Performance Parameters:

  • Port Count: 16 Copper Ports
  • Memory: 256 MB onboard flash
  • Dimensions: 162 mm x 115 mm x 72 mm

Material Composition:
Manufactured with premium industrial-grade PCBs and components, featuring conformal coating for protection against moisture and corrosive industrial atmospheres.

Structural Characteristics:
Compact industrial form factor supporting both parallel and perpendicular DIN-rail or panel mounting configurations. Includes comprehensive front-panel LED status indicators.

Working Principle:
Aggregates data from up to 16 connected field devices or I/O modules, utilizing high-speed internal switching fabric to route traffic efficiently to the uplink fiber port or controller connection.

Installation Requirements:
Ensure adequate clearance for convection cooling. Use appropriate fiber optic patch cables for uplink connections and verify link quality via front-panel LEDs.

Usage Precautions:
Verify the specific fiber optic port configuration (multi-mode vs. single-mode) matches the network infrastructure before installation. Configure using ToolboxST software as required.
