1.2 Product Description
Suitable for Industrial Environment
PLANET IGS-5227-Series, an Industrial Layer 2+ Managed Ethernet Switch, comes with an IP67-rated industrial case, 6-port
10/100/1000T and static Layer 3 routing, providing a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy
electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets. The IGS-5227-Series can be
easily mounted on a DIN-rail or wall taking up less space.
Waterproof and Dustproof M12 Ethernet Connector
The IGS-5227-Series is equipped with a 6-port 10/100/1000BASE-T, auto-negotiation, waterproof and dustproof M12 connector.
The M12 connector provides tight and strong connection, and guarantees stable Ethernet operating performance under high
vibration and shock environment. It comes with the industrial protection rating of IP67 capable of withstanding humidity, dirt,
dust, shock, vibrations, heat and cold.
Environmentally Hardened Design
The IGS-5227-Series is able to protect itself from dust and water ingress, and to operate under the temperature range from -40
to 75 degrees C. All these features ensure the highest level of reliability for mission-critical applications in any difficult
environment.
Dual Power Input for High Availability Network System
The IGS-5227-Series features a strong dual power input system (Dual 9V~48V DC) incorporated into customer’s automation
network to enhance system reliability and uptime. For example, when DC Power 1 fails to work, the hardware failover function
will be activated automatically to keep powering the IGS-5227-6MT-X via DC Power 2 alternatively without any loss of
operation.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The IGS-5227-Series supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent
interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching)
technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customers industrial automation
network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a certain simple Ring network, the recovery
time of data link can be as fast as 20ms.
