Introduction

• Industrial networks can be defined as
  communication of data on a large scale. They are
  made to cater to real time needs. Industrial
  networks used in enterprises are known as
  enterprise networks or corporate networks. They
  include LANs and WANs to transfer data between
  various systems in a same building.

Implementation

• In terms of implementing an industrial networking
  solution for control and automaton, however, the
  largest challenge is finding a way to network
  such legacy devices with newer industrial
  automation equipment. Networking such devices
  together will help satisfy the increasing demand
  for greater productivity, safety, control,
  reliability, and accuracy.

Industrial Networking Solutions for Control and
Automation Challenges

• Scalability and Flexibility
• Scalability and flexibility play essential roles
  in control and automaton. Technological
  advancements leading to highly-developed Ethernet
  devices have greatly enhanced process automation
  equipment and manufacturing data transmission.
  Ethernet devices offer such benefits because they
  allow data to be accessed anywhere.
• Industrial Ethernet Networking Solution Products
  and Requirements for Scalability and Flexibility
• - Industrial Ethernet switches
• - Ethernet fiber media converters
• - Industrial wireless device servers
• - Serial-to-Ethernet device servers

• Reliability
• Reliability has an integral role in the
  successful function of the manufacturing process
  and automation industries. Examples of areas
  where reliability is especially important include
  CNC machines, the bottling industry, and machine
  vision systems where efficient and constant
  operation is essential when operating in harsh
  environments or vibrations. Without reliability,
  automation industries may experience a
  considerable amount of downtime.

  Requirements for Reliability
• - Industrial networking products that passed
  certifications specifically designed and
  developed for the harsh environments present in
  the industrial automation industry.
• - Industrial networking equipment containing
  built-in high EFT and ESD protection to provide
  data transmission between the equipment and
  network without interruption.
• Ruggedized and Long-Lasting
• The equipment used in manufacturing and process
  automation must withstand harsh industrial
  environments, such as extreme temperature
  changes, vibrations, and exposure to chemicals
  that may cause corrosion. This means equipment
  must have a ruggedized and long-lasting design,
  which is why facilities must implement a robust
  industrial automation network.
