One of our clients has recently made the EX96000 series (Managed Industrial Switch) and theTS900 series (Serial Server) an integral part of their automated chemical manufacturing system. The factory floor Robotics, Temperature sensors, SCADA Systems, RTUs and Microcontrollers are connected to each Serial Server's serial port, and their Ethernet port is connected to managed-switches, which directly linked with the factory's Ethernet/LAN via managed switches. By placing servers at strategic locations around the factory floor, the PC based Control Center is able to easily communicate with all of the manufacturing system's components.
In order to achieve smooth operation, 24 hours a day - 7 days a week, without any disconnection, managed switches are used which provide RSTP to recover the link within a short time period in case of failure of any node. It is extremely important that the plant floor is in continuous operation to meet production requirements.
