The IE-SW5-ECO-FLAT switching hub is designed for the Industrial Automation
environment.
Like all Ethernet switches from Weidmüller, it features non-blocking (full wire-
speed) operation. It divides an Ethernet network into five collision domains -
"bridging" data links to create larger network diameters than possible with
repeating hubs.
Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps - con-
trolling data flow with the PAUSE function in full-duplex links or with the back-
pressure method in half-duplex links.
Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the
source addresses to a table. Throughput is improved by restricting traffic to
those ports party to a data exchange - while other data is simultaneously
exchanged on other ports.
Store-and-forward operation is implemented and broadcast, multicast, or uni-
cast transmissions are received by all ports.
The IE-SW5-ECO-FLAT has five Auto-MDIX ports for attaching local devices.
In addition to a power LED, each port has one LED showing link/activity/rate
and one showing duplex status.
The unit operates from a wide range of low-voltage AC or DC power.
The IE-SW5-ECO-FLAT is provided with a writable label for easy identification
of the remote device attached to each cable.
