In industrial environments, an industrial switch (wide temperature, vibration-resistant, DIN-rail) is used instead of an office switch. The key distinction is managed vs unmanaged.
- Unmanaged
- Simple, plug-and-play, small network
- Managed
- VLAN, redundancy, diagnostics, PROFINET
On PROFINET networks the switch must be PROFINET-certified and real-time (RT) capable; a standard switch can cause communication faults.
