The switch offers a total of 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports of which eight can be expanded to fiber optic connections as combo ports with SFP modules. A total of 16 copper ports offer PoE/PoE+ functionality with which the terminal devicesconnected can be supplied with electricity economically and without additional cabling work.
The fanless switch is operated with a voltage in the range 24..57 VDC and is usedin the extended operating temperature range of -40..+75°C. With its compact package size of 1 U, it also has two alarm inputs and outputs, for example for cabinet monitoring or integrating a sensor/actuator.
The Profi Line rack switch was designed for the greatest availability and shortest recovery times. Industrial ring structures can be established both via SFP ports or with copper connections. In the event of failure, a special mechanism detects a fault on a network node or interruption of the line and ensures automatic reconfiguration of the network within milliseconds.
The switch operating system, firmware and configuration data are saved on a SD card. If a switch ever needs to be replaced, the existing SD card is simply inserted in the new device which automatically accepts all the settings.
