What is the input voltage range of the 1771-IVN module?
Answer: The input voltage range for the 1771-IVN module is 10 – 30V dc.

Input Filter Characteristics
Functional role: Input filtering is mainly used to limit the impact of voltage transients caused by contact bounce and electrical noise on the module. In industrial environments, the frequent starting and stopping of electrical equipment, motor operation, etc. may generate electrical noise, while the contact bounce of mechanical contacts may also cause voltage fluctuations. These disturbances, if left untreated, may cause the module to misinterpret the input signals, affecting the normal operation of the system. 1771-IVN module’s input filtering feature effectively reduces these disturbances and ensures that the module accurately recognises the input signals.

Importance: This filtering feature is critical to the stable operation of the module. It ensures that the module can accurately acquire input signals in complex electromagnetic environments, avoiding erroneous signals caused by voltage transients, and thus guaranteeing the stable and reliable operation of the entire control system. In factories with a large number of electrical equipment, all kinds of electrical noise are intertwined, and if the module does not have good filtering characteristics, its input signal will be easily interfered with, resulting in system control deviation, while the input filtering function of the 1771-IVN module can effectively reduce this risk.

Preparation before installation:
Static electricity protection: the module is sensitive to static electricity, touch grounded objects, wear a wrist strap when operating, avoid touching the backplane connectors and internal circuit components, and place it in a static shielding box when not in use.
Directive Compliance: CE marked, compliant with EU EMC and Low Voltage Directives, meets relevant standards.

Compatibility: Can be used in 1771 I/O chassis, but not with 1771-AL PLC – 2/20 or 2/30 local adapters.
Power Calculation: Module draws 500mA from the 1771 I/O power supply and needs to calculate the total power in the chassis to prevent overloading.
Module Positioning: Can be installed in slots other than the leftmost slot (reserved for PC processor or adapter modules) with care to avoid electromagnetic interference.
Installation Procedure:

Jumper Setting: If replacing an A or B series module, set the A/B analogue jumper from POS G to POS E; select the input type (voltage or current) by configuring the jumper, but all inputs must be either single-ended or differential and cannot be mixed .
Module Installation: Smoothly insert the module into the chassis rails after power is removed, secure the chassis latch and locking lever, and connect the 1771-WG wiring arm.
Wiring Connection: Connect the I/O devices, note the difference in connection between single-ended and differential inputs, avoid mixing 2-wire and 4-wire transmitter inputs, the sensor cable should be shielded and grounded.

Grounding operation: The foil shield and drain wire of the shielded cable are grounded at one end only, connected to the chassis mounting bolts, and insulated at the other end.
Module Configuration: A wide range of parameters can be configured via the Block Transfer Write command, such as 7 input voltage or current ranges, data format (BCD or binary), real-time sampling (100 ms – 3.1 sec selectable), digital filtering (0.00 BCD – 0.99 BCD),** scaling (max range ±9999 BCD)**, etc. The default configuration is 1 – 5V dvd. Default configurations are 1 – 5V dc or 4 – 20mA, BCD format, no real-time sampling, etc.

Troubleshooting: There are green RUN and red FAULT indicators on the front panel of the module, and faults can be judged by the status of the indicators and the status bits in the BTR file. If RUN blinks and FAULT is off, it means waiting for configuration; if RUN is off and FAULT is on, it may be a hardware failure.

Series Differences: The A, B, and C series modules differ in indicator lights, input data handling, default scaling, block transfer length, configuration plugs, compatibility, calibration procedures, and agency approvals. For example, the A and B series modules have a green run indicator that is always on at power-up, while the C series modules blink until they are configured to receive BTW; the A and B series modules input data is clamped at the range endpoints, while the C series modules can return data both above and below the range endpoints.

Key Issues:
How are 1771-IFE A/B/C modules installed to prevent static discharge?
Answer: Discharge static electricity by touching a grounded object; wear an approved wrist strap grounding device; do not touch the backplane connectors, pins, and internal circuitry components of the module; use an antistatic workbench if available; and place the module in a static-shielded box when not in use.

