Schneider Electric
As part of its Transparent Factory family of products, Schneider Electric offers a
range of industrially hardened network hubs, switches, transceivers, bridges, and
cables. These Ethernet-standard communication components enable you to
integrate Ethernet solutions from the device level to the control network, and beyond
to the corporate intranet. Each ConneXium Industrial Ethernet product is designed
with compliance to Ethernet standards, and with third-party compatibility in mind.
b ConneXium Hubs connect devices and provide segments to shared
communication among PLCs. TF Hubs are low-cost solutions which enable
communications with devices, such as Momentum I/O, to Ethernet networks.
b ConneXium Switches segment the application in different zones, groups, or cells/
machines. The proper placement of switches can increase network performance by
relieving network congestion. TF switches implement SNMP protocol, allowing
standard network management tools to monitor and diagnose the network, and thus
are a key architectural component for real-time and deterministic network
communication.
b ConneXium Transceivers provide connections to fiber optic networks in areas of
high electromagnetic interference. The use of multiple transceivers enables long
distances between process areas.
b ConneXium Bridges enable Modbus to Ethernet and Modbus Plus to Ethernet
communications, with multiple ports allowing flexibility among network components.
b ConneXium Cables connect each automation device to the attached hub, switch,
transceiver, or bridge. Cables are available in fiber optic and twisted pair options,
with a wide variety of connectors and cable lengths.
All Ethernet cabling system components are built to rigorous industrial standards,
and are designed to perform in harsh environments. ConneXium Switches and Hubs
support a high level of resilience. Their scalable redundant features - from single to
double ring structure - make it easy to build the kind of fault-tolerant network that fits
the specific requirements of your environment.
