Indu-Sol

Indu-Sol says with its new PROmesh B8 industrial switch, a high performance and reliable switch has arrived on the market to address the price and performance-savvy machine and plant builders’ sectors. The PROmesh B8 is simultaneously PROFINET and Ethernet IP certified, which makes product procurement, integration and maintenance significantly simpler for companies that operate globally.

The managed switch saves valuable time and personnel resources for the installation and commissioning, as the devices can be configured/ parameterised automatically
