segmentation of your industrial network. Take a look at our previous articles to learn what control engineers need to know. In industrial environments such as factories, oil & gas facilities, transportation systems, utilities and outdoor installations network switches must endure harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, vibration, dust, humidity, electromagnetic interference and sometimes volatile atmospheres.
