Robust Planet Switches

The products from Planet are truly robust, especially when it comes to handling moisture, temperature variations, dust, water, and various environmental conditions. These switches can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to +75 degrees Celsius and, depending on the type, even operate when submerged in water.

Managed Switches

Many of the managed switches come equipped with the capability to integrate Redundant Ring Technology into industrial networks, ensuring reliability and uptime in demanding factory environments. This feature safeguards your industrial network against interruptions and unauthorized external access with its robust and rapid self-recovery attributes. The IEEE802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is utilized to construct a fault-tolerant ring. The protocol is optimized to support large rings and achieve fault recovery times of less than 20 ms.

Secure Routing

Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 Software VLAN Routing ensure secure and flexible management, aiding in maintaining organizational control. Many of Planet's industrial managed switches incorporate cybersecurity network solutions to minimize security risks. The latest generation of IGS-5225 switches possesses these cybersecurity solutions.

Power Supply for Industrial Switches

Industrial switches are equipped with DC power supplies, often with redundant DC power or, alternatively, a DC power supply backed up by an AC power supply. Layer 2 industrial switches often include: - VLAN - Spanning Tree Protocol - Storm Control Support - High-performance Store and Forward architecture - Prevent packet loss with back pressure (half-duplex) and IEEE802.3x pause frame flow control (full-duplex) Layer 3 industrial switches offer: - IP Interfaces (up to 128 VLAN interfaces) - Routing table (up to 128 routing entries) - Routing protocols (IPv4/IPv6 hardware static routing) Moreover, depending on the type of switch, they offer a plethora of additional possibilities and features in: - Physical ports - Enclosures - Digital inputs/outputs - Layer 2 features - Layer 3 features - Quality of Service - Multicast - Security - Management - Etc.
