Industrial Communications

Industrial communication products provide reliable links via wireless, Ethernet, USB, or serial connections to your industrial process controllers or other devices. Communication products provide many benefits to modern industrial systems, a few of which include: 

• Coordinated control - Communication links between controllers can be used to create robust, modular control systems. Sharing data between separate operations enables each local controller to better contribute to the system's overall performance. Whether separated by feet or by miles, your controllers can access what's going on in the world around them. 
• Data sharing - Communication products can help your business run more efficiently by making use of valuable information stored within your process controllers. Many upstream business systems (ERP, MES, SCM, etc.) can benefit from knowing what the plant floor is doing.
• Remote support - Remotely access machine or process controllers for troubleshooting, configuring, updating, or monitoring the system. Whether it's your production facility or your controller in a customer's facility, having convenient and secure remote access ensures maximum production with minimal support costs.
• MAC Security (MACsec) - Select lean managed switches available with real-time encryption at line speed through hardware-based “Media Access Control Security” encryption (IEEE 802.1 AE, MACsec)
