Routers and Layer 3 switches for connecting automation networks to the higher-level company network
You can use industrial routers and Layer 3 switches from Phoenix Contact to integrate machines, production systems or entire subnetworks into your higher-level company network.
Your advantages
- Optimum network structure, thanks to segmentation via Layer 3 switches
- Highly flexible connection of machines to the production network irrespective of the address range, thanks to various different NAT mechanisms
- Redundant connection of systems with the same IP address ranges to higher-level networks
- Connection of multiple subnetworks via various different types of media, thanks to Layer 3 function and wide range of media
NAT switches for integrating systems with the same IP address ranges
If identical machines are operated in parallel in a network, each machine must be configured individually. This is the only way to integrate them into the higher-level communication network. With NAT (Network Address Translation), you can operate entire production cells with the same IP address space – without having to configure the machines individually.
Our NAT switches combine the properties of a 2000 series Managed Switch with those of a highly flexible NAT router – in a single DIN rail device.
Segmentation via Layer 3 switches
Design extensive and complex networks by means of network segmentation. Thanks to VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), the modular Layer 3 GHS switch can be used for redundant routing between various subnetworks, ensuring efficient and cost-effective communication. The Gigabit switch supports routing to all ports and, thanks to its modular design, satisfies the port requirements of industrial applications. As such, port-specific routing can be operated up to 28 times. Furthermore, the Ethernet switch supports many protocols and standards.
