Device description

The MS20/MS30 devices consist of a switch with media modules that can be
plugged into it. They allow you to construct switched industrial ETHERNET
networks that conform to the IEEE 802. and 802.3u standards using copper
wires or optical fibers in a bus or ring topology. You can connect terminal de-
vices and other infrastructure components via twisted pair cables, multi-
mode LWL and single-mode LWL. The twisted pair ports support autocross-
ing, autonegotiation and autopolarity.
Basic module
Media module or
slot for media module, No.
The MS20/MS30 devices provide you with a range of switch variants. You
can set up your switch to meet your individual requirements with regard to the
transmission media type, the number of 10/100 Mbit ports you want (8, 16 or
24), the number of 1000 Mbit ports (up to 2), the temperature range, voltage
range, certificates and software variant.
The MS20/MS30 devices are modular network components. They are de-
signed for the special requirements of industrial automation. They meet the
relevant industry standards, provide very high operational reliability, even un-
der extreme conditions, and also long-term reliability and flexibility. The de-
vices operate without fans and have a redundant voltage supply. The
switches are very quickly mounted by snapping them onto a hat rail, which
also automatically contacts the function ground.
The HIPER-Ring redundancy concept enables you to quickly carry out a re-
configuration, and also a simple configuration with only one additional con-
nection. The diagnosis display and the display of the operating parameters
and the large label areas provide a quick overview.
It can be easily managed via a Web browser, via Telnet, with a management
software product (such as F) or locally on the switch (V.24 interface).
