FLEXtra STAGE PROFINET-Switch, managed
8x RJ45 / 2x SFP, 1 Gbit

The managed FLEXtra PROFINET switch FO can be used to network PROFINET components with 100 Mbit as well as Ethernet nodes with up to 1 Gbit. The FLEXtra PROFINET Switch FO has 8 RJ45 ports with up to 1000Mbit/s and 2 SFP ports for fiber optic transmission with 1000 Mbit/s.

This allows communication from the control level and the machine or mixing Ethernet and PROFINET components in one switch. PROFINET prioritization according to Conformance Class B of the machine components is always guaranteed.
In addition to PROFINET, functions such as SNMP, NTP, VLAN, port mirroring, QoS/CoS mapping and extensive statistics are available for managing the Ethernet network.

The practical design with the intelligent arrangement of the Ethernet sockets saves space in the control cabinet. The status LEDs on the top of the FLEXtra PROFINET switch, which are always clearly visible, enable easy diagnostics even with full cabling.

One of the most important functions of a PROFINET switch is the prioritization of PROFINET telegram traffic in the machine network. The managed switch can distinguish whether the telegram is a web request, an FTP file transfer, a media stream, or a PROFINET telegram. In the event of a high transmission load, the important telegrams can thus be prioritized to prevent telegram losses of the machine components. The supported PROFINET protocols, such as LLDP, DCP or diagnostic alarms, can be easily parameterized and managed.

Technical advantages of using a PROFINET switch:

• Prioritization of PROFINET telegrams
• Assignment of a configuration via the device name
• Neighborhood detection
• Device replacement without programming device
• Ring redundancy
• Each port can be activated or deactivated
• Diagnostic messages in case of network problems
• Identification and maintenance data
