STRIDE PRO Unmanaged+ industrial Ethernet switches are a step up from basic unmanaged switches, adding efficient network optimization with IGMP snooping (traffic prioritization), port monitoring, port alarms, VLAN support, and more. IGMP snooping ends network flooding by transmitting data only to the specific devices requiring it. Port mirroring takes a view of your network and sends a copy of all the traffic from a selected port to a monitor port, which can be used for diagnostics.
Pfannenberg, Inc. offers its PROTECT Series of SIL-certified and C1D2-capable signaling devices. With virtually unbreakable die-cast aluminum housings, PROTECT devices are suited for applications in fire alarm, marine, machine safety, functional safety, and hazardous areas where reliability and durability are critical. The PROTECT Series includes high-performance sounders and combined sounder-light devices with six lens color options and Xenon or LED visual signaling to meet a wide range of application requirements.
The complete control, configuration, and data access IO-Link and Modbus provide is now available in the flush-mount S22 Programmable Indicator and Programmable Touch Button. Operators can use IO-Link or Modbus to configure intuitive feedback via five animations and a full spectrum of custom colors, speeds, and intensities. Using IO-Link or Modbus simplifies device replacement, reduces wiring, and gives users access to dynamic data that improves operational efficiency. The S22’s flush-mount design sits tightly against panel, machine, and bracket surfaces for a more ergonomic, cleaner design.
