STRONG POINTS
✔ Enabling existing manufacturing equipment to operate as a cohesive system is a significant challenge when each supports standards and communications protocols that are incompatible with the others.
✔ This solution was completed by the TSW114 and its five Gigabit Ethernet ports to ensure communication and data transmission between the equipment and the server. Thanks to its plug-n-play nature, the switch becomes a very practical intermediary between equipment.
✔ The TSW114 is particularly efficient in this case due to its industrial design; With an anodized aluminum housing, integrated DIN rail support and front-facing ports, this switch can effortlessly adapt to harsh environmental conditions and space constraints.
THE CHALLENGE – THE MISSING LINK
The rise of IoT has revolutionized the industrial sector, leading it to embrace automation to remain competitive and maximize its potential in terms of time management, productivity and scale. As a result, industrial communication between machines must evolve to adapt.
However, a problem arises when automation is applied to existing machines, due to the myriad of incompatible standards and protocols accumulated over the years. To overcome this problem, Ethernet connectivity appears to be the essential technology for industrial communication, because it is more flexible, more economical and faster.
Manufacturing equipment is known for processing large amounts of data that is constantly transmitted between machines, so there is no room for delays and underperformance. This requires professional networking tools that are reliable, robust and easy to deploy. 
THE SOLUTION – GIVE A NEW LIGHT TO LEGACY EQUIPMENT
In factories, there are usually several production lines comprising a set of HMIs, controllers and sensors. All must be connected to a network for communication between the equipment and the server for access, control and command purposes. The good news is that there is a perfect industrial switch to achieve this: the plug-n-play TSW114!
To connect all existing equipment into a single, cohesive, up-to-date system, our TSW114 Gigabit DIN rail switch acts as an intermediary between the machines and the server. With five Gigabit Ethernet ports and a total bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps, the TSW114 maintains robust connectivity and brings high-bandwidth data transmission capabilities. As a result, each manufacturing equipment can transmit data to the server for data processing and analysis.
In addition to this, the TSW114 brings additional convenience thanks to its industrial design and compact size (113.1 x 27.4 x 80.5 mm). The switch features an anodized aluminum housing, integrated DIN rail mounting, and front-facing ports, allowing you to install as many switches as needed in any industrial environment, effortlessly. Importantly, the TSW114 is equipped with a 2-pin industrial DC plug and open wires, allowing direct connection to each manufacturing line cabinet without requiring a power outlet.
