Function

The Ethernet-APL rail field switch is a ruggedized, managed field switch offering connectivity for Ethernet-APL devices to Ethernet networks via any protocol. The connections, i. e., "spur" ports, provide intrinsically safe (Ex ic) power and communication to instruments located in Zone 2. APL field switches can be installed in Zone 2.

The APL field switch features 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 SFP ports. The SFP ports provide connections for a choice of optional SFP transceivers to be used in explosion-hazardous areas and different distances.

For PROFINET, the APL field switch supports Class B networks. For high-availability installations, the APL field switch provides redundancy mechanisms such as MRP ring redundancy and S2 system redundancy.

PROFINET dynamic reconfiguration permits re-configuration of the APL field switch during runtime without interrupting the data exchange.

Easy configuration and diagnostics of the APL field switch are accessible via FDI and web-based management. PROFINET device functions and SNMP assure fast start-up and enable the use of predictive maintenance. Comprehensive network and physical layer diagnostics enable proactive management strategies to reduce risk of failure and downtime.

The APL field switch implements enhanced network security and supports SNMPv3, the locking of unused ports, and the HTTPS protocol.
