What is...
 
 
 
 
 
   
   
 
 
 
Ethernet is an ideal medium to transport large volumes of data, at speed, across great distances. Previously, multiple networks carrying specific protocols were installed side by side to carry out unique tasks. This inevitably led to project costs increasing as additional fiber optic or copper cables were installed to deal with the increasing volume of data. Using Ethernet a single fiber optic cable can carry multiple protocols. Furthermore, manufacturers are exporting their legacy protocols onto Ethernet, designing new IP based communication protocols and providing embedded Web-Pages within devices that offer real-time information using simple tools like Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
 
     
 
 
     
 
Early Ethernet were based on a hub or repeater. These units have no intelligence and therefore are unable to identify any information contained within the Header frame of an Ethernet packet. This means that it is not capable of determining which port to send the frame to. Therefore, every frame is sent to every port.
 
     
 
A switch, like a hub, has to forward and receive packets from one network or device to another. The switch could forward all packets, but if this was the case it would have similar behaviour to a hub. It would be more intelligent if the switch only forwarded packets which needed to travel from one network or device to another.
 
     
     
  The Ethernet Applications  
  • Factory automation • Industrial machine control • Maritime electronic
• Building management system •Aircraft engines
 
     
   
     
 
 Unmanaged Switch
 
     
 
Industrial rated Switches are intended to be installed in both harsh climatic environments and noisy electrical installations. Such Switches are an excellent example of true industrial design principles
 
 
  • very high operating temperatures (down to -30°C and up to 75°C)
  • DIN Rail Mount
  • wide DC operating voltages
 
     
   
     
 
   Media Converter
 
     
  The utilization of fiber optic data transmission for industrial automation and process control has become increasingly popular over the past decade. A basic fiber optic system, using an optical transceiver circuit and fiber optic media, offers a wide array of benefits that are not available with traditional copper conductors.
 
     
   
     
 
   IP67 Water Proof Switch
 
     
  IP67 Ethernet Switches are designed for use in industrial waterproof/harsh environments.The rugged packaging and IP67 connectors guarantee a total protection that can withstand a variety of extreme conditions such as high temperatures, extreme shocks & vibrations, dust particles or even liquid immersion. They can be directly mounted to any machine or convenient flat surface. Find IP-67 products
 
     
   
     
 
   Real-time Redundant Ring Switch
 
     
 
The Real-time Redundant Ring Switch offers fault-tolerant industrial Ethernet with ring network topology. The built-in ICP DAS proprietary Cyber-Ring technology detects and recovers from a fiber or copper link failure within approximately 300ms – for the majority of applications a seamless process. Modbus/TCP, Modbus/RTU and OPC supported, SCADA application can monitor status of Ethernet and fiber port with Modbus or OPC protocol. And, the relay output facility can deliver warning signal while dual power or network link failure.
 
     
 
 
     
   
     
 
   Managed Switch
 
     
 
The ICP DAS Managed Switch provides a cost-effective managed Ethernet solution for industrial control and automation. It provides lots of powerful managed functions, such as 802.1Q Tag-based VLAN, Port-based VLAN, 802.1p QoS (Quality of Service), Port Trunking, Spanning Tree, Cable Testing and Port Mirroring. These managed functions can be configured through RS-232 port via serial console or Ethernet port using telnet or Web browser. In addition, the built-in Cyber-Ring technology offers real-time fault-tolerant ring topology to increase the reliability and performance of network. This is an ideal Managed Switch for industrial environments.
