This is a networking module that control engineers can support, built for PLC networks, built for connecting Ethernet remote I/O, with fiber and redundancy by design. Ethernet IT switches connect office computers and servers, and they direct data. This is not an IT switch. As automation systems evolve toward distributed architectures and smart factories, high-speed and long-distance communication between PLC modules. A PLC control cabinet is a protective enclosure for your automation systems. Unaffected by electrical noise (EMI, RFI, and lightning), fiber optic cabling can be installed in areas containing rotating machinery, arc welders, etc. It can also be installed in cable trays containing. A fiber optic link to an S5-115U programmable controller is taken to exemplify a total of sixteen different configurations ( Figures 2-1 to 2-16). The UPC protects I/O equipment, power supplies, Fiber Optic Extenders (FOEs), and Terminal Block assemblies remotely located from the Experion C300. The UPC has an Ingress. PROFINET devices located in an ATEX/IECEx zone 1 or 21 can be connected to your PROFINET network via an optical connection.
