Siemens Managed Switch 8 Port Ethernet Switch

Complete your industrial control setup with this versatile Ethernet switch from Siemens. It's a single-unit control and diagnostics solution for configuring your Ethernet line, ring and star topology networks. The eight RJ45 ports switch automatically between transfer rates of 10 and 100Mbit/s so you always get a speed suited to your connected device. As the unit lets you choose between two of the most common industrial communications protocols, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, you're assured of broad compatibility and functionality. A fuse connected to the switch's input power supply reliably breaks the circuit and cuts power whenever excess current occurs. This protects you and your industrial equipment from the dangers of overload or overcurrent faults.

Yes, this unit's high-speed redundancy protocol (HRP) means it continues to operate through fault conditions thanks to a separate power circuit that works as a backup supply to avoid system downtime.
