The ideal solution for constructing isochronous real-time (IRT) Industrial Ethernet segments especially in line, star and ring topologies with copper and fiber-optic cabling (glass FOC, PCF FOC, POF FOC)
Reliable data communication thanks to rugged, industry-standard device connection using PROFINET-compatible connectors (IE FC RJ45 Plug 2x2) that offer additional strain relief and bending strain relief thanks to latching on the enclosure
High network availability in ring topologies, without reconfiguration times, when using the PROFINET-compliant MRPD process (Media Redundancy for Planned Duplication according to IEC 61158)
Fast and easy diagnosis with LEDs on the device, through the integral Web server and through signaling contacts
Easy integration in the process diagnosis and system diagnosis with PROFINET
Configuration and diagnostics integrated into STEP 7 provide significant benefits during the engineering, start-up and operating phases of a plant
Module replacement without the need for a programming device, using the C-PLUG swap media for backing up the configuration data
