The Smart Ethernet Switch SDS-3016 is the ideal product for IA engineers and automation machine builders to make their networks compatible with the vision of Industry 4.0. The Smart Switch brings machines and control cabinets to life and simplifies daily tasks through its easy configuration and installation. Additionally, it is monitorable and easy to maintain throughout its entire product lifecycle.

The most commonly used automation protocols - including EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP - are embedded in the SDS-3016 switch to provide enhanced operational performance and flexibility, allowing it to be controlled and monitored from automation HMIs. It also supports a range of useful management features, including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, port mirroring, SNMP, relay alerts, and a multilingual web GUI.

Additional features and benefits:

• IP port binding to ensure critical devices can be quickly replaced without needing to reassign the IP address
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN to simplify network planning
• Supports the ABC-02-USB (automatic backup configurator) for quick backup/restoration of system configuration and firmware upgrades
• Automatic alerts via exceptions through the relay output
• Locking of unused ports, SNMPv3, and HTTPS to enhance network security
• Port mirroring for online debugging and monitoring
• Local logging and the ability to export inventory files facilitate inventory management

Ethernet interface:

• 10/100BaseT(X) ports (RJ45 connector): 16
