Phoenix Contact extended its range of Managed Switches for automation tasks with versions 2200 and 2300 in the FL Switch 2000 product range.
These are suitable for the flexible construction of robust and failsafe networks in systems manufacturing, in the infrastructure and process industry, as well as in maritime applications.
The switches can be used in Ex Zone 2 according to ATEX and IECEx and have shipbuilding approvals GL/DNV, ABS, LR, BV, and RINA. An extended temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and redundant power supply also enable use under harsh ambient conditions. For a high data throughput, gigabit variant 2300 is available.
Just like the FL Switch 2000 product range, the versions offer functions for easy and flexible start-up. The switches have the necessary management functions for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP™ applications.
