Westermo Products

 

Industry Line

 

The i-line family of Ethernet products is a product range optimized for machine building, building automation, factory automation and CCTV surveillance applications including standard and compact Ethernet switches, media converters and Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches. The Westermo i-line offers industry grade components, easy-to-use features, and reliable and consistent operation. All i-line devices are DIN rail mountable and have dual 24VDC power screw terminal inputs making them suitable for applications where a secondary power source is used to maintain high system integrity. Each device in the range incorporates a configurable relay that triggers an alarm signal for port or power events. The rugged IP-31 rated aluminium alloy enclosure is ideal for heat dissipation and enables a wide operating temperature range.

Among the products being introduced is a standard eight port 10/100TX Fast Ethernet switch (SDI-880). This is equipped with a 2 Gbit/s packet switch engine that supports two priority queues so as to provide optimum data forwarding performance. A second eight port Ethernet fibre switch (SDI-862) has six 10/100TX ports and a choice of either two multimode or single mode fibre ports, enabling data to be transmitted for distances up to 2km or 30km respectively.

 

Two compact (111.8 mm x 30 mm x 98.2 mm) five port switches are also available. The SDI-550 is a simple 5-port 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch, whilst the SDI-541 is a five port industrial fast Ethernet switch with four 10/100Base-TX ports and a 100Base-FX port supporting both single and multimode fibre. Both models can operate with variable power sources including a 24VAC supply, making them ideal for the building automation industry.

The i-line family also includes two PoE switches designed to ensure high-bandwidth uplink connection for large-scale surveillance in transportation system networks. Models with either four or eight IEEE 802.3af Fast Ethernet PoE ports are available, both offering 2 Gigabit uplink ports. An integrated 12 V to 48 V power booster makes the units ideal to support the deployment of standard PoE IP cameras on buses, trains and ships.

Completing the i-line range is a selection of Ethernet media converters. The MCI-211G converts 10/100/100TX to Gigabit fibre and its hot swappable Small Form-factor Plugable (SFP) fibre receiver allows the unit to operate over almost any type and distance of fibre supported by SFP. The MCI-422 model is not only a 2 channel RJ45 to fibre media converter, but also a compact 4-port 10/100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet switch. The unit is simply configured as either device using a DIP switch. The device supports either multimode or single mode fibre.
