Ethernet switches allow all devices to transmit simultaneously, without collision. This is essential for enabling deterministic delivery of time-critical information. Switches are intelligent devices, keeping track of device locations; this allows messages to be transmitted only from the necessary port, improving performance of the network.
BradCommunications Industrial Ethernet switches are available for both on-machine and in-cabinet applications.
In-Cabinet: Series 200 - Unmanaged
5-, 8- and 9-Port Formats
Features:
5-, 8- and 9-port unmanaged
Plug and play - no setup required
Auto-sensing, auto-polarity and auto-crossover
DIN rail or panel mount
Redundant, dual DC power inputs
In-Cabinet: Series 300 - Managed
5- and 8-Port Formats
Direct-Link Industrial Ethernet managed switches are available with many features to suite your specific requirements. Managed switches are equipped with IGMP snooping, VLAN and QoS for prioritization and provide the ideal platform for your Industrial Ethernet network. Redundant ring network technology, advanced network management, easy configuration and robust mechanical formats are all supported.
Features:
5- and 8-port managed switches
DIN rail or panel mount
Redundant, dual DC power inputs
Support for up to 2048 MAC addresses
SNMP agent v1 and v2
Message filtering to stop multicast storms (IGMP snooping)
VLAN (port & tag based) for traffic segregation
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for fault-tolerant loops
Priority queuing for real-time performance
RMON and port mirroring for diagnostics
Configuration via secure (https) web interface, Telnet / SSH (network), terminal (RS232) or SNMP (v1, v2, v3)
DRL-3H Series 18 ports
NEW! 16- and 18-Port Formats
Features:
16-port version has 16 copper RJ45 ports (auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps)
18-port version has 16 copper RJ45 ports and 2 ports which can be configured as copper RJ45 or fiber optic (auto-detecting 10/100/1000 Mbps)
DIN rail or direct panel mounting
Auto-polarity protection and auto-cross-over for quick and easy plug & play connections
High performance managed Industrial Ethernet switch has advanced features and real security
Dual (redundant) power inputs with industrial spike and surge protection
On Machine
For Harsh Environments
The machine mount switch is designed to allow switching in harsh environments without the need for an enclosure. It can be mounted directly on the machine.
