1.2 Product Description
PLANET Industrial Managed Switch is specially designed to build a full Gigabit backbone to transmit reliable and high-speed
data in heavy industrial demanding environments and forward data to remote network through fiber optic cabling. It comes with
an IP30 rugged case and redundant power system. Besides support for 40Gbps switch fabric to handle extremely large
amounts of video, voice and important data in a secure topology, the Industrial Managed Switch provides user-friendly but
advanced IPv6/ IPv4 management interfaces and abundant L2/L4 switching functions. It is the best investment for expanding
industrial business or upgrading its network infrastructure.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The Industrial Managed Switch supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent
interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching)
technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation
network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a certain simple Ring network, the recovery
time of data link can be as fast as 20ms.
Environmentally Hardened Design
With IP30 aluminum case, the Industrial Managed Switch provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference
and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets. It also possesses an
integrated power supply source with a wide range of voltages for worldwide high availability applications requiring dual or
backup power inputs. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the Industrial Managed
Switch can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm
( IGS-10020(H)PT, IGS-12040MT, IGS-20040MT, IGS-20160HPT )
The Industrial Managed Switch supports Digital Input and Digital Output on its upper panel. The external alarm enables users to
use Digital Input to detect external device’s status (such as door intrusion detector), and send event alarm to the administrators.
The Digital Output could be used to alarm the administrators if the Industrial Managed Switch port is link-down, link-up or
power-dead.
