This VTC56044 also uses a robust aluminum case, offering IP30 35 mm DIN-Rail switch not only includes all functions of a standard protection. VTC56044 provides powerful device unmanaged switch, but also possesses powerful features, redundancy, including a redundant Ethernet network (Super such as port VLAN, Quality of Service, IGMP (Internet Group Ring), and redundant power inputs. VTC56044 is the best Multicast Protocol) snooping and failure alarm by relay solution to enhance your industrial networking automation. output. With a web-based configuration interface, VTC An optional model VTC56044 is available with a 100Base-FX 56044 ensures an easy installation and management of your port in SC type connector, fulfilling your needs for longer data switches. transmission distance. VLAN- Improves Network security and performance VLAN (Virtual LAN) provides many benefits when you plan providing extra security to the entire network. VLAN function your network for Industrial applications. Via software, VLAN also can restrain the traffic within a VLAN. It ensures that the groups devices into a logical subgroup within a local area traffic only circulates within a sub-domain without network regardless of the physical LAN segment they are broadcasting over the entire network. attached. By doing so, network performance can be improved in a large VLAN protects your important industrial devices or systems scale. Another advantage of VLAN is that when an industrial from unauthorized access. With VLAN function, devices from a device is physically moved to another location, it can stay on different LAN cannot communicate or access your LAN, the same VLAN without any hardware reconfiguration. IGMP Snooping- Deliver the right data to right place IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) plays a to which group of users. It simply broadcasts over the entire significant role in industrial automation, especially for VOIP network. It can consume a lot of bandwidth if many servers (Video Over IP) applications. IGMP may be used with some are multicasting and sending streams to a certain segment. field bus protocols over Ethernet, such as Siemens Profinet, The purpose of IGMP snooping is to restrain multicasting Rockwell EtherNet/IP, and Foundation Fieldbus HSE (High traffic in a switched network. By filtering the multicasting Speed Ethernet). traffic and sorting it to corresponding group of devices, a These industrial Ethernet protocols make extensive use of switch forwards messages only to the interface that is publisher/subscriber communications models by interested in the traffic. It ensures that the right data will only multicasting packets over the network. be sent to the right destination. It will reduce the total For this reason, multicasting traffic floods in a network since a amount of traffic on the entire network substantially. switch cannot determine which multicasting strings belong Industrial Ethernet Rail Switch Specifications Standard: Power Supply: IEEE 802.3 10Base-T Ethernet, 12 to 48 VDC.
