The GE IS420ESWBH1A is a 16-Port Ethernet IONet Switch used in the GE Mark VIe series of control systems. It’s a key networking component designed for real-time industrial applications, like those found in power generation and heavy machinery.
Key Features and Functionality
The IS420ESWBH1A switch is built to handle the demanding communication needs of a distributed control system. Its main job is to connect multiple I/O packs and controllers, ensuring fast and reliable data exchange.
- Ports: This model is a 16-port switch. It has sixteen 10/100Base-TX RJ45 copper ports for standard Ethernet connections. It also has one 100Base-FX multi-mode fiber port with an LC-type connector, which is a key differentiator from other models and is used for longer-distance connections.
- Redundancy: The module features dual power supply inputs that are Diode-OR’d, providing power redundancy. This means the switch can stay operational even if one power source fails.
- Performance: It is designed for industrial networks and supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet speeds. It includes a minimum 256 KB buffer and can handle up to 4K MAC addresses, ensuring efficient data flow.
- Mounting: The switch is a DIN-rail mountable module, which allows for quick and secure installation in a control cabinet. It can also be panel-mounted with the proper clips.
