The SWU industrial Ethernet switch line is part of the WEG solution family developed to meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 applications with Ethernet connections. It is a complete, certified, and highly reliable solution that is easy to install and set up, in addition to being compatible with infrastructures of the most varied sizes and industries.
Description
In general, a switch works as a controller, allowing
devices on the network to exchange information with each
other efficiently. It is an essential grouping and
communication element on Ethernet networks that connect
different devices at a single point, thus offering greater
flexibility for the network infrastructure and reducing
expenses on basic structures.
The SWU industrial Ethernet switches perform essential
functions in evolving network architectures, being
fundamental for the continued growth of companies that have
connectivity as a strategy to optimize their production
processes.
Benefits
- Compact, no need for additional space;
- IP30 protection rating: ideal for panel installation;
- Made with robust metal frame that protects against shocks;
- Easy installation with Plug & Play accessories;
- Versatile and compatible with several solutions.
Technology and functions
Flexible, the SWU line provides a robust and compact
Ethernet connection for industrial applications, enabling
communication with various devices in a simple and
friendly way, without requiring complex configurations.
The optimized connectivity of the SWU industrial Ethernet
switches brings immediate benefits for your devices and
manufacturing plant, such as reduced costs and monitoring
installation, ideal for the growing demand for communication
networks. The SWU line can also be used to set up the VLAN to
group devices logically, according to the work departments.
The switch receives a message from any device connected to
the network and transmits it only to the device to which the
message is addressed. That increases efficiency, as it
determines the destination address and port for each frame
that circulates on the network, handling and transmitting
data among various devices within that LAN.
The SWU line offers 12 to 48 V dc power supply and easy and
versatile DIN-rail or flat-surface mounting to meet the
requirements of different environments and applications, in
addition to a wide range of standard operating temperature,
from -10 to 60°C.
Applications
The SWU line can be used in the most varied applications, from the smallest to the largest manufacturing plants. The models are compatible with different types of devices, which makes your application scalable in performance and functionality, allowing you to design customized solutions with excellent cost-effectiveness.
Main characteristics
- Safety at the power supply: the redundant power input design works as backup protection for the input, preventing damage to the switch device due to incorrect power wiring. When one of the power inputs fails, the P-Fail LED will light up and an alarm will be sent via a relay output to notify the user.
- Advanced protection: the SWU has a line surge protection system up to 3,000 V dc and 4,000 V ESD for Ethernet ports. That ensures device stability and safety against voltage variations, making the system safer and more reliable. Besides, the SWU has a resettable fuse to ensure that the device component is not damaged by overcurrent.
- Intuitive and easy to manage: LED indicators make troubleshooting intuitive and streamline management. Each 10/100 Base-TX port has two LEDs that show the communication status, transmission speed, and collision status, in addition to the three power indicator LEDs P1, P2, and P-Fail, which help immediately diagnose the power status.
