Weidmüller also offers an external Backup and Restore module for
smooth operation even in the event of errors. This module provides
a backup of the device configuration, making sure that reconfiguration
can be performed directly on the device if required. This means
that the configuration can be backed up without a network or a
computer. A replacement device can therefore be put back into
operation directly on site.
A high level of flexibility
Model variants for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit and PoE (Power over
Ethernet – for the remote supply of the periphery) as well as the
options to have between 5 and 24 ports ensure a high level of flexibility,
meaning that there is the perfect device for every application.
Partner in industrial connectivity
As experienced experts we support our customers and
partners around the world with products, solutions and
services in the industrial environment of power, signal and
data. We are at home in their industries and markets and
know the technological challenges of tomorrow. We are
therefore continuously developing innovative, sustainable
and useful solutions for their individual needs. Together we
set standards in Industrial Connectivity. The Weidmüller
Group owns manufacturing plants, sales companies and
representatives in more than 80 countries.
All Ethernet switches have an industrial IP30 metal enclosure with
integrated clip-in base for easy installation on the terminal rail
(TS35). In addition to its simple installation, the switch is also characterised
by its large temperature range. The switches can be used
in environments from –40 to +75 °C. This allows for operation both
within production and in the field.
The right solution for every application
Depending on the particular version, the switches are fitted with a
number of combinable copper or fibre-optic interfaces, meaning that
different media can be used and large distances covered. Whether
multi-mode or single-mode, 500 metre or anywhere up to 20 km – the
SFP slots help to guarantee flexible use. With the modular port assembly,
the transceiver simply needs to be plugged in. It is therefore
also possible to change the technology at a later point in time.
For simple or complex tasks
The Advanced Line switches are available in the “Full Managed”
and “Lite Managed” versions. The Full Managed switches are particularly
well-suited for use in networks with complex tasks and
particular requirements regarding redundancy, secured data transfer
or the monitoring of individual ports. The Lite Managed switches
are the economical alternative for simple tasks in networks with
little demand for managed processes.
