The ArmorStratix 5700 enhances Connected Enterprise goals by enabling the integration of machine data into enterprise systems, which would otherwise remain isolated due to cost or location constraints. Using Cisco IOS network infrastructure software, this switch manages the transfer of production data to various enterprise databases and information systems to improve decision-making.
This industrial switch simplifies the design and development of machine networks through configuration and monitoring tools. These tools enable easy configuration and diagnostics from within the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture system, bridging the gap between IT and the automation engineer.
The Layer 2 ArmorStratix 5700 offers high availability, quality of service (QoS), and automated monitoring to help simplify network optimization and convergence. The switch comes standard in 8-, 16-, and 24-port configurations, and each base model features M12 Ethernet connectors, an SD flash memory card slot, dual power inputs, and a rack-mountable design. The expanded ArmorStratix 5700 includes 10- and 18-port configurations, with two Gigabit ports, hardware-based IEEE 1588, hardware alarms, and up to eight Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports.
