WaveLine managed switches include features such as: auto-negotiation, redundant power supply, programmable fault relays for PLC support (max. 24 V/0.5 A), SNMP, LLDP, Rapid Ring™, RSTP 802.3w, IGMP snooping, MAC browser (MAC lookup function), Port Trunking, Port Mirroring and port configuration functionality, VLAN, QoS, TOS, Diffserv, autocrossing, autopolarity, filter table and forwarding.

This new 5-port Ethernet switch is an innovative, unique ATEX-certified, weatherproof solution that remains affordable. It also offers the added advantage of being available with weatherproof and ATEX-certified connectors.

The networks used in industrial automation are often incompatible with each other. Anybus X-gateway gateways interconnect these different networks and link various fieldbuses or industrial Ethernet systems. Fully compatible with PLC network systems from Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi, and others, X-gateways simplify system integration.

Ethernet is the most widespread LAN application worldwide, offering the benefits of standardization, low-cost components, and high-performance switching technology. Furthermore, it is easy to configure and install.

QNV, SL presents the new JetPort-5601, a dual redundant RS232/422/485 serial port server with Ethernet connectivity. If one of the two Ethernet connections fails, the redundant path is activated in less than 200 ms, enabling a highly secure communication link in harsh environments or in the presence of vibrations.

The compass points “online.” The IT revolution has now reached the oceans, and the maritime industry has set course for Ethernet and the Internet Protocol (IP). Today, cargo and passenger ships are equipped with data networks that integrate numerous functions into a generic infrastructure, similar to recent developments in industrial manufacturing and production automation.
