For demanding applications, the Managed Switches from the 3000 and 4000 series combine comprehensive diagnostic, performance, and safety functions. They also offer redundancy switch-over times of just 15 ms and user-friendly application features. The Industrial Ethernet Switches support a range of IEEE standards, making them ideal for use in complex networks. The Managed Switches from the 3000 series offer a comprehensive portfolio with 10/100 Mbps connections. The 4000 series also features two Gigabit ports for connection to a higher-level network.

If you want to utilize all the advantages of a PROFINET network, you need Managed Switches that are specifically optimized for PROFINET. Thanks to integrated PROFINET devices, our 2200 and 2300 series, SMCS, and GHS PROFINET switches are ideal for use in PROFINET Class B networks. Thanks to MRP, they support a fast switch-over time that is within 200 ms. Furthermore, LLDP allows your network topology to be determined automatically. IRT Managed Ethernet Switches provide the ideal scope of functions for PROFINET Class C networks. Thanks to integrated ERTEC technology, they offer optimum real-time properties and support proactive network maintenance.

The Managed Switches from the 7000 series are particularly suitable for use in EtherNet/IP™ networks. DIN rail switches enable a particularly high level of network availability, since they support the EtherNet/IP™-specific DLR redundancy mechanism with a switch-over time of less than 3 ms. Furthermore, network data loads are reduced thanks to the intelligent filtering of network telegrams using multicast and IGMP snooping. Incorporate Fast Ethernet and Gigabit switches directly into the engineering thanks to CIP, and configure and diagnose your network directly in the control system.

The Power over Ethernet versions of the 4000 series Managed Switches supply your PoE-capable end devices (powered devices, PD) with data and power via a single cable. Alongside the standard functions of the 4000 series, they feature additional PoE-specific configuration options such as PoE scheduling and PoE watchdog. Thanks to the high power budget of 60 watts per port, the industrial PoE switches are suitable for the use of PoE-operated high-power devices including PoE++ cameras.

The 3000E (DIN rail switches) and the 4800E (for 19" cabinets) Managed Switches are particularly suitable for use in energy systems and meet the stringent requirements of standards IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613. They provide round-the-clock reliable operation under extreme environmental conditions thanks to their very high immunity to electromagnetic and electrostatic interference, extended temperature range, and extreme shock and vibration resistance.

For higher network stability and network security, it is advisable to divide the network into several subnets. The modular Layer 3 GHS switches enable several subnets to be connected to the production network or the higher-level company network. Thanks to Network Address Translation, the NAT switches enable easy connection to the higher-level network for machines or systems with the same IP address range.
