Industrial Ethernet Switch has 5- port design.
Designed for use in applications with limited space, such as automation systems, Skorpion-5 is EISK5-100T switch that occupies only 1 in. of DIN rail. Product requires no operator intervention and operates over 0 to +60Ã-
Read More »Managed Ethernet Switches are offered with IGMP snooping.
Available with 5-24 ports in copper or copper/fiber combinations, EISX_M, EICP_M, and EISB_M Series are available with IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping. IGMP ensures group multicast traffic is forwarded to group member ports of switches and automatically ages out all learned multicast-port associations for devices which stop responding to query messages. Switches can also...

Server connects ARCNET and Ethernet networks.
Enabling users to access ARCNET network from Ethernet network, Model AI-SRVR functions as ARCNET server by executing communication requests from Ethernet client. Device will receive ARCNET packets and send data to Ethernet clients or reverse process for transmitted packets. Configuration is accomplished through EIA-232 serial port, and once configured, resident web server can be accessed to...
