Phoenix Contact FL Series – Industrial Ethernet Gigabit Modular Switches | Accessories for Modular Managed Switches:

Our most powerful switch is the Modular Managed Switch. As a Gigabit switch with optional Layer 3 function, it is particularly suitable for use as an automation backbone and for connection to the higher-level company network. A large range of combinable media modules as well as use in PROFINET RT and EtherNet/IP™ offer maximum flexibility.

The FL Series Switches offer you switch functions and NAT routing in just one DIN rail device. The network devices communicate via seven LAN ports within the machine. The eighth port is used as the WAN port for the connection to the higher-level company network. With industrial routers and Layer 3 switches from Phoenix Contact, you can integrate machines, production systems or entire subnetworks into your higher-level company network. The switch with NAT routing function combines the properties of a Managed Switch with those of a 1:1 NAT router – in a single DIN rail device. The Managed Switches with a modular design form the backbone of your automation application.
