Weidmuller IE-SW-VL05MT-5TX ValueLine Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch

Description

Designed for demanding industrial networking environments, the Weidmuller IE-SW-VL05MT-5TX (article number 1504310000) is a managed Fast Ethernet switch engineered to provide reliable data transmission under harsh operational conditions. This 5-port device supports managed switch functionalities, utilizing a store-and-forward data switching architecture to optimize traffic flow and minimize packet loss across local automation networks.

Housed in a rugged IP30-rated metal enclosure, this switch is built to withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -40 degC to 75 degC. It features redundant power inputs to ensure continuous network uptime even in the event of a primary power supply failure. Its compact form factor and support for both DIN rail and panel mounting make it highly adaptable for integration into standard control cabinets.

Features

• 5 Fast Ethernet ports supporting high-speed local data communication.
• Managed switch capabilities for enhanced network configuration and diagnostics.
• Store-and-forward data switching technology to ensure packet integrity.
• Redundant power inputs (12/24/48 V DC) to maximize system availability.
• Rugged IP30 metal housing protecting internal components from dust and debris.
• Wide operating temperature range from -40 degC to 75 degC for extreme environments.
• Flexible installation options including DIN rail and panel mounting.

Applications

• Industrial automation and control system networks.
• Power generation and electrical substation monitoring.
• Water and wastewater treatment facility communications.
• Oil and gas processing and distribution pipelines.
• Wind, solar, and renewable energy monitoring systems.

Connections and Interfaces

Installation Guidelines

• Mounting: Snap the device securely onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. For panel mounting, utilize the optional panel mounting kit.
• Grounding: Connect the functional ground contact on the terminal block to a low-impedance earth ground to ensure adequate protection against electromagnetic interference.
• Wiring: Use the removable 6-pin terminal block to connect the redundant 12/24/48 V DC power sources. Verify correct wiring polarity before energizing the system.
• Ventilation: Ensure sufficient clearance around the IP30 metal housing to facilitate natural convection cooling, particularly when operating near the maximum temperature limit of 75 degC.
