Automation Island Network Solutions

The Industrial Networking Standard ANSI/TIA-1005 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Industrial Premises defines “Automation Islands” as the space in immediate proximity to the industrial machinery itself. Networks located in industrial automation environments face a set of unique challenges not found in controlled, office environments. As automation networks utilize many different types of machines and motors, excessive EMI is often present. Exposure to liquids, corrosive materials and fine particulates are also common. To address these demanding conditions, L-com offers a wide selection of industrial connectivity products that feature materials and construction that stand up to these harsh islands of automation environments.
