Industrial EthernetProducts | Network & Communications | Industrial Ethernet | Ethernet for deterministic control?With an AutomationDirect industrial Ethernet switch switching an isolated control LAN, your PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) won’t miss a beat. At 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet, your data will spend minimal “time-on-the-wire” between your I/O and controller.
Both our industrial Ethernet switches and the Ethernet kit allow additional nodes and segments to be added to a network, but the Ethernet switches have many advantages over hubs for automation control.
- An Ethernet switch automatically determines and remembers the devices connected to each of its ports.
- When it receives a data packet, it verifies the packet integrity, identifies through which port the message should be transmitted, and sends the packet to the targeted device only.
- Non-valid packets are discarded and network collisions are eliminated as each device communicates one-to-one with the Ethernet switch.
- In identifying the packet destination and verifying the packet integrity, switches introduce some delay (latency) to each packet transmission. This slight delay is the trade-off for eliminating packet collisions, further reducing network traffic.
- Another advantage of Ethernet switches segmenting the network is they allow longer network distances than Ethernet hubs.
