Our Industrial Ethernet product range

Unmanaged switches

Unmanaged switches require no configuration and are nevertheless adaptable. They use basic standardized protocols, such as autonegotiation, autocrossing and flow control, allowing them to adapt automatically to widely varying transmission speeds or connector assignments. All switches support the use of twisted pair cabling with RJ45 interface or fiber optic cable based on the interfaces specified in IEEE 802.3. We offer different versions with different features. In addition to the unmanaged switches of the EcoLine, BasicLine and ValueLine, we can also offer you Power over Ethernet variants within all lines that can significantly reduce your wiring work.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit versions available, including Power over Ethernet variants
Rapid fault diagnosis thanks to the clearly visible LED display
Wide variety of ports in terms of number and features to meet individual requirements
Robust housing for reliable long-term use in different environments
Numerous international approvals for use in many different industries

Media converters and protocol gateways

A goal of industrial automation is to achieve the continuous networking of all system components. This also requires the interconnection of devices and network segments that use different transmission technologies or are very far away from each other. Our media converters and protocol gateways ensure smooth communication between all network participants and are also especially convenient and economical.

Integration of serial devices into Ethernet networks
Use of Ethernet over long distances and in EMC-critical environments
Transmission of serial signals over long distances
Conversion between Modbus RTU/ASCII and Modbus TCP

Industrial WLAN

Our WLAN module can be used flexibly as an access point (AP), bridge or client. The alternative Power over Ethernet supply makes integration into an existing infrastructure especially easy. Maximum data integrity is guaranteed through integration into a RADIUS service and secure encryption with WPA2 in the radio field. Several radio fields can be flexibly spread out. Within these fields, the clients can move between the radio cells thanks to fast roaming.

Compliant access point / client according to IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
Fast roaming for interruption-free connection changes between access points
Power supply with PoE according to IEEE 802.3af possible
Integrated DIs/DOs for monitoring and alarms
Both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands
