HARTING has launched the Ha-VIS eCon 4000 M12T1 SPE, a single pair Ethernet (SPE) switch with IP67 protection. Designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments (tested for rolling stock according to EN 50155), the rugged metal housing provides secure communications.
Automatic master/slave configuration
The transmission is protected against shock and vibration and operates over a wide temperature range (-40 to +70°C). The switch is extremely compact (191 x 60 x 42 mm), offers eight ports and is available in two different versions. The eCon 4017GBT-BXT has a Gigabit uplink to the Ethernet network (M12 X-coded) and integrates up to 7 SPE devices via 100BaseT1. The eCon 4035GBT-BXT has a Gigabit uplink and provides five 100BaseT1 and two 1000BaseT1 ports as SPE interfaces.
Automatic master/slave configuration is a new feature for an unmanaged switch. The master and slave roles are automatically defined between the communication partners when a connection is established. The Ha-VIS eCon 4000 M12T1 switches are ideal for railway, general vehicle and automation applications. They provide Ethernet data transmission in harsh environments. Applications include production lines, camera-based quality assurance, passenger and driver information systems, video surveillance and ticketing systems.
