Features:
- IInterface Between Mark VIe/Mark VIeS Controllers and Industrial Ethernet Network
- Combines 10/100Base‑TX Copper Ports with 100Base‑FX Fiber Uplink for Flexible Connectivity
- Operates in Conjunction with I/O Modules and Real‑Time Automation Systems
The GE IS420ESWBH2A operates as an unmanaged industrial Ethernet/IONet switch, providing reliable network connectivity for all controllers, I/O modules, and monitoring devices within the system. It continuously manages data traffic between 10/100Base‑TX copper ports and 100Base‑FX fiber uplinks, ensuring stable and high‑speed communication across the network. While standard operation supports a single network path, the switch can be configured with redundant power inputs and multiple fiber connections to maintain uninterrupted communication in the event of a primary link or power failure. The IS420ESWBH2A incorporates industrial-grade construction and high environmental tolerance, offering improved reliability and signal integrity over previous switch models in harsh automation environments.
The GE IS420ESWBH2A provides essential network switching functions common to the entire automation system, and is a critical component of the communication path, directly affecting reliable data exchange between controllers, I/O modules, and monitoring devices. One or more IS420ESWBH2A switches may be required per network depending on the system size and redundancy requirements. The IS420ESWBH2A occupies a standard DIN-rail or rack-mounted position and is always installed to maintain proper alignment and connectivity within the industrial Ethernet network.
For dual‑link or redundant network applications, the GE IS420ESWBH2A may require a second switch installed to provide an alternate communication path. In addition to standard single‑switch operation, the redundant configuration supports automatic failover. The system continually monitors the status of both switches and their connections. If the primary switch or network path is detected to be non‑responsive or transmitting outside expected parameters, the system automatically transfers network traffic to the secondary switch and generates an event in the system log.
The IS420ESWBH2A ESWB ETHERNET SWITCH may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
