Product Description
2 Product Description
2.1 Overview and Application
The Ethernet-APL series of Rail Field Switches are ruggedized, managed network switches.
These rail field switches provide connectivity for Ethernet-APL and optionally PROFIBUS PA
field devices to 100/1000-MBit/s industrial Ethernet networks. Port diagnostics facilitate fault
finding in Ethernet-APL networks and providing information for preventive maintenance of the
rail field switches and the network they are connected to.The rail field switches are managed
with an integrated web server.
The rail field switches are suitable for DIN rail mounting or wall mounting.The rail field switches
can be installed in the explosion hazardous Zone 2. The spur connections of the rail field
switches provide power to the connected field devices and are rated intrinsically safe Ex ic IIC
for Zone 2 and Zone 22 mounting. The spurs are compatible with the Ethernet-APL port
profile SPCC. 2 RJ45 and 2 SFP Ethernet interfaces permit the connection to industrial Ether-
net networks like PROFINET or EtherNet/IP. 2 of the 4 ports may be used in ring configuration.
Fiber optic small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers are available as accessories. Prod-
uct versions with pluggable screw terminals and spring terminals are available.
