Conveyor and Production-Line Ethernet Access
VLAN-separated control vs video on managed switches along conveyors and crushing lines.
1. Scenario
Long conveyors run e-stop sensing and patrol video together—need managed industrial Ethernet.
2. Challenges
Control must not congest; fast port locate for maintenance; multi-segment interconnect.
3. Architecture
Cabinet 8GE+2/4SFP managed chain/ring; copper for PLC/IO/cameras.
4. Recommended Leagrid LGS2000 products
- LGS2000-8GE2GF-M: Managed Gigabit industrial switch: 8×GE copper + 2×GE SFP; VLAN/QoS/ring redundancy for intersection and shop-floor aggregation.
- LGS2000-8GE4GF-M: Managed Gigabit switch: 8×GE copper + 4×GE SFP for multi-direction fiber rings and multi-camera uplinks.
5. Deployment notes
Highest QoS for control VLAN; safety e-stop remains on the safety system; port descriptions include line IDs.
