Antaira’s M12 series of industrial switches do all of the below, as well as provide dust and water tight connections allowing the industrial Ethernet switch to be mounted in places where few other devices would survive. While this solution would run all on its own, a wireless radio can be added to the solution to transmit the general health of the vehicle when it returns to the barn for refueling or recharging.
Challenge
- Factory environment with harsh conditions
- High-speed connectivity is required to move the data from the cameras to the processor back to the actuators performing the various tasks
- Vibration and shock resistance helps maintain a working system when rolling across farm fields all day
- M12 connectors keep dust and water away from sensitive connections
- Creating a partnership so critical information is quickly available for the design of the network
- Having a network switch that doesn’t need to be in an enclosure for protection allows for quick maintenance or design change
- PoE provided by the Ethernet switch to power the cameras - special low voltage industrial PoE switches must be used
Solutions
- Harsh environment industrial grade networking devices
- IP67 rated switch
- 10 gigabit fiber
- Vibration and shock resistance
- High working temperature design
- 12-24 VDC input power
- Wireless connectivity when back at the barn
