MICROSENS

The compact Ruggedized Micro Switches from MICROSENS are the ideal solution for the economical realisation of area-wide networks whose infrastructures do not justify the investment in Industrial Ethernet components, but do not get along with standard components. At the same time, they offer exactly the functions of Industrial Ethernet that are also required for WiFi coverage, star and ring topology, as well as decentralized intelligence for increased reliability. If the central connection fails, the Ruggedized Mirco Switch switches off the Power-over-Ethernet supply and thus the connected access point. In this way, the end devices can automatically connect to another access point and maintain communication. In connection with a central WiFi controller, only the access points are authenticated as network devices, then the entire data stream of the end devices is transmitted via tunneling and managed by the central WiFi controller. Complex, time-consuming authentication of each indivi...
