现场常见问题
Office switches put into a plant or mine often don't last a year. The fan pulls in mineral dust, the cabinet runs above 50°C, and power dips every time a large motor starts. Worse, PLCs and SCADA often sit on the same network as office PCs, so one ransomware email can stop the line.
OT networks need different things from IT. They run 24/7, must recover fast from a cut cable and live in hostile conditions. We use fanless DIN-rail industrial switches with wide temperature ratings, dual DC power inputs and an IP rating matched to each location.
Ring redundancy and segmentation
ERPS (ITU-T G.8032) rings are designed to recover in around 50 ms, and several vendor ring protocols are in the same range. Plain RSTP is slower and not a good fit for real-time control.
We separate OT from IT using the IEC 62443 zones-and-conduits model, with an industrial firewall or DMZ in between. Production data the office needs can flow out through the DMZ without anyone getting a direct path to a PLC.
What we do differently on Lao sites
- IP54/IP65 enclosures with filtered fans or cabinet coolers. At dusty mines the filters need cleaning monthly, so it goes into the maintenance plan.
- UPS or battery-backed DC power, because site power dips constantly.
- Fiber between nodes, not copper, so lightning has nothing to follow.
- Spare switches kept on site. Ordering from Thailand and clearing the border can take weeks.

常见问题
Can I use office switches in a plant?
In a clean air-conditioned room, yes. On the plant floor the fan sucks in dust and it was never built for 50°C. We've seen them fail within months.
Why separate IT and OT?
Ransomware that arrives in a staff email can reach HMI PCs and PLCs if they share a network. Separate them and if the office is hit, the plant keeps running.
Do you support Modbus TCP or PROFINET?
The Ethernet network carries them. PROFINET has its own switch and timing requirements, so we work with your automation integrator to get VLANs and QoS right.