How are the module’s input ranges and data formats configured?
Answer: Input ranges are configured via Word 1 and Word 2 of the Block Transfer Write command, with a 2-bit setting for each channel and a choice of 7 voltage or current ranges; data formats are set via Bits 09 – 10 of Word 3, with a choice of BCD, Binary Complement, or Symbol Amplitude Binary formats, typically BCD for PLC-2 and Binary Complement for PLC-3 and PLC-5.

What is the difference between Series A, B, and C modules in terms of indicator display?
Answer: Series A and B modules have a green run LED that comes on and stays on at power up and provides only 3 digits of diagnostic information; Series C modules have a green run LED that blinks at power up and stays on until a configuration BTW is received and provides 6 digits of diagnostic information representing 6 possible faults.

Module Overview: The 1771-IFE Analogue Input Module is an intelligent block transfer module that interfaces with block transfer capable Allen-Bradley programmable controllers to enable data interaction between analogue input signals and the controller. It is a single-slot module that requires no external power supply (passive sensors require user-supplied loop power) and is capable of processing 16 single-ended or 8 differential analogue inputs and converting them to a specified data format for transmission to the processor.

Installation Procedure:
Pre-installation Preparation: Before installation, calculate the power requirements of all modules in the chassis to avoid overload, determine the location of the modules in the I/O chassis (any slot except the leftmost slot), and key the backplane connectors.

Static protection: Wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded object during operation, avoid touching the backplane connector pins, and place the module in a static-shielding bag when not in use.
Wiring operation: Connect the 1771-WG wiring arm, single-ended inputs and differential inputs have different connection methods, and the analogue input signal should be within ±14.25V, unused channels should be shorted to the common terminal of the module. The module defaults to a 1 – 5V DC voltage input, which can be changed via the configuration plug.

Programming points:
Block Transfer Programming: The module communicates with the processor via a bi-directional block transfer, the block transfer write command is used to initialise the configuration, the rest of the time it is mainly in block transfer read mode.
Examples of programming for different processors: PLC-2 is programmed with the note that read and write instructions cannot be enabled at the same time; PLC-3 uses a binary file for storing module related data; PLC-5 uses a separate control file and is conditional on an enable bit.
Scan Time: The scan time refers to the time it takes for the module to read the input channels and put the new data into the data buffer, which is related to the module configuration, e.g. 12.5ms for 8 differential inputs without filtering, 25ms for 16 single-ended inputs without filtering.

Module Configuration:
Input Range Selection: 5 types of voltage or 3 types of current input ranges can be configured, set by the specified word of the Block Transfer Write command.
Other Configuration Options: Includes selection of input type (single-ended or differential), data format (BCD or binary, etc.), digital filtering, real-time sampling and scaling, and other functions.

Data Reading and Diagnostics:
Data reading: Transfer module status and data to processor data table through block transfer read programming, data contains diagnostic bits, input values and other information.
Troubleshooting: The module reports faults through indicators and status bits, e.g., the red FAULT indicator lights up to indicate a fault, and the type of fault can be determined according to the diagnostic bits.

Calibration operation:
CALIBRATION TOOLS: Calibration requires a digital voltmeter (e.g., Keithley 191 or Fluke 8300A), a calibration tool (p/n 35F616), potentiometer sealant, industrial terminals (1770 – T3, etc.), and a backplane expansion card (1771 – EZ).
Calibration procedure: Adjust the 10V reference voltage, then zero the input offset. The module must be powered on for 30 minutes before calibration and cannot be calibrated in the operating system.
Technical specifications: The module has various technical specifications, such as input voltage ranges from +1 to +5V dc, current ranges from +4 to +20mA, 12-bit binary resolution, 0.1% of full scale range @ 25 °C, and so on.

