Lean managed switches support Ethernet/IP
If you want to implement your Ethernet network in a manageable yet economical manner, the lean managed switches from the Factory Line product range of Phoenix Contact is just the option for you.
The new Firmware 2.0 is now available for these industrial switches; it supports application in Ethernet/IP networks requiring multicast filtering.
Lean managed switches - for cost-effective creation of manageable Ethernet networks in an automation environment.
Features
Lean managed switches - suitable for the expanded temperature range as well: -40°C to +70°C
- Intelligent multicast filtering through IGMP snooping
- Operation without routers through integrated querier function
- In this manner, multicast groups can be filtered in the switch dynamically and automatically
- As a result, multicast data currents can neither spread unchecked in the network nor can they affect the performance of the network
- Port-related monitoring and diagnostic functions
-
- Quick and easy acquisition of the data packet distribution and the port load
- Visualization using the integrated web server
- Port mirroring for writing if service becomes necessary
- Configurable floating alarm contact
The compact switches are available as a pure Twisted pair version with eight ports in 10/100 Mbps or with four Twisted pair and two glass fiber interfaces 100BASE-FX in either multimode or single mode design.
The lean managed switches support non-proprietary redundant network structures through RSTP as well as a full network through SNMP.
