IP67 switches reduce wiring and shorten cycle time for gun-changing applications.
In the automotive body manufacturing sector, a typical challenge of networking robotic cells is reducing cycle time, even though tool changes and camera data transmission are fast enough to align and correct the robot during operation. Furthermore, data flow must be secure, and the entire application must maintain the highest possible availability.
Fast data transmission is achieved through pass-through forwarding and the GBit backbone network.
The managed Ethernet switch TBEN-L-SE-M2 transmits data frames using cut-through forwarding technology, minimizing latency as data transmission begins immediately after the frame to be transmitted is determined. IP cameras can also be used to guide robots during operation, rather than for post-production quality checks. Furthermore, the switch features two Gbit ports , enabling the establishment of a high-speed backbone for fast data links to the controller.

Achieve high availability through network load monitoring and broadcast storm protection.
When a switch operates at its maximum performance, it is often not detected or detected too late. However, this state is critical to system availability, as it can easily lead to memory overload and network device failure. Integrated network load monitoring provides an overview of bandwidth redundancy for each port. To ensure that uncontrolled broadcast requests do not temporarily consume the entire network bandwidth, the switch integrates a " broadcast storm protection " feature.
VLANs , firewalls, and NAT routing ensure high network security.
Production and management networks can be isolated via Virtual Networks ( VLANs ). This facilitates better control over access permissions. In addition to the built-in firewall, the switch's NAT routing function further enhances security. This feature avoids IP address conflicts. Therefore, devices can be addressed via IP aliases, preventing tampering and unauthorized access.
