These are the advantages

• User management via LDAP and RADIUS
• PROFINET S2 system redundancy
• Extended SFP diagnostics

FL SWITCH 1000NT unmanaged switches

Ethernet switches for harsh environments

The FL SWITCH 1000NT product family is being extended to include new versions with an extended temperature range as well as approvals for the process industry and maritime applications.

These are the main features

• The switches offer a robust metal housing, a high port density, and an overriding prioritization of data traffic for automation protocols.
• With the robust housing, the FL SWITCH 1000NT series has a high immunity, making it suitable for use in demanding applications.
• Select models also include SFP ports that provide customers with greater flexibility depending on the connectivity and distance requirements of their application.

These are the advantages

• Metal construction: -40°C ... +75°C
• Supply voltage: 9 V DC ... 32 V DC, 18 V AC ... 30 V AC
• Conformal coating variants available soon

Unmanaged Switches

Industrial Unmanaged Switches from Phoenix Contact excel with variable numbers of ports and various designs. We provide Unmanaged Switches with a variety of functions, depending on the application:

• Switches for DIN rails in 19″ format and for wall mounting (IP67)

• FO ports (SC, ST/BFOC, SFP)
• Approvals for maritime applications (GL/DNV, BV, ABS, LR, RINA) and the process industry (ATEX, IECEx)
• PROFINET conformance class B
• Functions for improving failsafe performance (large tree support, fast ring detection, LACP)
• Security functions (RADIUS authentication, MAC-based port security)

Managed Switches for stringent requirements

For complex applications, the Managed Switches of the 3000 and 4000 series combine comprehensive diagnostic, performance, and safety functions.

• Fast Ethernet switches and Gigabit switches
• Versions with extended temperature range
• DIN rail and rack mounting
• Copper, FO, or SFP ports
• Extended ring redundancy: switch-over times of just 15 ms in the event of an error

• PoE versions with up to 60 W per port and PoE-specific configuration options
• Versions in accordance with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
• Versions with ATEX and IECEx approval

Managed Switches with real-time capability for Time Sensitive Networking

The FL SWITCH TSN 2300 devices are the first Managed Switches from Phoenix Contact for Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). In addition to using them in classic applications, the innovative TSN technology also allows you to realize real-time-capable Ethernet networks. The TSN mechanisms increase the performance, robustness, and availability of current networks.

PROFINET switches

Thanks to an integrated PROFINET device, the 2200, 2300, SMCS, and GHS PROFINET switches are ideal for use in PROFINET class B networks.

• MRP redundancy for fast switch-over within 200 ms
• Fast device replacement and network topology monitoring thanks to LLDP
• Integration into the engineering: complete configuration and diagnostics from the PROFINET controller

IRT Managed Ethernet Switches provide the ideal scope of functions for PROFINET class C networks.

• Fast Ethernet switches
• Temperature range: -25°C ... +60°C
• DIN rail mounting (IP20) and wall mounting (IP67)
• Integrated ERTEC technology for PROFINET applications
• Prioritized PROFINET data transmission
• Diagnostics for FO paths

NAT switches

Thanks to Network Address Translation, the 2000 series NAT switches allow easy connection to the higher-level network for machines or systems with the same IP address range. These NAT switches combine switching and routing in a single DIN rail device.