Key Issues:
What are the key things to keep in mind when installing 1771-IFE modules?
Answer: Installation requires calculating the power requirements of all modules in the box to avoid overloading; select a location other than the leftmost slot for installation; key the backplane connector; protect against static electricity and avoid touching the backplane connector pins; when connecting the 1771-WG wiring arm, pay attention to the connection of single-ended and differential inputs to ensure that the analogue input signals are in the range of ±14.25V, and that unused channels are shorted to the module common; the module’s default 1 – 5V DC voltage inputs can be configured as required. Unused channels are shorted to the common of the module; the module defaults to a 1 – 5V DC voltage input, which can be changed as required by configuring the plug.

How is the module programmed differently on different processors?
Answer: In PLC-2 programming, it is important to note that read/write commands cannot be enabled at the same time, and specific memory bits are used to control the block transfer order; PLC-3 uses a binary file to store module related data, and the industrial terminal will prompt for the creation of a control file; and PLC-5 uses a separate control file, and conditions each rung with an enable bit rather than a completion bit.

How do I calibrate the 1771-IFE module?
Answer: Calibration requires a digital voltmeter, calibration tool, potentiometer sealant, industrial terminal and backplane expansion card. First, adjust the 10V reference voltage, turn off the power of the processor and I/O chassis, insert the module into the expansion card and then into the chassis, connect the voltmeter and then adjust potentiometer R64 to make the TP1 voltage 10.0000V (±.0002V max.); then, zero the input offset, turn off the power, move jumper E1, connect the voltmeter, turn on the power and adjust potentiometer R63 to make the TP2 voltage 0.0000V (±.0002V max.). 0.0000V (±0.0002V max.), then remove the power supply and restore jumper E1 to its default position.

Eingangs- und Ausgangsregister haben in verschiedenen Konfigurationen unterschiedliche Datenformate, und Statuswörter werden zur Anzeige verschiedener Fehler und Statusmeldungen verwendet.

Features of the resolver interface of the 1642 module
Connection characteristics: The 18-pin connector used to connect the resolver has several internal pins with specific functions. For example, pin 1 is located in the upper left corner and pins 1, 2, 15 and 16 are ground pins for connecting to the cable shield and reducing electrical noise interference. The function of pins 3 – 10 varies with the type of resolver. The two R1 and two R2 signals of the module are internally connected to facilitate the signal connection to the resolver and ensure the stability of the signal transmission.

Supported types: Compatible with a wide range of resolvers, it can be used with two AMCI single resolvers (e.g. HT – 20 series, H25 – XX series, HT – 20 – X series), or connected to an AMCI dual resolver (e.g. HTT – 20 – X series) or an Autotech dual resolver (RL210 128 turn). For other types of resolver, support is also possible through the use of the AMCI RM reference module, which significantly extends the range of applications.

Electrical characteristics: The resolver is supplied with a reference voltage which can be selected between 5kHz and 2.5kHz. The default value of 5kHz is suitable for most applications, and a setting of 2.5kHz improves system performance when cable lengths exceed 100ft. Rotary transformer signals are low-voltage, low-power signals, the wiring should follow the A – B wiring guidelines, treated as Category 2 cable, and can not be installed in the same pipeline with the AC power line or high-power AC and DC I/O lines, to avoid electromagnetic interference affecting the signal transmission.

Troubleshooting features: Sensor fault detection is available to detect faults caused by improper wiring, electrical noise, or sensor damage. By default, sensor faults are not latched and fault conditions are automatically cleared when a valid signal is detected. However, if transient faults need to be captured reliably, the Sensor Fault Lockout parameter can be enabled, after which a Clear Error command needs to be sent to clear the fault, making it easier for the user to troubleshoot and handle the fault.

Brand Background
Hirschmann has a longstanding reputation in the field of network communications, having built the world’s first fibre-optic Ethernet in 1984 at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, and pioneered HIPER – Ring technology in 1990. Its products are used in both industrial and office environments and cover a wide range of applications from Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet to fieldbus systems and ASI connectors for actuators and sensors. In industrial automation, process control, traffic control and office communication scenarios, Hirschmann products have become the trusted choice of many companies due to their outstanding reliability and stability, providing solid support for the construction of efficient and stable network communication systems.
Second, the specification parameters (because we have not found the precise parameters, the following is a similar module speculation)

Port type and number: Referring to the same series of products, it may be equipped with various types of ports, such as 10/100Base – TX electrical port, which is used for connecting traditional Ethernet cables to meet the needs of short-distance equipment access; or 100Base – FX multi-mode SC port, which is suitable for short and medium distances, higher bandwidth requirements and the need for anti-interference fibre optic connectivity scenarios. The number of ports may be set to more than one according to the scale and complexity of the actual application scenarios to achieve efficient

interconnection between multiple devices.
Transmission rate: It is likely to support Fast Ethernet standard, i.e., 100Mbps transmission rate, to guarantee the fast transmission of data in the network and to meet the business needs of general industrial control and office network with small data volume but high real-time requirements. For some application scenarios with higher requirements for data transmission, it is not excluded that it has the ability to work with other high-speed modules to achieve higher bandwidth.

Performance characteristics
High reliability: Based on Hirschmann’s mature industrial-grade design concept, the module can adapt to the harsh working environment. With excellent anti-electromagnetic interference capability, it can effectively avoid data loss or incorrect transmission due to signal interference in strong electromagnetic environments, such as industrial production workshops, ensuring stable and reliable data communication. At the same time, it can also maintain normal operation under complex conditions such as mechanical vibration and temperature changes, reducing equipment failures caused by environmental factors.
Efficient Data Processing: Advanced data processing chips and algorithms are used internally, which can quickly debug and demodulate Ethernet transmission signals, and accurately convert differential signals on the network line into digital signals recognisable by the CPU. When the data traffic is large, the optimised caching mechanism and data forwarding strategy can also guarantee the high efficiency of data processing, reduce the transmission delay and improve the overall network performance.

Model supplement
In the Hirschmann Ethernet module product line, the GMM 20 series is also available in many different configurations. For example, some models may have different port combinations, some focus on more electrical port configurations, which are suitable for networks with traditional cable-connected devices, while others increase the number of optical ports to meet the needs of long-distance, high-speed optical communication. There are also models that expand on functional features, such as support for specific network protocols, in order to adapt to the special requirements of specific industries or application scenarios. These different models together constitute a rich product matrix to meet the diverse needs of network construction.

Scenario Applications
Industrial automation production: In automated production lines, the module can connect various types of sensors, controllers, actuators and other equipment. The data collected by the sensor is quickly transmitted to the controller for analysis and processing, and the controller sends commands to the actuator through the module according to the analysis results to achieve accurate control of the production process. For example, in automobile manufacturing factories, this module ensures efficient communication between various production line equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.

Intelligent traffic monitoring: Used in traffic signal light control system, the module can transmit real-time signal light status data to the traffic management centre, and at the same time receive control instructions from the centre to adjust the signal light timing. In the highway monitoring system, the video data collected by the camera can be quickly transmitted to the monitoring centre to provide a basis for traffic management decisions and ensure road traffic safety and smooth flow.
Enterprise office network: In the enterprise office environment, office computers, printers, servers and other equipment can be connected to build a stable internal local area network. Employees can quickly access shared files and use network printers, and the server can efficiently provide data services for each terminal device to enhance the efficiency of corporate office and information technology.

Precautions
Installation environment: Avoid installation in high temperature, humidity or strong corrosive environment. High temperatures may lead to a decline in the performance of the module’s internal electronic components, shortening the service life; humid environments are prone to cause circuit short-circuit failures; strong corrosive gases or liquids may erode the module shell and internal circuits, damaging the equipment. It is recommended to install the module in a well-ventilated environment with suitable temperature (generally 0 – 50℃) and moderate relative humidity.

Connection Adaptation: Ensure that the specification of the connected cable matches the module port. Using cables that do not meet the specifications may result in severe signal degradation, reduced transmission rates, or even failure to communicate. For example, when connecting a 100Base-FX optical port, use a fibre optic cable of the corresponding specification, and make sure that the type of fibre optic (singlemode or multimode) is compatible with the module. At the same time, when connecting the electrical port, choose an Ethernet cable that meets the standard, and ensure that the cable is of good quality, with no damage or breakage.

