Microsens | Industrial Ethernet products

MICROSENS Industrial products include bothstandard RS232,422 & 485 and a complete range of Ethernet industrial products. They offer a complete solution with full management flexibility for harsh or dangerous environments.

Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Ring redundancy
The new 10 port Gigabit Switch is equipped with two 1000Base-SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic interfaces and therefore allows the implementation of a fault tolerant optical ring. In case of failure the MICROSENS patented technology assures the reconfiguration of the connection within less than 20 ms.

The Industrial Switch is offering 8 copper ports for the connection of Ethernet terminals like control systems, consoles or further network users. The Gigabit Switch can be configured and monitored by the Device Manager, a PC based management tool and, optionaly, SNMP.
Fast Ethernet Industrial Switch with Ring function
If an Ethernet component or even a complete segment fails, it frequently leads to machines stopping and therefore inevitably to production being halted. It is precisely to prevent this that MICROSENS has developed a mechanism for which a patent is pending that enables the Ethernet network to be reconfigured within milliseconds if an error occurs. If a component or link fails, all other nodes remain reachable via the intelligent ring topology over the Ethernet (rapid redundancy).

The switches are configured as appropriate for this special operation. In addition to the two 100Base-FX fiber connections for daisy chaining units.
Gigabit Industrial Access Point WLAN 802.11b/g
MICROSENS is the first vendor offering a Wireless Access Point for industrial environment with integrated switch. Due to this switch can be direct integrated into the industrial Ethernet ring topologies.

With the support of the wireless transmission standard IEEE 802.11g it is possible to reach a wireless bandwidth of 54 Mbps. The downward compatibility guarantees the support of existing equipment with 11 Mbps according IEEE 802.11b. Furthermore the Access Point has four twistedoair ports (1x 10/100/1000Base-T, 3x 10/100Base-TX) and two Gigabit Ethernet fiber ports (1000Base-X) for the Ring Topology integrated. If one device or fiber segment fails, all other network nodes can be still accessed due to the intelligent ring topology.
Fast Ethernet Industrial media converter
In addition to being deployed in local networks, Ethernet is spreading increasingly across production environments. Modern machine control systems and industrial plants are already equipped with 10/100Base-TX interfaces.

Production environments can also benefit from flexible media conversion by employing fibre optics as they are insensitive against electromagnetic interference and do not suffer from galvanic separation, enable longer transmission distances, and are highly reliable. However, deployment of fibre optics for such as active hubs, switches, and media converters in office
