The managed PROFINET-Switch supports PROFINET according to Conformance Class B and offers transmission security through ring redundancy as an MRP client.
One of the most important functions of a PROFINET-Switch is the prioritizing of the PROFINET frame traffic in the machine network. The managed switch can differentiate whether the frame is a web query, an FTP file transmission, a media stream, or a PROFINET frame. In the case of a high transmission load, the important frames can thus be prioritized in order to prevent frame losses. With a GSDML file you can integrate the switch into your automation environment in the usual way. The supported PROFINET protocols, such as LLPD, DCP, or even diagnosis alarms, can be easily configured and administered.
With its protection class IP67 and temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C, the PROFINET Switch 8 Port, IP67 is ideal for use in rough industrial conditions. The product is ideally suited for installation without a control cabinet and therefore offers a wide range of applications.
