Improve your industrial system's performance with this network switch from Siemens. Eight channels let you connect multiple pieces of equipment for streamlined control. As it's an Ethernet switch with RJ45 ports, you can use it to enable communication between standard devices. Data can be transferred at a rate of 10 or 100 Mbit/s to suit your needs. A CoS function means the unit's configurable, so you can set communication priorities. This makes it useful in data acquisition and system monitoring applications for maximising the productivity of automated processes.

• Parallel Redundancy Protocol minimises data loss during network communications
• Wide operating temperature between -40°C and +70°C for use in demanding environments
• Compact dimensions of 125 (L) x 60 (W) and 147mm (H) save space in crowded setups
• LEDs on the front for quick diagnostics
• An intrinsically safe design makes it suitable for use in explosive atmospheres

This data acquisition unit is suitable for standard 35mm DIN or wall mounting. It's also compatible with S7-300 series rails (453-2567) for flexibility.
