New Advanced Managed Switches, the 7000 Series
Phoenix Contact’s new 7000 series managed switches were designed specifically for use in Ethernet/IP networks where redundancy and extensive diagnostic functions are paramount for a high-availability automation network. The 7000 series Ethernet switches support direct integration in a device level ring (DLR), providing major advantages in the installation and implementation of EtherNet/IP networks. In small and medium-sized machine networks that are implemented in a ring, using a 7000 series switch in the control cabinet enables the incorporation of up to six Ethernet devices, such as human machine interfaces (HMIs), personal computers (PCs), scanners, and other field devices. In larger machine and system networks, the 7000 series switches allow the redundant DLRs of the machine network to be interconnected, as well as provide a link to the higher-level industrial backbone network.
