PROFINET Managed Switches for Industrial Automation

Several options:

• Configuration via Web-Based Management

• Configuration via command line (SSH, Telnet, RS-232)

• Network management via SNMP v1, v2c, v3

• Support of MIB standards (Management Information Base)

• Configuration through the device description file

• Automatic detection of a connected SFP module

• Detailed module information

• Real-time monitoring TemperatureSupply voltageTransmitter powerReception power

Simplified maintenance:

• Port mirroring: Mirrors the network traffic

• LLDP: Automatically detects adjacent devices

• Media Redundancy Manager (MRM)

• Media Redundancy Client (MRC)

• Switching time < 300 ms

• Easy MRC/MRM configuration via GSD file or Web-Based Management

• Acyclic PN diagnostics in the event of a fault

• Cyclic PN diagnostics in the event of a fault

• Media Redundancy Client (MRC)

• Switching time < 300 ms

• Easy MRC configuration via GSD file or Web-Based Management

• Acyclic PN diagnostics in the event of a fault

• Cyclic PN diagnostics in the event of a fault

Authorization only for the required services

Filtering data packets on the basis of:

• A source MAC or source IP address

• A destination MAC or destination IP address

• A range of MAC or IP addresses

• UDP/TCP source or destination ports

VLAN (e.g., per IEEE 802.1Q)

Segmentation in logical, virtual networks:

• Broadcast limitation

• Security improvement

• Data flow prioritization

• Subdivision of machines and office networks, for example

• Faster transfer of important data packets through the switch

• Prioritization of data packets per IEEE 802.1 Q

• Limitation of the bandwidth or number of packets per unit of time per port

• Increase in data transmission quality

• Stopping broadcast storms

• Ensuring network availability

• Limiting broadcast and multicast data flows (packets/time)
