Unmanaged Switches

Unmanaged Switches from Weidmüller are cost-effective ways of gaining a foothold in the world of Industrial Ethernet. They enable users to set up network infrastructures for industrial applications simply and quickly.

ECO-Line

If all you want to do is connect a small application, ECO-Line switches are easy to install and are an inexpensive alternative to more advanced components!

ECO-Line from Weidmüller is the affordable way to get started in the field of industrial Ethernet. The line comprises a 5-port version, also available as a flat version, and an 8-port version in a robust housing.

• Protection class: IP20
• Operating temperature: 0°C ... 60°C
• Autonegotiation
• Autocrossing

Advanced Line Unmanaged Switches

Weidmüller’s unmanaged switches are the perfect solution for harsh industrial environments.

Weidmüller’s Advanced Line unmanaged switches consist of between 6 and 24 segments with RJ45 copper and an optional SC or ST fibre-optic cable port in a very slimline design (44 mm). Switches with an SC port are also available as a single-mode version. With its robust aluminium enclosures, the Advanced Line is designed with industrial applications in mind.

• Protection class: IP20
• Operating temperature : -40°C ... +75°C
• Autonegotiation
• Autocrossing
• redundant voltage supply 
• Fault relay

WAVE-Line

The new WAVE Line is a success thanks to its uniform housing concept in which up to eight copper ports and one optional FO connection can be integrated.

The WAVE-Line products integrate 7 to 8 ports in confined spaces in acompact plastic housing. With integral features such as Autonegotiation and Autocrossing, and an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, the WaveLine is ideal for setting up Industrial Ethernet wherever you require a simplelink between your terminal equipment and your Ethernet system.

• Protection class: IP20
• Operating temperature: 0°C ... 60°C
• Autonegotiation
• Autocrossing (RJ45)
• Redundant voltage supply

Managed Switches

To set up decentralised industrial networks, many applications need a central switch in the electrical cabinet. This is where a managed high-performance switch from Weidmüller comes into play.

Advanced Line Managed Switches

We have no less than 12 different versions of our IE-SWxx-M managed switches: with 8, 16 and 24 ports (8/16/24 x RJ45). Each of these is optionally available with two fibre-optic ports for very long transmission sequences and/or highly electromagnetically charged environments (2 x SC and 2 x ST). SC models are also available as a single-mode version. With enclosures measuring just 45 millimetres, up to 24 segments can be connected.

All Weidmüller managed switches are protocol-transparent.Each individual port is a network segment and a collision domain in itself. All the ports can be directly connected with one another. The integrated software makes configuration very easy via an RS232 port with a terminal program or via a Web browser interface.

• Protection class: IP20
• Operating temperature: -40°C ... +75°C
• Configuration with integrated software
• Autonegotiation
• programmable fault relays
• redundant voltage supply 

IP67 Managed & Unmanaged Switches

Switches are the central components of a network. They prevent data collision, allow rapid packet switching and enhance data throughput.

Not only do Weidmüller switches meet the demands placed on the Fast Ethernet with its transmission rate of up to 100 Mbit/s, but they are also downward compatible with the older networks that have a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s (IEEE 802.3). They recognise the speed automatically.

Ethernet Network Routers

Routers

Routers are gateways between Ethernet networks! And a secure way to keep factory networks separate.

Industrial access routers are used for simple and secure connections between office networks or the Internet and production networks. Routers also purposefully separate different networks so that access to the production network linked to the router is only granted to authorised users. This means that a whole connected system can be covered by a single IP address, thus considerably reducing the level of installation work involved. A VPN (virtual private network) connection can then be established between two routers via the local Internet provider. Only authorised applications are admissible.

• 4 router versions available
• Integrated analogue modem, ISDN modem (IE-AR-10T models)
• Ethernet-to-Ethernet routing, serial Ethernet with external modem port for global access (IE-ARM-X models)
• Integrated firewall for high security level
• Easy browser-based configuration
• Robust metal housing (top hat rail or wall mounting)
• Functions such as dial on demand, callback, VPN or DNS available
• Extremely slimline housing
• Operation temperature: 0–60 °
