Ethernet switches support imaging processes for industry
Several high quality images can be processed using the Ha-VIS eCon Ethernet switches; furthermore, says Harting, they can be streamed in parallel throughout the network.
The unmanaged 16-power Gbit switch enables individually tailored network solutions to be implemented for data-intensive applications.
Industry uses imaging processes in a multitude of segments, from quality inspection within a production facility to road traffic identification. The quality of images has increasing significantly in recent years, reports Harting, yet the capability of network devices for industrial environments has grown more slowly.
The Ha-VIS eCon Ethernet switch addresses this challenge with the capability to process several high-quality images and stream in parallel throughout the network.
Live imaging or streaming processes are performed without network reliability mechanisms because images and data streams transferred to the receiver with a delay makes no sense at all, says Harting. To secure the correct delivery of large data streams, the Ha-VIS eCon 3160GX-A-A switch supports Jumbo Frames. These are Ethernet frames which improve performance on local networks by making data transmissions more efficient.
Harting has also equipped the Ha-VIS eCon with an optimised architecture, to guarantee the availability of hardware resources.
The Harting Technology Group provides industrial connection technology for data, signal and power applications. It has 13 production plants and branches in 44 countries. It also produces retail checkout systems, electromagnetic actuators for automotive and industrial series use, charging equipment for electric vehicles, as well as hardware and software for customers and applications in automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, robotics and transportation engineering.