Network Configuration: Before connecting to the network, it is necessary to correctly configure the network. According to the IP address planning of the network, set the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and other parameters of the module. Incorrect network configuration will result in the module not being able to communicate normally with other devices. If it involves complex network environment, such as the existence of VLAN delineation, routing settings, etc., it requires professional personnel to carry out fine configuration to ensure the stable operation of the module in the network and accurate data transmission.

Brand Background
Hirschmann has been a mainstay in the field of industrial networking since its founding in 1924 with a factory in Esslingen, Germany. 1984 saw the establishment of the world’s first fibre-optic Ethernet at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, which revolutionised industrial network communications, and 1990 saw the world’s first HIPER-Ring (Redundant Ethernet), a solid foundation for stable operation of critical systems in complex environments.

In 1990, the company was the first in the world to introduce HIPER-Ring (Redundant Ethernet), which laid a solid foundation for the stable operation of critical systems in complex environments. In 2007, Hirschmann became a part of Baxter, Inc. to further expand its business with new resources. Hirschmann entered the industrial network market earlier, with its deep technical accumulation and keen insight into the market, the product application areas are extremely wide, covering office communications, production automation, process control, traffic control, and independent machine control systems and other industries, of which the advantages in the power and traffic industry is particularly significant.

Second, the performance characteristics
High Reliability: To cope with the complexity of industrial environments, the MM20 – M4M4M4SYHH switch adopts a redundant design. In terms of power supply, it is equipped with redundant power supply modules or supports dual power inputs. When the main power supply fails suddenly, the backup power supply can be seamlessly switched in a very short time to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the switch, effectively avoiding network paralysis due to power supply interruption, which is of great significance for the critical industrial production links that cannot be easily shut down. In terms of link redundancy, it supports link aggregation technology, which bundles multiple physical links into one logical link, not only increasing the link bandwidth, but also providing link redundancy, so that when one of the physical links fails, the data can be automatically switched to other normal links for transmission, ensuring the continuity of network communication.

Meanwhile, the switch has a powerful self-diagnostic function, through the internal integrated intelligent monitoring chip and software algorithms, it can monitor its own hardware status in real time, such as whether the ports are damaged, whether the temperature of the chip is too high, whether the memory reads and writes normally, etc. Once the failure is detected, it will immediately notify the operation and maintenance personnel through the indicator light, alarm message and other ways, which provides a strong support for the rapid troubleshooting and repair of the problem.

Powerful network management capability: supports multiple management methods, which greatly facilitates the operation needs of different users. Users can manage the switch through the web interface. Simply enter the IP address of the switch into the browser and enter the intuitive management interface, where you can easily set various parameters of the switch, such as port configuration, VLAN delineation, QoS policy, etc. For professional network engineers who are familiar with command operation, it is very convenient for them to manage the switch in a convenient way. For professional network engineers who are familiar with command operation, the switch also supports command line interface (CLI) management, which provides a more accurate and efficient way of configuration and is suitable for in-depth configuration and troubleshooting in complex network environments.

In addition, the switch may also support centralised management through dedicated network management software, which allows administrators to carry out unified monitoring and management of multiple switches distributed in different areas in large industrial networks, greatly improving management efficiency. In the details of network management functions, the fine VLAN delineation function can divide a physical network into multiple logically independent virtual LANs. In industrial environments, different production segments, departments, or devices may need to be isolated from each other in order to improve the security and management efficiency of the network, for example, by dividing the network where the production equipment is located and the network in the office area into different VLANs, it can prevent viruses or unauthorised access to the office network from causing damage to the office network.

