These standards that industrial switches must meet to qualify

We all know that industrial switches are specially designed for industrial environments, so the requirements of industrial switches are much stricter than those of general commercial switches! But now there are many commercial-grade switches on the market under the guise of industrial-grade switches, because many customers can't actually tell them apart. Once a problem occurs, it will not only be troublesome to maintain, but more importantly, it will affect the normal operation of the project! Therefore, it is beneficial and harmless to have a certain understanding of industrial switches! Next, let's take a look at what standards a real industrial-grade switch must meet, let's take a look!

Among the many performance indicators of industrial switches, working temperature, lightning protection level, shock and dust resistance, safety standards, stable performance, and material selection are very important. In addition, the fast redundancy, anti-interference, temperature characteristics, power supply and other aspects should also be carefully examined!

1. Fast redundancy

Industrial Ethernet switches can form a fast redundant network, and use X-Ring protocol to build a reliable industrial network for you, with an ultra-fast self-healing time of less than 10 milliseconds.

Commercial products can also form a redundant network, but the STP protocol needs to be activated, so that the redundant self-sustaining time will reach 10~30 seconds or more, so it cannot be used in an industrial environment.

2. Strong anti-interference - suitable for harsh environments

Ethernet products can work in harsh electromagnetic environments, and have high protection levels in data port lightning protection, fast bursts, static electricity, etc., while commercial products do not have this.

3. Good temperature characteristics and flexibility of installation methods

Good temperature characteristics, Huashu Communication's industrial-grade Ethernet switches are designed for wide temperature. Working temperature: -40 ~ 75℃ Storage temperature: -40 ~ 85℃, to meet the stable demand in harsh weather environment.

The installation method is more flexible. Industrial products can support various methods such as rail installation, panel installation, stack installation and cabinet installation.

4. Advantages of power supply and installation method
The power supply part of the industrial Ethernet switch is the root cause of any product. All products fail, and the power failure rate accounts for more than 35%. Therefore, in order to avoid the trouble caused by power failure, industrial switch products generally choose the mode of dual power supply. And use DC power supply. Commercial products generally use AC single power supply.
