Industrial Ethernet switches – Industrial-strength Unmanaged and Managed Switches

Industrial Unmanaged Switches from Phoenix Contact excel with variable numbers of ports and various designs. We provide Unmanaged Switches with a variety of functions, depending on the application:

• Switches for DIN rails in 19″ format and for wall mounting (IP67)
• Up to 24 ports with copper, FO, or SFP connection
• Fast Ethernet and Gigabit switches
• Flat and slim design
• Robust metal housings and versions with protective coating (conformal coating)
• Signal contact for reporting problems with the power supply and link failures
• Versions with an extended temperature range (-40°C ... +75°C) and redundant power supply
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) versions with up to 30 watts per port
• PROFINET versions with PTCP filter
• Versions with industry-specific approvals (CE, UL, KC, ATEX, IECEx, DNV/GL, ABS, LR, BSH, BV)

The Managed Switches of the 2000 series provide a cost-effective range of standard functions and are extremely versatile.

• Fast Ethernet switches and Gigabit switches (incl. Jumbo Frame support)
• Unmanaged mode: network stability without configuration effort
• Multicast filters (IGMP snooping) to reduce the data load in the network
• Redundancy functions (RSTP, MRP) for failsafe networks
• Easy and flexible configuration

The 2200 and 2300 versions also feature

• An extended temperature range (-40°C ... +70°C), redundant power supply, and alarm output
• FO ports (SC, ST/BFOC, SFP)
• Approvals for maritime applications (GL/DNV, BV, ABS, LR, RINA) and the process industry (ATEX, IECEx)
• PROFINET conformance class B
• Functions for improving failsafe performance (large tree support, fast ring detection, LACP)
• Security functions (RADIUS authentication, MAC-based port security)

For complex applications, the ​Managed Switches​ of the 3000 and 4000 series combine comprehensive diagnostic, performance, and safety functions.

• Fast Ethernet switches and Gigabit switches
• Versions with extended temperature range
• DIN rail and rack mounting
• Copper, FO, or SFP ports
• Extended ring redundancy: switch-over times of just 15 ms in the event of an error
• Up to 64 VLANs, multicast filters, and trunking
• Security functions (user accounts, port security, IEEE 802.1x RADIUS authentication, HTTPS)
• PoE versions with up to 60 W per port and PoE-specific configuration options
• Versions in accordance with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
• Versions with ATEX and IECEx approval

The FL SWITCH TSN 2300 devices are the first Managed Switches from Phoenix Contact for Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). In addition to using them in classic applications, the innovative TSN technology also allows you to realize real-time-capable Ethernet networks. The TSN mechanisms increase the performance, robustness, and availability of current networks.

Thanks to an integrated PROFINET device, the 2200, 2300, SMCS, and GHS​ ​PROFINET switches​ are ideal for use in ​PROFINET​ ​class​ B networks.

• MRP redundancy for fast switch-over within 200 ms
• Fast device replacement and network topology monitoring thanks to LLDP
• Integration into the engineering: complete configuration and diagnostics from the PROFINET controller

IRT ​Managed Ethernet Switches​ provide the ideal ​scope of functions for ​PROFINET​ ​class​​ C networks.

• Fast Ethernet switches
• Temperature range: -25°C ... +60°C
• DIN rail mounting (IP20) and wall mounting (IP67)
• Integrated ERTEC technology for PROFINET applications
• Prioritized PROFINET data transmission
• Diagnostics for FO paths

​Thanks to ​Network Address ​​Translation​, the 2000 series NAT switches allow easy connection to the higher-level network for machines or systems with the same IP address range. These NAT switches combine switching and routing in a single DIN rail device.

• Fast Ethernet switch and Gigabit switch
• Versions with extended temperature range: -40°C … +70°C
• Versions with redundant power supply
• DIN rail mounting
• Various NAT mechanisms: 1:1 NAT, virtual NAT, IP masquerading, and port forwarding
• Static routing
• Free assignment of the eight ports as LAN and WLAN ports
• RSTP redundancy (WAN and LAN) and MRP redundancy (LAN)
• PROFINET conformance class A or B

Our most powerful switch is the modular GHS Managed Switch. Thanks to Gigabit data throughput and the optional layer 3 function, it is particularly suitable for use as an automation backbone and for connection to the higher-level company network.

• Gigabit switch
• Temperature range: -20°C ... +55°C
• Redundant power supply
• DIN rail mounting
• Four SFP ports and up to eight media modules (FO, polymer, or HCS technology, copper or Power over Ethernet)
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP): port-specific routing up to 28 times or operate multiple routers redundantly
• Easy configuration via display, SD card, web-based management, CLI commands, or via the FL NETWORK MANAGER software

Commission your network quickly and easily with the FL NETWORK MANAGER network management software. The software provides support for the following steps:

• Scanning an existing network
• IP assignment and device configuration
• Multi-device configuration
• Configuration file handling
• Firmware update
• SNMP scripting
