Our Industrial USB Hubs primarily feature USB ports. They are often paired with industrial devices that rely on serial interfaces for communication. This ensures seamless integration of both new and older equipment. Therefore, improving efficiency and reducing the need for costly upgrades.
Where Industrial USB Hubs Are Used:
- Manufacturing & Automation: These hubs connect modern computers or controllers with legacy industrial devices. Such as sensors and PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), enhancing control and monitoring capabilities on the production floor.
- Transportation Systems: In public transport or logistics, they facilitate integration of various USB-based systems. Such as GPS units, data loggers, and communication devices with legacy serial components.
- Data Centres: Industrial USB hubs offer reliable port expansion for servers. Therefore, allowing connections to diagnostic tools, firmware upgrade devices, and older serial interface components.
- Security & Surveillance: In rugged environments, USB hubs enable connections to multiple surveillance cameras or storage devices, even when integrating with older serial-based systems.
Key Features of Industrial USB Hubs:
- Legacy Device Compatibility: They allow modern systems to communicate with industrial or legacy devices that still rely on serial interfaces. Therefore, providing a practical and cost-effective solution for hybrid setups.
- Rugged and Durable Design: Built to endure extreme conditions such as high/low temperatures, vibrations, and electrical noise. Lastly, making them suitable for tough industrial environments.
- Multiple USB Ports: Available in a variety of configurations with multiple USB ports (USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1), offering flexibility for data transfer and device connectivity.
- Power Over USB (PoUSB): Some models provide power delivery, allowing connected devices to receive power directly via the USB connection. Therefore, minimising cabling needs.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for use in harsh environments. Operate in both extreme heat and cold, ideal for industries like mining or remote outdoor installations.
- EMI Protection: Designed to shield against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transfer in environments with significant electrical noise.
In Australia, Metromatics‘ industrial USB hubs are particularly valuable in sectors like mining, transportation, and utilities, enabling smooth communication between modern USB systems and legacy devices that use serial communication. Their rugged design ensures reliable performance even in extreme conditions.
