Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Uplink and Full Gigabit switches

Weidmuller has just released its new IES series of Industrial Ethernet switches to supersede its existing range.

Extremely reliable, sophisticated and functional, the new series easily meets the increasingly complex and demanding tasks of monitoring and controlling operational data.

With three ranges to choose from, the series offers an extremely broad range of Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet managed switches with various port combinations. Users can select from entry level IES21 Fast Ethernet, IES31 fast Ethernet with Gigabit Uplink, up to IES41 full Gigabit Ethernet switches.

Packed with functionality, the switches feature Ring redundancy with floating master, latest security features, IGMP snooping, Broadcast and Multicast control, and a built in Virtual Cable tester.

Perfect for use in the factory, automotive process and oil, gas and renewable energy industries, the IES range more than meets all current Australian standards. It delivers exceptional performance and absolute reliability thanks to a range of advanced features.

Equipped with the all-new W-Ring technology, the IES family delivers far more redundancy and greater reliability. W-Ring simplifies network requirements by eliminating the need for master/slave settings in a redundant ring, while providing a network reinstatement time of less than 20ms.

What’s more, the switches are operational in harsh and demanding environments and have been created to withstand operating temperatures up to 85ºC as well as excessive vibration.

Housed in robust metal casings rather than plastic, and with no need for fans or case venting, the family is IP40 protected.

Highly compact, the plug and play switches all come standard with a universal low voltage power supply and all models can be DIN rail or wall mounted.
