NEW REAL-TIME ETHERNET RING SWITCH - FAULT TOLERANT ETHERNET FOR DETERMINISTIC SYSTEMS
19 April 2005 - ATS International BV
| As an official SIXNET distributor ATS is pleased to announce that SIXNET has introduced the 5 and 9 Port Ethernet Switch, with real-time fault tolerant rings, improving functionality, reliability and performance through fast, fault tolerant network redundancy and other features especially suitable in critical real-time systems. |
SIXNET Real-Time Ring Switches provide prioritised message delivery (traffic prioritisation), real-time fault tolerant network redundancy and are self-configurable for instant plug and play operation. These features improve network utilisation and delivery of real-time data so the user can set priority assignments. The new ET-5RS EtherTRAK Real-Time Ring Switch provides a recovery time of less than 5 msec per hop and allows over 50 switches to be connected in a ring, making it especially suitable for real-time, deterministic control and distributed systems. Features of the new SIXNET Ring Switch include real-time fault-tolerant rings, real-time traffic prioritisation (QoS & CoS) , Managed Switch features, reliability and long-term support, and they are certified for harsh industrial environments. Key advantages are: surviving network breaks, deterministic performance, avoiding complexity of Managed Switches, priority queuing, connect independent rings together, mix Real-Time Rings and Managed Switches and reliability. SIXNET Switches are UL, CSA and CE certified, have marine and hazardous ratings, MIL-STD-1275 surge protection and a –40 to 85º operation temperature range. There are several Real-Time Ring Switch models available, offering different combinations of copper and fibre ports, for connections up to 40km or more.
