Description

FOXBORO  A4H124-24FX  Industrial Ethernet Switch Module

Basic Parameters:

• Port Type: Provides 24 Fast Ethernet fiber ports (100Base-FX) with multimode fiber and SC connectors.
• Data Rate: Each port has a data rate of 100Mbps, and the switching capacity is 4.8Gbps (non-blocking).
• MAC Address Table: Can support up to 8K entries.
• Power Supply: Redundant 24VDC power supply (voltage range 18-36VDC) with a maximum power consumption of approximately 30W.
• Dimensions and Installation: Dimensions are approximately 440mm (width) x 44mm (height) x 280mm (depth). It supports 19-inch rack mounting or DIN rail mounting.
• Operating Environment: Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +70°C, storage temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, relative humidity is 5% to 95% (non-condensing). It can withstand an impact of 15g for 11ms and vibration of 1g at 10-150Hz.

Functional Features:

• Network Protocol Support: Supports Layer 2 management, including VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), QoS (Quality of Service), IGMP Snooping (Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping), RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), etc.
• Management Methods: Supports management methods such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), web-based interface, CLI (Command Line Interface) and Telnet, facilitating users to configure and monitor.
• Redundant Design: Equipped with power redundancy function. When the internal power supply fails, an optional external redundant power supply (such as STK-RPS-150PS) can automatically take over the power supply to ensure uninterrupted network operation.

Application Cases

• Process Monitoring in Petrochemical Industry: In the petrochemical production process, there are a large number of equipment and parameters that need to be monitored, such as reactor temperature, pipeline pressure, and fluid flow. The A4H124-24FX module can be used to build an industrial Ethernet, connecting sensors, controllers and monitoring equipment distributed in various places to realize high-speed transmission of real-time data, enabling operators to grasp various information in the production process in a timely manner and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the production process.
• Data Interaction in Power Systems: There are many electrical equipment in power plants, such as generators, transformers, and circuit breakers, which need real-time monitoring and control. The A4H124-24FX module can be used as a network switch to connect the monitoring devices and control systems of various equipment, realizing data interaction and sharing between devices. At the same time, it supports functions such as VLAN, which can isolate different types of data, improve network security and stability, and ensure the reliable operation of the power system.
• Automated Control of Production Lines: In production lines such as automobile manufacturing and electronic equipment production, there are a large number of robots, automated production equipment and testing instruments. The A4H124-24FX module can connect these equipment into a network to enable them to work collaboratively. Through real-time transmission of control instructions and production data, it realizes automatic operation and precise control of the production line, improving production efficiency and product quality.
• Integration of Building Automation Systems: In smart buildings, it is necessary to centrally manage and control systems such as air conditioning, lighting, elevators, and security. The A4H124-24FX module can be used to connect controllers and sensors of various subsystems, integrating scattered equipment into a network, realizing intelligent monitoring and management of building equipment, providing users with a comfortable, convenient and safe environment, and achieving the purpose of energy conservation.
• Data Transmission in Energy Management Systems: In the energy management systems of large enterprises or parks, it is necessary to monitor and analyze the usage of energy such as electricity, water, and gas in real-time. The A4H124-24FX module can connect energy metering equipment and monitoring devices distributed in various places, and quickly transmit energy data to the central management system, so that managers can understand energy consumption in a timely manner, formulate reasonable energy management strategies, and realize optimal utilization of energy.
