Allied Telesis IE340 Series switches are the perfect solution for access connectivity in industrial automation and control networks.

Their low latency, high availability and high capacity enables seamless integration with industrial applications, supporting multiple transmission streams. They are hardened to withstand difficult environmental conditions, such as electromagnetic noise, wide-ranging temperatures, high humidity, and vibration.

The IE340 Series provides network infrastructure for many vertical markets and related applications, such as:

• Building automation Facility management including security and access control, fire protection, energy management, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning, and lighting control.
• Cranes & Logistics Control of automated stacker cranes and other devices that boost the efficiency of dynamic warehouse environments.
• Industrial automation and process control Interconnection of machines, IoT devices, sensors, and more. Instant communication between systems and people enables improved efficiency and resilience in manufacturing environments.
• Marine control and monitoring Seamless communication for vessels such as ships, high speed light water craft, and offshore units.
• Railway transportation signalling and telecommunications Control signaling and telecommunication for improved safety, risk management, operating efficiency, and signage.
• Roadway transportation traffic control Adaptive traffic control, telematics, and preventive maintenance.
• Smart cities Public space and urban infrastructure that provides safety and security, parking management, environmental metering, lighting, and information kiosks.
• Wastewater treatment Industrial sewage treatment plants for efficient and reliable water purification. Control systems ensure process optimization by intelligent control, regulation, and monitoring.

IT/OT convergence

Improve productivity and decisionmaking by integrating your operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Use the intelligence of Industry 4.0 to collect, analysis, and manage all your data in real time.

Micro-segmentation security

Reduce the attack surface of your OT network and have granular control of device-to-device communications with micro-segmentation. The IE340 Series supports SDN-based microsegmentation solutions for more security, maintainability, and visibility than traditional security models.

Network automation and orchestration

Powerful automation options include Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ Plus (AMF Plus), and an open standard-based northbound API.

For easy integration into complex networks comprising physical, virtual, and multi-vendor devices, the IE340 Series features:

• NETCONF/RESTCONF + YANG data modelling for network automation.
• OpenFlow v1.3 for Software Defined Networking (SDN) orchestration.
