Industrial Ethernet Switch with flexible cabling
The modular, manageable switch system from Phoenix Contact Factory Line range is designed specifically for industrial use for Ethernet applications on automation systems, and offers flexible cabling
The interfaces can automatically interchange the receive and transmit cables (autocrossover).
The FLM BK ETH M12 DI8 M12 bus coupler supports the following network protocols: Modbus/TCP, Modbus/UDP and DDI (Device Driver Interface).
As a lower-level bus the Ethernet bus coupler provides a powerful local bus with a selectable transmission rate from 500 Kbaud to 2 Mbaud.
The total length of the local bus is 20m and it can connect up to 16 I/O units.
The sensor supply is short-circuit and overload-protected and thus guarantees high system availability.
The diagnosis and status displays for power supply, network, and local bus operation with corresponding monitoring functions reduce bus downtime and provide support if service becomes necessary.