For example, dividing the network where the production equipment is located and the office area network into different VLANs can prevent viruses or illegal access in the office network from affecting the normal operation of the production network, and at the same time, the VLAN division can optimise the network traffic, reduce the interference of broadcast storms, and improve the overall performance of the network; QoS (Quality of Service) settings are supported, and the requirements for network bandwidth and transmission latency are different for different types of data traffic in an industrial network. With QoS function, administrators can set different priorities for different traffic according to the type and importance of data to ensure priority transmission of business-critical data and stable operation of industrial production processes.

Excellent adaptability to industrial environments: The temperature environment of industrial sites is complex and variable, from high-temperature metallurgical workshops to cold storage environments. MM20-M4M4M4SYHH managed Ethernet switches have a wide operating temperature range, generally adapting to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C or even worse, enabling stable operation in various extreme temperature environments and guaranteeing reliable communication of industrial networks. It can operate stably in various extreme temperature environments to ensure reliable communication in industrial networks.

There are a large number of electromagnetic interference sources in the industrial environment, such as motors, frequency converters and other equipment, in order to cope with this challenge, the switch adopts special shielding and filtering technology in the hardware design, which is able to effectively resist electromagnetic interference and ensure the accuracy and stability of data transmission, even in the environment of strong electromagnetic interference, such as near the electric power substation or large-scale machining workshop, the switch can work normally, avoiding data loss or stability caused by electromagnetic interference. Even in strong electromagnetic interference environments, such as near power substations or large-scale machining workshops, the switch can work normally, avoiding data loss or incorrect transmission caused by electromagnetic interference. Considering the diversity of industrial application scenarios, the switch supports DIN-rail, wall-mounted, rack-mounted and other installation methods, which is convenient for deployment in various system environments.

Specifications
Port Parameters: Equipped with 4 Ethernet electrical ports (RJ45 interface) for connecting twisted-pair devices, which is convenient and low-cost, suitable for short-distance and less EMI scenarios; at the same time, it has 4 Ethernet optical ports (may be SC, ST, etc.), and the optical fibre ports have significant advantages in long-distance transmission and EMI resistance, which can satisfy different transmission requirements. In terms of port rate, the Ethernet electrical and optical ports are likely to support common rates such as 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1Gbps to adapt to the data transmission speed requirements of different devices. In industrial automation production lines, the data transmission rate requirements of different devices are different, and the switch’s multirate ports are able to match these requirements well and ensure efficient data transmission.

Network protocol support: It fully supports TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP and other common network protocols, which makes it easy to be integrated into various complex industrial network architectures. In some large-scale industrial enterprises, there may be a variety of devices and systems of different ages and standards, each using different network protocols for communication. With its wide range of protocol support, the MM20-M4M4M4SYHH module is able to realise a seamless connection with these devices and systems, ensuring the interoperability of the entire industrial network.

Protection level: In view of the harshness of the industrial environment, the switch may have a high protection level, such as meeting certain standards in dustproof and waterproof, to protect the internal electronic components from dust and water vapour erosion, prolonging the service life of the equipment, and ensuring stable operation in scenarios such as dusty mining environments or humid offshore operating platforms.

Supplementary Models
Hirschmann has a wide range of switch models to meet the diverse needs of different customers and applications. For example, RS20 – 0400 and RS20 – 0800 in RS series, among which RS20 – 0400 is a 100Gb end switch with a certain number of Ethernet ports, which can be used in small-scale industrial network scenarios that require relatively fewer ports and 100Gb data transmission rate, such as the connection of local production line equipments in small-scale factories, and RS30 – 0808, RS30 – 0808, RS30 – 1602 and other models with Gigabit terminals are suitable for scenarios with higher data transmission rate requirements and relatively large network scale, and can be used to connect industrial computers, high-performance servers and other equipment to ensure the rapid transmission of large amounts of data.

Modular switch series, such as MS20-08, MS20-16, etc., are highly flexible and suitable for almost all electrical and optical port combinations, while allowing users to change the port density and configuration of the switch by replacing the media module with hot-swappable one, this type of switch only supports network management type, which is suitable for industrial projects with high flexibility requirements for network configuration, users can adjust the switch anytime according to the actual progress of the project and equipment access situation. Users can adjust the port settings of the switch at any time according to the actual project progress and equipment access.

