Ethernet switches allow easing exchanges

A Harting product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 25, 2007

When a new switch is connected, it starts up automatically without reconfiguration.

Harting has extended its family of industrial Ethernet switches to include a unit with an external configuration memory.

The configuration memory is mounted in a standard Han 3A robust metal housing and is designed to remain in place if the switch needs to be exchanged during service.

It retains all the switch settings so that, when a new switch is connected, it starts up automatically without reconfiguration.

The Harting mCon 7100 is a managed Ethernet switch designed for use in harsh industrial environments.

It includes up to ten ports for connection over IEC 802.3 shielded twisted-pair cabling and is compatible with both Ethernet (10Mbit/s) and Fast Ethernet (100Mbit/s).

The unit is mounted in a robust die-cast metal housing with protection to IP65/IP67, will operate over temperatures from -40C to +70C and meets the highest standards on electromagnetic compatibility and mechanical stability.

The mCon 7100 incorporates auto-crossing, auto-negotiation and auto-polarity management operations and supports both SNMP and an easy web interface for management functions.
