Harting presents the new generation of Ethernet switches that, while not managed, provide high network availability through ring, parallel, and combined redundancy capabilities.This feature, which sets it apart from other switches on the market, earned it the Technological Innovation Award from the specialized technical press at the SPS industrial automation trade fair in Nuremberg.
Through the USB v.2.0 port, users of the Harting sCon 3000 series can configure a wide range of features, including ring and parallel redundancy, port mirroring and selection of incoming and/or outgoing frames, the communication speed of each port, port disabling, and even port priority selection, among others, including alarm reporting via the relay contact installed on the device.
Using a very user-friendly software interface with the mCon Management utility, users can configure their sCon devices and save this configuration to replicate it on other devices or create configuration profiles.
The sCon 3000 family of Ethernet switches is ideal for installations where optimizing availability and facilitating network infrastructure maintenance are crucial.
Designed with a robust build for demanding industrial environments, the sCon 3000 devices feature redundant power supplies, configurations for 10/100/1000 Base-TX RJ45 ports, and hybrid configurations with fiber optic ports using SC or FH-ST interfaces. Compliant with the EN 50 155 railway standard, their performance is guaranteed even in highly extreme environments with fluctuating temperatures, electromagnetic interference, and vibrations.
The metal housings used in the sCon 3000 series ensure superior heat dissipation and contribute to a long equipment lifespan, achieving an MTBF of up to 745,000 hours of operation without failure.