Scenario Application
Industrial automation production line: In the field of industrial automation, this switch is the core equipment for building an efficient and stable industrial control network. It connects all kinds of key equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLC), sensors, actuators, industrial robots and so on in the production line. Sensors collect various data in the production process in real time, such as temperature, pressure, position, speed, etc., and quickly transmit them to PLC through the switch, which analyses and processes the data according to the preset program logic and sends precise control instructions to the actuators to achieve automated control of the production process.

In the automated assembly lines of automobile manufacturing factories, many robots, sensors and control systems frequently interact with each other, and MM20 – M4M4M4SYHH switches can ensure the efficient transmission of these data, avoiding production stagnation or errors due to the delay of data transmission, and greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, the switch can also achieve remote monitoring and management of the entire production line equipment, engineers can be in the control centre in real time to understand the operating status of the equipment, timely maintenance and troubleshooting, improve the reliability and stability of production.
Intelligent transport system: In rail transport, the switch undertakes the key data transmission task. During train operation, the train control system needs to communicate with the signal system on the ground in real time to obtain important information such as line signals, speed limits, turnout status, etc. to ensure the safety and efficiency of train operation.

MM20 – M4M4M4SYHH switch can ensure the fast and stable transmission of these key data between the train and the ground, and achieve the precise control and scheduling of the train. In train compartments, real-time video data collected by the video surveillance system also needs to be transmitted to the monitoring centre through this switch, so as to detect and deal with abnormalities in the compartments in a timely manner, and to safeguard the safety and riding experience of passengers. In the intelligent car park management system, the switch can be connected to vehicle detection equipment, road gate controller and management server, etc. Vehicle detection equipment through the switch will be vehicles in and out of the information quickly transmitted to the management server, the server according to this information to control the opening and closing of the road gate, and parking billing and other operations, which greatly improves the car park’s management efficiency and the level of intellectualisation.

Port Configuration and Connectivity
Multiple Port Types: The switch is equipped with a wide variety of ports to suit various connectivity needs. Among them, 4 Ethernet electrical ports (RJ45 connector) make it easy to connect to twisted-pair devices, such as industrial computers and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the workshop. This is a cost-effective connection for short distances and weak electromagnetic interference. It also has 4 Ethernet optical ports (may be SC, ST, etc.). Fibre optic ports have significant advantages in terms of long distance data transmission and resistance to electromagnetic interference. In large-scale factories, where different areas are far apart and there are many sources of electromagnetic interference, the fibre-optic ports with fibre-optic cables ensure stable, high-speed data transmission, effectively avoid signal attenuation and interference, and effectively guarantee the reliability of data transmission.

Flexible Port Expansion: The MM20-M4M49999SAHH switch is designed with future expansion needs in mind. Its architecture allows for a certain degree of port expansion through the addition of modules or the use of cascading. For example, when an organisation expands its production scale and needs to connect more devices, it can easily cascade another switch of the same type or compatible to increase the number of available ports to meet the growing demand for network connectivity without a major redesign of the entire network architecture.

Powerful Network Management
Multiple management paths: The switch supports management through a web interface, where users simply enter the IP address of the switch into a browser to access an intuitive management interface. Here, users can conveniently set various parameters of the switch, such as port configuration, VLAN delineation, QoS policy, etc. It also supports command line interface. Meanwhile, it also supports command line interface (CLI) management, which provides more accurate and efficient configuration means for professional network engineers who are familiar with command operations, and is suitable for in-depth configuration and troubleshooting in complex network environments. In addition, the switch may also support centralised management through dedicated network management software. In large industrial networks, administrators can use this software to monitor and manage multiple switches in different areas, significantly improving management efficiency.

Fine VLAN Delineation: VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) function is one of the highlights of the switch. Through VLAN segmentation, users can divide a physical network into multiple logically independent virtual LANs. In industrial environments, different production processes, departments, or devices may need to be isolated from each other to enhance network security and management efficiency. For example, dividing the network where the production equipment is located and the network in the office area into different VLANs can prevent viruses or unauthorised access in the office network from affecting the normal operation of the production network.

