Smooth transition to an automated network system for a smart industrial application
Enable a complete connected network for efficient operation and reduce onsite personnel with full remote central network management
Utilize major industrial Ethernet protocol including ModBus TCP, EtherCAT, and TSN
Transforming a traditional production with smart manufacturing technology is always a challenge with existing digital networks, M2M communication and business strategy regarding investment in IIoT. We all know the importance of digital transformation, but how to realize it with the customer’s maximum benefit is the mission of PLANET.
For smart manufacturing, timing and precision are highly crucial. Verticals, such as manufacturing plants, production areas, factories, supply chains and other types of industrial applications, have an advanced network infrastructure that can greatly enhance the overall operational efficiency of their facilities.
When it comes to fast and precise transmission for factory automation, PLANET provides a complete smart manufacturing network solution to upgrade existing networks with IIoT functionality.
PLANET smart manufacturing application is one of its many Industrial Ethernet Solutions that provide highly reliable and smart solutions to ensure continuous and efficient operation for the IIoT environment. The Industrial Ethernet upgrades traditional, proprietary factory-floor networks to a high-performance and scalable architecture. PLANET provides a complete product portfolio that is compliant with major IE protocols such as EtherCAT, TSN, Modbus TCP and EN50155 for information level, control level, and device level in the Industrial Ethernet network.
Utilizing PLANET’s expertise in developing innovative networking for industrial applications, Slave I/O Module, Junction and Media Converter with EtherCAT functionality are available to enable high-speed communication and synchronization between industrial devices including sensors, switches, alarms, etc.
Streamline critical and non-critical data into one network transmission to enable efficient and precise data communication. This can significantly optimize the network that transmits data for automation, and eliminate the need to prioritize and delay certain data.
Implementing automation features to enable a smart manufacturing network can be efficiently done with your existing infrastructure. By utilizing PLANET’s Modbus Gateway and Serial Device Server, RS232/422/485 equipment can easily connect with new Ethernet operations.
PLANET provides a full suite of LoRa technology enabled devices to fully take advantage of the long range and low power nature of LoRa. By combining LoRa sensors, gateways and management system, the network will be able to easily collect big data information to be utilized in the AIoT network.
Will all the network protocol for EtherCAT, TSN, Modbus and Serial over Ethernet be able to operate within the same network?
PLANET network devices are able to work together no matter the protocol. Admin will have the ability to remotely manage and monitor all the connected devices from each protocol to ensure the network is operating properly and efficiently.
Can the network reach be expanded if the facility sees an expansion?
The EtherCAT network is an example where the utilization of PLANET EtherCAT Junction Slave, Media Converter and Slave Modules can easily extend not only the reach of the network with fiber optic connection but also use different topology base on the scale of the network facility.
A smart manufacturing network will require strong protection against potential threats, how will the solution implement cybersecurity?
PLANET continuously updates and implements the latest cybersecurity protection for mission-critical networks such as the inclusion of SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols for advanced threats.
