Industrial ethernet switch

Date: 3/22/2007

Ethernet has become a trend in many industrial communication application fields such as factory automation, environmental monitoring systems, inventory control systems, and many others. Advantech's industrial Ethernet switches and hubs are designed especially for industrial environments with Ethernet networking needs, so you can expand your industrial network efficiently and cost-effectively. Moreover, the rugged industrial-grade design meets the high reliability requirements of industrial applications. For example, the redundant dual power inputs ensure stable power supply, while surge protection for the power line and ESD protection for Ethernet ports make the Advantech industrial Ethernet switches more suitable for harsh environments.

In addition to unmanaged switch EDG-6528 series with networking standard IEEE802.3/802.3u, there are several critical functions built into Advantech's smart switches, like VLAN, QoS, Port Trunk and Port Mirroring, which can advance network communication quality. VLAN settings helps to break the limitations of physical connections, and make the network segment planning easier and more efficient. Quality of Service (QoS) provides traffic prioritization to ensure that important data is delivered consistently and predictably. Port Mirroring provides MIS engineers a real-time monitoring tool for system behavior. Port Trunk can be used to increase the bandwidth of a specific path for mass data transmission, or it can control traffic to improve network quality.

Advanced managed functions are ring redundancy for better reliability, and SNMP for security. Advantech's managed switches meet industrial application requests with their powerful management features.

In addition to Ethernet connectivity, ADAM-6521 is equipped with a fiber optic interface (100Base-FX) to support long distance and high-noise applications. EDG-6528I also provides a wider operating temperature range (-40 ~85 ºC) so that it is more suitable for outdoor and very harsh environments.
