Switch applications

The switch connects devices and sections of an industrial Ethernet network. Compare the required ports, communication speed, power supply and mounting space. The complete order number identifies the exact version.

For optical connections, match the speed, fibre type, connectors and link length at both ends. SFP or SFP+ slots require suitable transceivers; confirm whether these are included in the offered unit.

When replacing a device, compare the complete order number, connections, mounting and configuration. An identical port count alone does not prove interchangeability.

The managed version lets you configure network functions to suit the installation. Before replacement, back up the available configuration and check port settings, IP addressing and the redundancy functions in use.

PROFINET IO diagnostics integrate the switch into automation network monitoring. Match the GSDML, firmware and configuration to the actual project.

Port mirroring helps connect an analyser and assess communication. Check the source port settings and the capacity of the monitoring link.

VLANs provide logical network segmentation. MRP provides a redundant ring when supported and correctly configured by the connected devices.
