Switch Ethernet Industriel Managé

Industrially hardened, managed Ethernet switches provide reliable, robust performance across complex networks in a wide range of control and monitoring applications. Industrial-control applications require complex networks with high data-rates and time sensitive devices whilst harsh environments on the plant floor create vibration, heat and other hazards. Molex Ethernet switches meet the 3 main challenges posed by industrial Ethernet applications: determinism, robustness and integration. Determinism is the assurance that control communication will occur in a set period of time. Delivery of information in the prescribed time requires the use of industrialized protocols: EtherNet/IP*, PROFINET† or Modbus TCP‡. Metal enclosures, IP30 grade and wide temperature operation are the solution for tougher industrial applications requiring cost effective network solution. Small size enclosure provides easy integration inside cabinet while no configuration required. All switches are equipped with auto MDI/MDI-X on all ports for simple connection to other switches and hubs. The switch interface provides high flexibility in managing traffic priorities, coupled with ease of access to diagnosis information and dash-board. Security is ensured per design and function like port enabling/disabling.
