How Industrial Ethernet Switch Works?
Industrial Ethernet switches operate on the principles of packet switching, which is a method of data transmission that breaks up data into small packets and forwards them to their destination through the most efficient path. This contrasts with traditional Ethernet hub setups, where all devices on the network share the same bandwidth, leading to congestion and performance issues.
When a device connected to the industrial switch sends data, the switch's MAC address filtering mechanism analyzes the data packet's destination MAC address. This unique identifier is assigned to each device on the network, allowing the switch to determine which port to forward the packet to. Once the destination port is identified, the switch replicates the packet and sends it to the appropriate device.
Omnitron Industrial Ethernet Switches Applications
Common applications for Omnitron Industrial Ethernet Switches include:
- Industrial automation: Omnitron Industrial Ethernet Switches are used to connect industrial devices such as PLCs, HMIs, and motor drives.
- Manufacturing automation: Omnitron Industrial Ethernet Switches are used to connect manufacturing equipment such as robots, conveyor belts, and CNC machines.
- Utility networks: Omnitron Industrial Ethernet Switches are used to connect smart grid devices such as meters, sensors, and control systems.

Dual Device Mode Application
Omnitron industrial switches support Dual Device mode, an advanced feature that enables the switch to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. This is useful when two distinct network domains share a single network distribution location.
The application below demonstrates a scenario where the quality control and manufacturing networks share a single hub distribution location. Using the two uplinks and the Dual Switch mode facilitates using a single industrial switch driving the Quality Control and the Manufacturing devices while maintaining isolation between the networks.
Daisy-Chain and Ring Topology Network Application
This application demonstrates the daisy chaining and ring capabilities of the industrial switches. In this application, each RuggedNet switch establishes a connection with its neighboring switches through its uplink ports, eventually closing the ring. The RuggedNet industrial switches provide connectivity between the workstations and the router.
This network architecture, combined with ring protection protocols such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) or Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), facilitates a highly resilient network required in mission-critical applications.
Omnitron Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches
RuggedNet managed Ethernet and PoE switches have a built-in web interface that can be viewed through most web browsers.
Omnitron’s Ethernet and PoE switches can be remotely configured using the IP-based web management interface. The IP-based web management can be accessed through any of the Ethernet RJ-45 or uplink ports and facilitates the configuration and real-time operation monitoring of each port.
The web management software provides intuitive and easy-to navigate menu options, and assists network managers with:
- Remote Configuration and Monitoring
- Detailed PoE Port Status
- Smart PD alive heartbeat check
- Individual port PoE power reset
- PoE power scheduling for security and energy saving
- Text and Email Notifications
- Easy firmware updates
