Weidmuller IE-SW-VL05M-3TX-2SC 1504330000 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch

Description

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Weidmuller IE-SW-VL05M-3TX-2SC (Article Number 1504330000) is a high-performance managed Fast Ethernet switch engineered to facilitate reliable data transmission in automated networks. This device integrates three copper RJ45 ports and two multi-mode fiber optic SC-Duplex ports, supporting transmission distances up to 5 km. Its managed functionality allows for optimized traffic control, network monitoring, and enhanced security protocols across distributed industrial architectures.

Housed in a rugged IP30-rated metal enclosure, this switch is built to withstand mechanical stress and extreme thermal variations. It features a store-and-forward data switching mechanism to ensure error-free packet delivery. Dual redundant power inputs (12/24/48 V DC) provide continuous operation and system resilience in the event of a primary power supply failure, making it highly suitable for critical infrastructure applications.

Features

• Equipped with 3x 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 ports and 2x 100BaseFX multi-mode SC-Duplex ports.
• Supports transmission distances up to 5 km over multi-mode fiber optic cabling.
• Redundant dual power inputs (12/24/48 V DC) via a removable 6-pin terminal block.
• Store-and-forward switching architecture with a 2 K MAC address table and 1 Mbit packet buffer.
• Robust IP30 metal housing designed for standard DIN-rail mounting or optional panel mounting.
• Passive cooling design with an operating temperature range of 0 degC to 60 degC.

Applications

• Power generation and substation automation networks.
• Oil and gas processing facilities requiring robust fiber optic links.
• Water and wastewater treatment plant control systems.
• Factory automation and distributed I/O communication backbones.

Connections and Interfaces

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Snap the device securely onto a standard TS35 DIN rail. Ensure the DIN rail is properly grounded to the cabinet backplate.
• Wiring: Connect the redundant power sources to the removable 6-pin terminal block using appropriate wire gauges (typically 12 to 24 AWG).
• Grounding: Connect the functional ground terminal on the block and the housing ground screw to the local earth ground to minimize electromagnetic interference.
• Ventilation: Maintain at least 50 mm of free space above and below the switch to allow natural convection cooling. Do not block the ventilation slots.
