MICROSENS MS650501PM-48 6-Port FE Industrial Profi Line Switch PoE, 2x 100FX ST/MM, 4x 10/100TX PoE, 2x 48VDC, DIN-Rail, managed, RC content_copy

The MICROSENS MS650501PM-48 is a 6-port Industrial Ethernet switch from the Profi Line, specifically designed for use in demanding industrial environments. The device features two 100FX ST/MM fiber connections, four 10/100TX PoE ports, and two 48VDC connections. It is delivered as a managed switch, offering extensive configuration and monitoring capabilities, and is supplied in DIN-rail mounting form. The designation RC indicates a robust construction suitable for use in industrial installations.

Applications

The switch is designed for use in industrial networks, particularly in environments with high requirements for reliability and operational safety. Typical application scenarios include automation systems, production lines, power supply systems, and installations in the field of process automation. The integrated PoE function enables power supply of end devices such as IP cameras, access points, or sensors via the network cable, thereby simplifying installation and reducing the number of required power supplies.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device features a total of six network connections: two optical 100FX ST/MM ports for connection via multimode or singlemode fiber cables, and four 10/100TX ports supporting PoE (Power over Ethernet). The PoE ports enable power supply of compatible devices at a voltage of 48 V DC. The two 48VDC connections serve as additional power supply inputs, allowing for redundant power supply. The managed function enables configuration of VLANs, QoS settings, port security, and other network management functions via a web interface or SNMP.

Technology Explained Simply

The fiber connections (100FX ST/MM) enable a data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s over fiber optic cables, using ST connectors and multimode fiber. This technology is particularly suitable for longer distances and interference-prone environments. Power supply is via 48 V DC, which is a standard voltage for PoE systems. DIN-rail mounting allows for easy installation in enclosures or control cabinets.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is compatible with standard Industrial Ethernet protocols and supports PoE end devices that meet PoE standard specifications. The fiber connections are designed for ST connectors and can be connected with multimode or singlemode fiber cables. The PoE ports are designed for powering devices with power consumption within PoE standard limits.

Mounting and Installation

The switch is supplied in DIN-rail mounting form, enabling quick and secure installation in standard enclosures. Power supply is via the two 48VDC connections, with redundant power supply achievable by using both connections. Configuration is performed via a web interface or SNMP, allowing network administrators to adjust settings and monitor operation.

Advantages in Operation

The switch offers high operational reliability due to its robust construction and redundant power supply options. The PoE function reduces the number of required power supplies and simplifies installation of end devices. The managed functions enable centralized network control, making network maintenance and monitoring more efficient. The fiber connections ensure reliable data transmission over long distances, particularly in interference-prone industrial environments.
