The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches are well suited for harsh environments where the environment is really cold or really hot. These switches have been running for years with no issues even with degrees above 100 degrees and temperatures below 0 degrees. Outside environments are also well suited for the Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series Switches.

Great for getting started quickly and only for the tools you use. Scaling up is then fast and there is an extensive range of ready made apps that support industrial use cases. Connectivity to the OT layer for data collection and remote access is simplified and takes away much of the complexity in getting connected and surfacing data from machines or sensors.

  • An overview and drilldown into where attributes are used across the solution, such as in rules, dashboards and apps. This would make it easier to maintain and understand the potential impact of change.
  • Provide more detailed and insightful information when an app has changed so the end user knows what is new or different.
  • Quick and user-friendly app building tools to create user entry forms on dashboards that doesn't require Mendix or VFC.

The new IE-3100/Stratix 5200 WEBUI platform and the new IOX-XE firmware platform is a great improvement on the switch performance in the field.

These switches are suitable for small but weather intensive situations. Compared to the Cisco 9000 series these do perfect if you do not need a big amount of ports. We used the 9000 series in certain substations, but they are overkill. I have also seen a better performance compared to the 9000 series with the weather.
