Industrial PCs typically have dual LAN (Local Area Network) ports for several reasons: Network Redundancy and Reliability: In industrial environments, network reliability and stability are very important. By using dual LAN ports, industrial PCs can connect to different networks at the same time through two different network interfaces to provide redundant backup.
If one network fails, the other can continue to provide network connectivity, ensuring connectivity and stability for industrial equipment. Data transfer speed and load balancing: Some industrial applications require large amounts of data transfer, such as industrial automation or real-time monitoring.
By using dual LAN ports, industrial PCs can utilize both network interfaces to transfer data simultaneously, thereby improving data transfer speed and load balancing. This allows for more efficient processing of large amounts of real-time data and improves the performance of industrial equipment.
Network isolation and security: In an industrial environment, security is critical. By using dual LAN ports, industrial PCs can be network isolated by connecting different networks to different security zones. This prevents network attacks or malware from spreading and improves the security of industrial equipment.
In summary, dual LAN ports provide network redundancy, data transfer speed and load balancing, network isolation and security to meet the requirements of complex network needs in industrial environments.
