The ideal solution for constructing isochronous real-time (IRT) Industrial Ethernet segments especially in line, star and ring topologies with copper and fiber-optic cabling (glass FOC, PCF FOC, POF FOC)
Reliable data communication thanks to rugged device connection using industry-standard connectors (IE FC RJ45 Plug 2x2) that offer additional strain and bending strain relief thanks to latching on the enclosure
High network availability in ring topologies, without reconfiguration times, when using the standardized PROFINET MRPD process (Media Redundancy for Planned Duplication, according to IEC 61158)
Fast and easy diagnosis with LEDs on the device, through the integral Web server and through signaling contacts
Easy integration into the consistent process and system diagnostics with PROFINET
Integrated configuration and diagnostics in STEP 7 / (TIA Portal) bring significant advantages during the engineering, commissioning, and the operating phase of a plant
Module replacement without the need for a programming device, using the C-PLUG swap media for backing up the configuration data
