Intended use for Industrial Ethernet
Use in the shipbuilding industry
Extremely reliable in harsh environments
While autonomous navigation is gaining importance in 
shipping, the comfort requirements of crew and passengers 
are increasing too. Therefore, ships are equipped with 
increasingly more complex network solutions which need to 
be managed intelligently. In addition to higher bandwidth, 
more and more components have to support QoS, and 
prioritisation measures, network segmentation functions, 
and redundancy mechanisms.
Weidmüller supplies switches, routers, and connection 
elements in a broad range including connectors, DIN rail 
outlet, and maintenance interfaces that function reliably and 
are optimally suited to the harsh environmental conditions. 
A large part of Weidmüller‘s Industrial Ethernet portfolio is 
DNV GL certied.
DNV GL certied routers from Weidmüller perfectly secure 
your onboard networks by separating critical from non-
critical networks. For example, the drive network and 
entertainment system can operate independently from one 
another. On the bridge, for example, Weidmüller routers 
enable ship communication via 4G networks, which reduces 
the use of expensive satellite connections. At the same time, 
it provides remote access and important status parameters.
