Innovative Industrial TSN Ethernet Switch Ensures Time-Sensitive Data Delivery

The new PLANET TSN-6325-8T4S4X Industrial-grade Layer 3 Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Managed Ethernet Switch, with 8 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports, 4 1G/2.5GBASE-X SFP ports, and 4 10GBASE-SR/LR SFP+ ports, addresses all levels of the industrial automation network, from the field bus to the factory backbone. It is designed for stable operation in harsh environments. Additionally, it ensures end-to-end, ultra-low latency transmission of high-priority communications.

The TSN-6325-8T4S4X can manage exceptionally high data rates in a secure topology connecting to a 5G NR base station, Wi-Fi6/6E wireless AP, or industrial backbone. It has 10Gbps fiber connections. The TSN-6325-8T4S4X can operate between -40 and 75 degrees Celsius while delivering non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput of up to 116Gbps. It makes it much easier to upgrade the industrial LAN to meet the rising bandwidth demands.

A Straightforward Route to an Infrastructure Compatible with the TSN

By utilizing IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) for time synchronization on all ports and Time-sensitive Networking (TSN) technology, PLANET TSN-6325-8T4S4X offers real-time, low-latency network communication for industrial automation, 5G NR networks, Industry 4.0, 4K/8K video streaming, and VR/AR gaming.

A comprehensive real-time communication system requires support for TSN IEEE standards, which the TSN-6325-8T4S4X provides. The IEEE 802.1AS-REV profile for time synchronization, the IEEE 802.1Qbv Enhancements for Scheduled Traffic, the IEEE 802.1Qbu Frame Preemption, the IEEE 802.3br Interspersing Express Traffic (IET), the IEEE 802.1Qci for per-stream filtering and policing (PSFP), and the IEEE 802.1CB frame replication and elimination for reliability (FRER) for seamless redundancy are a few of these.

With the TSN-6325-8T4S4X, there is no longer a need to separate information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) Ethernet networks, giving modern industrial automation systems a more pervasive method of synchronization and precise timing.

Networks for Industrial Computing Using the 1588 Time Protocol

For exact time synchronization of networks, the TSN-6325-8T4S4X includes IEEE 1588v2 PTP (Precision Time Protocol) with hardware-based time stamping and support for boundary clock, end to end, and peer to peer transparent clock modes. It supports timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet and MEF service delivery, making it perfect for telecom and carrier Ethernet applications.

High-bandwidth interfaces for a variety of applications using 10GBASE-X SFP+

Large data transmission can be performed more quickly because to the TSN-6325-8T4S4X's capacity to transmit data at a high speed of 10Gbps over fiber-optic cable.

The fiber-optic 10GBASE-X SFP+ interfaces support triple speeds, including 1000BASE-SX/LX, 2500BASE-X, and 10GBASE-SR/LR. As a result, the administrator can now choose the best SFP/SFP+ transceiver depending on the transmission distance or speed needed to expand the network effectively. Broad bandwidth and potent processing capability are offered by the TSN-6325-8T4S4X.

Critical Network Applications: Redundant Ring, Quick Recovery

The redundant ring technology supported by the TSN-6325-8T4S4X has strong, quick self-recovery capabilities that guard against disruptions and outside intrusions. It integrates cutting-edge ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching), Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customer's industrial automation network to improve system dependability and uptime in tough production conditions. The data connection recovery time in a straightforward ring network can be as quick as 10ms.

Routing Support at Layer 3

With the TSN-6325-8T4S4X, network administrators may easily increase network efficiency by manually specifying Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN static routing, the RIP (Routing Information Protocol), or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) settings, or by having these settings automatically configured.

By establishing a restriction on the number of hops permitted in a path from a source to a destination, the RIP can use the hop count as a routing statistic and avoid routing loops.

For autonomous systems based on link status, the OSPF is an internal dynamic routing protocol. The protocol employs the Shortest Path First algorithm to establish a route table based on the link state database it builds by exchanging link states among Layer 3 switches.

Effective Layer 2 Features

It is possible to program the TSN-6325-8T4S4X to do advanced Layer 2 switch management tasks such dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. The functioning of a high-speed trunk group with multiple ports and fail-over support is made possible by the TSN-6325-8T4S4X through the aggregation of supporting ports.

Using a Cybersecurity Network to Reduce Security Risks

To thwart cyberthreats and cyberattacks, the TSN-6325-8T4S4X has improved cybersecurity. To offer effective defense against cutting-edge attacks, it supports the SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols. The cybersecurity feature of the TSN-6325-8T4S4X protects the switch management and improves the security of the mission-critical network without adding any extra deployment cost or effort. It serves as a key point to transmit data over a long-distance fiber optic cable to customers' critical equipment in a business network.
