GE SLN042 IC086SLN042-A is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch of the PACSystems series. It is designed to meet the high-demand network requirements in industrial environments and provide reliable and efficient data communication.
DATA SHEET
Key Features
2.1 Port Configuration
It is equipped with 4 x 10/100BaseT(X) ports, which are suitable for connecting various devices with twisted - pair cables. These ports support both 10Mbps and 100Mbps data transfer rates, adapting to different network speeds in the industrial field.
Additionally, there are 2 x 100Base - FX ports (Multi - Mode). The 100Base - FX ports use fiber - optic cables, which offer advantages such as longer transmission distances and better immunity to electromagnetic interference. This combination of ports provides great flexibility in building industrial networks.
2.2 Unmanaged Design
The unmanaged nature of this switch simplifies installation and operation. There is no need for complex configuration processes. Once the devices are connected to the switch ports, they can start communicating immediately, which is highly convenient for users who prefer a plug - and - play solution, especially in industrial settings where quick deployment is often required.
2.3 Ethernet Standards Compliance
The IC086SLN042 - A strictly adheres to relevant Ethernet standards. It complies with IEEE 802.3 for 10Base - T, IEEE 802.3u for 100Base - TX and 100Base - FX, and IEEE 802.3x for Flow control. This compliance ensures seamless interoperability with a wide range of Ethernet - enabled devices in the industrial network, reducing compatibility issues.
2.4 Rugged Construction
Redundant input power is a crucial feature. In industrial environments, power outages can be disastrous. The redundant power input allows the switch to continue operating even if one power source fails, ensuring continuous network connectivity.
It also has overload current protection and reverse polarity protection. Overload current protection safeguards the switch and connected devices from damage caused by excessive current, while reverse polarity protection prevents issues when the power cable is connected incorrectly.
With an IP30 enclosure rating, the switch is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5mm and dust. This protection level is suitable for many industrial environments where there may be a certain amount of dust or accidental contact with small solid objects.
2.5 Environmental Adaptability
The operating temperature range of - 40°C to +70°C enables the switch to function in extremely harsh temperature conditions. Whether it is in a cold outdoor industrial site in winter or a hot factory workshop in summer, the switch can maintain stable operation.
The storage temperature range of - 40°C to +85°C ensures that the switch can be stored in various environments without being damaged.
The operating humidity of 5% to 95% non - condensing means that the switch can work properly in humid industrial settings, such as near water treatment facilities or in areas with high ambient humidity.
2.6 Processing Method
It adopts the store - and - forward mechanism. When receiving data packets, the switch first stores the entire packet in its buffer and then checks the integrity of the packet. Only after confirming that the packet is error - free will it forward the packet to the appropriate port. This method helps to reduce the spread of errors in the network and improves the overall reliability of data transmission.
2.7 MAC Table
The switch has a 2048 - entry MAC table. This relatively large - sized MAC table allows the switch to efficiently manage the Media Access Control addresses of connected devices. It can quickly identify and forward data packets to the correct destinations, enhancing network performance.
