Switches
Switches provide determinism and throughput required for control applications.
Industrial-rated switches are recommended for connecting computers and other
devices to each other and to higher-level networks in the network reference
architecture. Ethernet switches perform the following:
•
Operate in Full-duplex mode to eliminate collisions
•
Include managed switch features for advanced network functionality
