Hello again! This time instead of talking about discontinuations I\u2019ve got some great news about new products. Looking to further strengthen our Ethernet switch offering, we produced a range of IP67 switches. They are the FL SWITCH 2600\/2700<\/a> and they really extend what we can offer to you as a package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The switches are produced using the FL SWITCH 2000 firmware, it is a tried and tested firmware with application successes across the country and around the globe. The housing is a zinc die cast wall mountable design making it rugged and impact resistant in heavy work areas. It can be connected using traditional M12 connections or Phoenix Contact\u2019s M12 Push\/Pull connectors<\/a>. Power connections can be daisy chained to another switch reducing the need for a 24v PSU on each device and making your network more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The IP67 switches are fully managed devices; this gives you the ability to manage the traffic from within the network and gives you more diagnostics than an unmanaged version can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Contact prides itself with being a vendor independent manufacturer. We give the ability to integrate our switches within your programming environment with a GDSML\/EDS file, making it visible within TIA Portal or Studio 5000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FL SWITCH 2000 Family<\/a> is now fully able to address almost everything that an application can throw at it and still provide a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
