GE IS421ESWBH1A

الوصف

The GE IS421ESWBH1A is a conformal-coated 16-port Ethernet switch designed for the Mark VIe series of control systems. This module is a key component for managing network communication in harsh industrial environments.

Key Features and Functionality

The IS421ESWBH1A is a specialized Ethernet switch engineered for high reliability in demanding applications. Its key differentiator from the standard IS420 models is the conformal coating, a protective layer applied to the circuit board to shield it from moisture, dust, chemical vapors, and other contaminants.

• Ports: The module provides 16 10/100Base-TX copper ports with RJ-45 connectors for connecting various devices. It also includes one multi-mode fiber optic port with an LC-type connection, which allows for longer-distance network connections without signal degradation.
• Redundancy: To ensure continuous operation, the switch features dual power supply inputs (Diode-OR’d), which provides power redundancy in case one power source fails.
• Performance: It’s built for real-time industrial control, with a minimum 256 KB buffer and support for up to 4K MAC addresses to manage data traffic efficiently.
• Diagnostics: The module is equipped with LED indicators for each port, providing visual feedback on link status, activity, duplex, and speed. A separate LED indicates the power status.
• Mounting: The module is designed for DIN-rail mounting, which allows for quick and secure installation in control cabinets.
