Networking of automation components in a simple and effective way

Our Ethernet switches are designed for use in industrial environments. They are robust, impact-resistant and temperature-resistant. All products fulfil the highest requirements for reliable and flexible industrial Ethernet communication.

Unmanaged switches are the simplest active network components for fast networking. They are suitable as plug-and-play devices, require no configuration and are still customisable. They use basic standardised protocols such as autonegotiation, autocrossing and flow control. They can therefore automatically adapt to a wide variety of transmission speeds or connector assignments.

In order to harmonise the different requirements of communication participants in an industrial network, managed switches from Weidmüller have extensive control mechanisms for data distribution and bandwidth management. Configuration is web-based via a simple and intuitive user interface. From Quality of Service, redundancy, VLAN and SNMP to Access Control Lists, the switches offer a wide range of functions. The certifications for protocols and applications such as PROFINET CC-B, DNV or ATEX make the portfolio universally applicable.

With switches from Weidmüller, you benefit in many ways. Both in terms of service and quality as well as in the selection of suitable appliances.

Accessories and connectors for switches

Various range of accessories

Optimum adaptation to different applications. Failsafe backup and restore of configurations. High flexibility of transmission media through SFP transceiver. External antennas to improve transmission power, e.g. for integration of wireless devices in cabinets. Installation in various areas, e.g. on flat surfaces or 19" racks.

Ethernet cables and connectors

Industrial Ethernet connection technology by Weidmüller offers the optimal solution for the infrastructure of your machine, system or factory. All connection technology is available from one source.

The Industrial Ethernet cable configurator allows you to assemble custom-created IE cables.

Highlight: Managed switches increase cybersecurity

If it can be ensured that no attacker can physically access the system, an unmanaged switch can be used without hesitation.

  • If the risk is higher, you should switch to managed switches.
  • Security functions such as switching off unused ports and virtual network segmentation with VLAN to ACL (IP and MAC filters).
  • Security monitoring via syslog, SNMP, Modbus TCP or a fieldbus protocol (PROFINET or EtherNet/IP).
