Industrial managed switches for PROFINET and Ethernet/IP applications

Industrial Lean Managed Switches - Cost-effective management


These compact devices are available as dedicated twisted pair versions with five or eight ports and with one or two glass fiber interfaces in a multi-mode or single mode version.

With single mode fibers, cable lengths of up to 36,000 m are possible. They support manufacturer-independent redundant network structures using RSTP, as well as full network management using SNMP.

An integrated web server offers comprehensive configuration and diagnostic mechanisms.

Managed Compact Switches (MCS) are compact block switches. They are available from Phoenix Contact in two versions:
  1. Dedicated 10/100 twisted pair version with 16 ports
  2. Versions with two glass fiber interfaces (100Base-FX multi-mode) and 14 twisted pair ports

All twisted pair ports have auto negotiation and auto crossing functions. Like MMS, the MCS are suitable for PROFINET RT and Ethernet IP applications and redundant network structures with fast switch-over times.




Industrial Smart Managed Compact Switches - Gigabit Ethernet at all ports


Smart Managed Compact Switches are the first industrial DIN rail switches to support Gigabit Ethernet on all ports. "Smart" stands for Switches with Management for Automation and Realtime.

As part of the AUTOMATIONWORX system, the infrastructure components offer the necessary realtime properties for PROFINET IO-RT. 

At the same time, they provide the bandwidth required for the integration of IT realtime services, such as video or Voice-over-IP in automation networks.
