Specialised networks for smart industry
Industrial networks are designed to operate in industrial environments, where the equipment is exposed to temperature fluctuations, dust, dirt and moisture.
Temperature fluctuations
The switches have to operate at temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +75 °C.
External influences
Industrial switches have specifically designed housings to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust and moisture. The IP factor indicates the degree of protection.
Electromagnetic radiation
Switches used in electric power facilities come with a protection against electromagnetic radiation in line with the IEC 61850 standard.
Network connection
The switches provide a network connection at the L2 and/or L3 OSI levels for Ethernet, FastEthernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Ring topology
Ring topology provides a fast convergence in the event of failure (under 20 msec). The G.8032 and G.8031 standards are used in the ring topology.
Which characteristics are mandatory for the power supply system?
Industrial switches must come with either built-in or separately mounted (on a DIN rail) power supplies. Power supplies used in combination with industrial switches must include protection against:
- short circuit,
- overload,
- surge and
- overheating.
