Ethernet Direct Industrial Managed Switches Integrates Perfectly With SCADA & HMI System

Ethernet Direct Corporation has launched a series of Industrial Ethernet Switches that works perfectly in OPC and Device Communication Technologies for the Industrial Automation market.

OPC (OLE for Process Control) is an industry standard that defines a method of exchanging real time automation data among PC-based clients. The application of OPC standard interface makes interoperability possible between automation, control applications, field systems/devices as well as business applications. OPC is now widely accepted in the industrial communication standard and Ethernet Direct offers OPC server that can communicate data among various PLCs on the factory floor, RTUs in the field, HMI stations and software applications on the desktop.

A typical application can be found in a Wastewater treatment plant wherein Ethernet Direct attained proven applications. The indoor facilities include PLC, PH meters, bar screens, servers, computers and other intelligent devices. In order to maintain the operation of these varieties of devices, it is critical to deploy networking devices and a proven solution, capable of integrating all these in a single high automated, fault tolerant and highly reliable network

A SCADA/HMI system is a very important tool in factory automation. It refers to an industrial control system and industrial processes including those of manufacturing, production, power generation, fabrication, refining and others may run in continuous & repetitive modes. With the integration of Ethernet Direct’s Industrial Ethernet switches to SNMP OPC Server 320, any production equipment in a factory can collect and control operating information via a SCADA/HMI system.

Ethernet Direct now offers IntraVUE and SCADA/HMI group management solutions to offer customers a value-added network.
