Intended use for Industrial Ethernet
Weidmüller’s network components for the process industry
allow their use in explosion hazard areas with their
certication - Class 1 Div. 2 and ATEX. The active
components have high fault-tolerance and ensure high
system availability with redundancy mechanisms like
trunking and ring-redundancy as well as RSTP.
Long distances can be bridged using bre-optic media
in large process plants. There are requirements like high
protection class when you use components in the eld. The
harsh environments in process plants are characterised by
high temperature variations, vibrations, rain and dust, as
well as electromagnetic inuences. Weidmüller’s active and
passive Ethernet components are well able to withstand
these inuences.
It is particularly important to make sure the communication
between various areas of the plant is secure. Weidmüller’s
Ethernet switches support network management and
security functions like IGMP Snooping, IEEE 802.1X, QoS
and VLAN.
This means that the devices form a secure and efcient
communications bridge to the ofce, from the plant to the
controller and then out to the wider IT network.
