A B C Secure communication Protect your network against unauthorized access by persons or malware with the mGuard security routers. The robust and industrial security appliances include fi rewall, routing, and VPN functionalities to protect against malicious cyber attacks and inadvertent malfunctions. Remote communication The TC MOBILE I/O signaling system monitors sensors via the cellular network and switches relays remotely. The TC ROUTER cellular router enables high-speed data connections via the 4G LTE networks. With Ethernet extenders, you can connect networks over distances up to 20 kilometers using simple two-wire lines. Easy commissioning with Plug and Play enables cost-effective networking and diagnostics of all devices and paths via IP. Switches Ethernet switches ensure reliable, efficient data exchange. Unmanaged Switches feature compact designs with Gigabit transmission speeds and fl exible installation options. Managed Switches offer you additional optimum real-time properties, redundancy mechanisms for high network availability, prioritization of your data traffic, and various network diagnostics options. D E F Device communication Serial device servers and gateways allow the simple integration of legacy serial devices and fi eld buses into modern Ethernet networks. You can also integrate sub-segments or older systems without Ethernet into your network to facilitate consistent, transparent communication. The gateways support the data transmission protocols used most frequently in industrial applications, including Modbus, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, HART, and OPC UA. Communication infrastructure Eliminate the need for a separate power supply when installing devices in difficult to access or remote system parts. With industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices from Phoenix Contact, power supply and data transfer are combined in the same Ethernet cable. Surge protection for information technology Reliably protect sensitive signal interfaces with high-performance surge protection and achieve low attenuation, also with high bandwidths. The DATATRAB DT product family provides protection for a large number of applications, such as high-speed networks up to 10-Gigabit Ethernet, networks with RS-485 interfaces, as well as analog and digital telecommunications interfaces, including DSL.
