Tag: industrial ethernet switch

Industrial switch is also known as industrial Ethernet switch, which is used in the industrial Internet, industrial digital intelligent control field Ethernet communication equipment. Because of the standard TCP/IP network, its openness, wide application and high performance and reliability, Ethernet communication technology has become the main communication standard in the field of industrial control. In this article, ATO industrial automation will introduce sommething about 3 technologies of industrial Ethernet switch.

The industrial Ethernet has been wildly used in daily life. As an important component of the network, industrial switches play an important role in current industrial automation. Industrial field switches can be divided into two categories: unmanaged and managed. General device internal network, such as CPU. Unmanaged switches are used for data exchange between distributed modules; managed switches are used for communication between devices and the factory network. They all belong to the industrial ethernet switches. So, what is the difference between an unmanaged switch and a managed switch? Today we will talk about this topic.

As automation matures and rises with the extensive use of industrial Ethernet and the establishment of large-scale industrial control networks. Industrial Ethernet switches are also widely used in the field of industrial control. At present, the three-layer industrial Ethernet switch shows a strong growth trend and is replacing routers in the local area network. Its huge market potential is attracting a large number of domestic and foreign manufacturers to join the competition. When choosing a switch ( managed switch or unmanaged switch), faced with such a variety of brands, what aspects should users start with when choosing is a problem that must be solved.

Industrial Ethernet switch, that is, Ethernet switch equipment applied in the field of industrial control, because of the network standard adopted, its openness, wide application and low price, the use of transparent and unified TCP/IP protocol, Ethernet has become the main communication standard in the field of industrial control. We need to know not only what an industrial switch is, but also what its advantages are. In this article, ATO automation will give you a detailed introduction.

Industrial Ethernet switches are designed to meet the needs of flexible industrial applications and provide a cost-effective industrial Ethernet communication solution. The networking mode is more focused on loop design. In this article, ATO automation will introduce three networking modes of industrial Ethernet switches: serial port management, web management and network management software management.
