Rockwell Automation has expanded the range to include a variant that deploys Network Address Translation (NAT) capabilities. This capability allows designers to allocate IP addresses to downstream assets without fear of creating conflicts with existing IP address allocations. When the switch is installed with all the connected downstream equipment, a table is created which pairs the IP addresses used in the design, with IP addresses that are actually free and available on the network. Anyone wishing to interact with a downstream device can simply use the plant-side IP address and the switch will use the table to interface to the corresponding asset.
The Stratix 5700 is offered in three base port configurations – 6, 10 and 20 ports – each base model comes with dual power inputs, input and output alarms, console port, fibre-ready SFP slots (multi and single mode SFPs are available separately) and DIN rail mount. Options include: two Gig ports, SD flash card, IEEE 1588 support and conformal coating. Operating temperature is in the range of -40 to 60°C.
Tools for configuration and monitoring have been developed for both IT and manufacturing professionals. These tools can provide secure integration to the enterprise network, while allowing for easy setup and diagnostics from within the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture.
Key Features:
• Management and diagnostics from within both IT and controls environment
•
Simple device replacement via SD card that holds the configuration for easy
swap out
•
Default configurations for industrial automation and EtherNet/IP devices (Global
and Smartports)
•
Security features help ensure that only authorized devices, users and traffic
can access and traverse the network
