Industrial switches are generally used in places where the environment is relatively harsh, such as factories. In order to make industrial switches better, the design of the housing of industrial switches plays a vital role. The housing of industrial switches can better protect the use of industrial switches. , Then how can we choose a practical industrial switch shell? Next, the editor of JHA Technology will briefly explain to you what are the general requirements for the housing design of industrial switches? Let’s take a look!

The housing of industrial switches has two material structures, one is aluminum alloy profile, and the other is galvanized steel sheet. These two shell materials are used more in industry, and their corrosion resistance can meet the requirements of industrial sites. The difference is that the shell of aluminum alloy profile can reach IP40, and the industrial switch of two galvanized steel plate is IP30. The shell is also related to the heat dissipation of the switch, so when choosing an industrial switch, you need to ask about the shell of the industrial switch and then confirm the parameters, so that the industrial switch can better adapt to the project site.

While determining the use of industrial switches, customers must choose the switch according to the on-site use environment, and confirm the parameters with the manufacturer, industrial switches are important communication products that realize real-time transmission, so you must choose carefully. In addition, when we are choosing a suitable industrial switch, what influence factors should we consider?

1. Real-time
Data transmission often has a certain delay, so this factor must be taken into account when selecting products. In a standard factory automation system, the system generally takes no more than 10ms.

2. Compatibility
Industrial switches and other components should use standard TCP/IP protocol for communication. In any case, there is no compatibility problem between industrial switches and commercial switches.

3. Product reliability
In an industrial environment, reliability is of paramount importance. These factors to be considered generally include: hardware tolerance, installation methods, redundancy methods, fault diagnosis, etc.
