How Important is Your Industrial Ethernet Connection?
Picture the scene, it's a chilly Saturday night and you are sitting down with your favourite people to binge a few episodes of the latest Netflix sensation. There may be pizza, something nice to drink, or a few nibbles - you get the idea.
You have been looking forward to some downtime all week, but your connection lets you down. You turn it
off and on again, but it's just not going to work. Somewhere, the data just isn't getting through. You get frustrated, and someone suggests a game of scrabble...
It's annoying (especially the Scrabble), but it's not the end of the world.
It's a completely different story if it happens in your business.
With the growth of the IIoT, Ethernet communication is more and more crucial to industrial machine networks. If you rely on Ethernet Communication within your manufacturing business, especially in
real-time applications, datapacket loss can mean your data becomes incomplete or unusable, causing you huge problems.
You don't need us to tell you that it's important to ensure the data being transmitted arrives at its
destination without any errors or loss.
Only as Strong as the Weakest Link.
Most Engineers spend their time selecting the very best Ethernet hardware, spending time researching the different options to make sure they get the right kit. Then they let the side down with poor quality cables and connectors. It's a fact that your Ethernet system is only as strong as the weakest link.
Even the fastest hardware is going to struggle if you use poor specification cable, or if your connectors are not fitted correctly. In most cases, it's actually the passive devices such as cable and connectors which ultimately determine your network performance.
"But I'm busy, I don't have time to spend researching simple cable and connectors for my machine application". That's fair enough, and that is why you need to take a look at Lutze!