At the same time, VLAN delineation can also optimise network traffic, reduce interference from broadcast storms, and improve overall network performance.
QoS Quality of Service Assurance: MM20 – M4M49999SAHH switches support QoS (Quality of Service) settings. In industrial networks, different types of data traffic have different requirements on network bandwidth and transmission delay. For example, real-time equipment control data is extremely sensitive to transmission delay and needs to be prioritised, while some non-critical data, such as periodic inspection reports of equipment, requires relatively low transmission speed. With the QoS function, administrators can set different priorities for different traffic according to the type and importance of the data, ensuring that business-critical data is transmitted first, and ensuring the stable operation of industrial production processes.

Excellent Adaptability to Industrial Environments
Highly Reliable Design: The switch adopts a redundant design to address various challenges in industrial environments. In terms of power supply, it is usually equipped with redundant power modules or supports dual power inputs. When the main power supply fails, the backup power supply can be seamlessly switched over in a very short time to guarantee the continuous and stable operation of the switch and avoid network paralysis due to power interruption, which is crucial for some critical industrial production processes that cannot be easily shut down. In terms of link redundancy, it supports link aggregation technology, which bundles multiple physical links into one logical link, not only increasing link bandwidth but also providing link redundancy. When one of the physical links fails, data can be automatically switched to other normal links for transmission, ensuring the continuity of network communication.

Wide Temperature Operating Range: The temperature environment in industrial sites is complex and variable, ranging from high-temperature metallurgical workshops to cold storage environments, the MM20 – M4M49999SAHH managed Ethernet switches have a wide operating temperature range and are able to operate in a wide temperature range, generally from – 40°C to + 70°C or even more severe temperature conditions. This enables it to operate stably in a variety of extreme temperature environments, guaranteeing reliable communication in industrial networks.

Strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability: There are a large number of electromagnetic interference sources in industrial environments, such as motors, inverters and other equipment. To cope with this challenge, the switch adopts special shielding and filtering technologies in its hardware design, which can effectively resist electromagnetic interference and ensure the accuracy and stability of data transmission. Even in a strong electromagnetic interference environment, such as near a power substation or a large-scale machining workshop, the switch can still work normally, avoiding data loss or incorrect transmission due to electromagnetic interference.

Wide range of application scenarios
Industrial automation production line: In the field of industrial automation, the switch is used to connect all kinds of equipments in the production line, such as PLC, sensors, actuators, industrial robots, etc., to build a stable and reliable industrial control network. With the help of the switch, the devices can exchange data quickly and accurately, realising the automated control and cooperative operation of the production process. For example, in the automated assembly line of an automobile manufacturing factory, many robots, sensors and control systems frequently interact with each other, and MM20 – M4M49999SAHH switches can ensure the efficient transmission of these data, avoiding production stagnation or errors due to delays in data transmission, and dramatically improving production efficiency and product quality.

Intelligent transport systems: In the field of intelligent transport, especially rail transport, the switch undertakes key data transmission tasks. During train operation, the train control system needs to communicate with the signal system on the ground in real time to obtain important information such as line signals, speed limits, turnout status, etc., in order to ensure the safety and efficiency of train operation.MM20 – M4M49999SAHH switch can ensure the fast and stable transmission of these key data between the train and the ground, so as to achieve the precise control and scheduling of the train.

Meanwhile, in the train compartment, the real-time video data collected by the video surveillance system also needs to be transmitted to the monitoring centre through this switch, so as to discover and deal with abnormal situations in the compartment in time. In addition, in the intelligent car park management system, the switch can be connected to the vehicle detection equipment, gate controller and management server, etc., to achieve rapid transmission and processing of vehicle access information, to enhance the management efficiency and intelligent level of the car park.

Energy and Power Industry: In the energy and power industry, the switch is widely used in substations, power plants and all aspects of the smart grid.
