Introduction

Inside the Future of Industrial Ethernet Technology

The trend in industrial communications and automation applications

As the world’s network and information technology becomes more mature, the trend is to use Ethernet as the major communications interface in many industrial communications, and automation applications. In fact, a whole new industry has sprung up to provide Ethernet products that comply with the requirements of demanding industrial applications.

Industrial vs. Commercial

Users have found that when moving Ethernet equipment from the comfortable office environment to the harsh and less predictable industrial environment, the commercial Ethernet equipment available in today’s market simply cannot meet the high reliability requirements demanded by industrial applications. This means that a more robust type of network equipment, commonly referred to as industrial Ethernet equipment, is required for these applications.

Informative vs. Passive

Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, such devices cannot always know what’s happening elsewhere on the network. This means that industrial Ethernet communication equipment that connects these devices must take responsibility for providing system maintainers with real-time alarm messages.

Moxa EtherDevice™ Switch

Moxa EtherDevice Switches come with a suite of useful maintenance and monitoring functions, and is designed to provide smooth and reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. You will find that Moxa EtherDevice Switches establish a new industrial Ethernet benchmark. The switches excellent for keeping automation systems running continuously, are ideal for sending status reports to help prevent system damages and losses, are a great tool for mastering your industrial Ethernet networks, and are well-suited for use with industrial device control networks.

ATTENTION
