Powerful features and maximum flexibility
To meet the growing demand for industrial Ethernet switching requirements, Schneider Electric has added 16 new managed switches, three fiber-mode modules and a USB back-up adapter to the Telemecanique ConneXium™ switch line. OEMs and industrial network designers looking to employ flexible solutions on machines, or within their plant floor environment, will find the expanded switch line provides cost-effective options to meet system-specific requirements.

In addition, ConneXium Ethernet switches support both SNMP and Web-based management for faster start-up and a user-friendly Web-based interface from any browser. A choice of security parameters by MAC and IP address improves individual port security.

Key advantages of the new ConneXium Ethernet switches include:

• Gigabit speed technology that allows the construction of faster backbones, greatly increasing the bandwidth in heavily congested applications.
• Complete solutions that can be created to include other IP67 or IP20 I/O and Ethernet devices.
• A choice of smaller, higher density and more feature-rich designs that meet every system requirement.
• Improved management features that provide enhanced port security, topology discovery, and easier configuration setup.
• Automatic detection of the topology of system LANs allows for calling up valuable information form any network management station.

ConneXium rugged IP67 Ethernet Switch
In order to meet Ethernet switching requirements for demanding applications in harsh environments, Schneider Electric offers a direct-mount IP67 rated Ethernet switch to meet these needs. This product supports OEM and Industrial designers looking to employ industrially rugged switches directly onto machines or within their plant floor environment.
