Unmanaged 10BASE-T1L Ethernet-APL Interoperable PSE Industrial

The RuggedNet GLAPS/Si is an unmanaged industrial Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) switch that features copper or fiber uplink ports and four single-pair 10BASE-T1L copper ports designed for digital instrumentation solutions used for Industrial process automation applications. The SPE switch can be deployed in a spur or trunk topology.

The GLAPS/Si switch features four 10BASE-T1L 3-pin terminal or IEC 63171-2 ports and two 10/100/1000 RJ-45 or 100/1000 fiber SFP uplink ports.

The switches are interoperable with Ethernet-APL Class A and C edge/field devices, and Class 3 and 4 trunk SPE switches. These switches are capable of delivering up to 92 watts per Single Pair Ethernet port, depending on the power class model type.

The GLAPS/Si SPE switches support 1.0V or 2.4V peak-to-peak signal amplitude voltage when connecting to Class A and C edge/field devices or Class 3 and 4 Trunk devices, respectively.

Depending on the model number, the SPE switch can be connected to a spur segment or to a trunk segment. A Spur segment has a maximum distance of 200 meters and data signal amplitude of 1.0 volt peak-to-peak. A trunk segment has a maximum distance of 1000 meters and data signal amplitude of 2.4 volts peak-to-peak.

The switch supports Dual Device mode, Directed Switch mode and Redundant Uplinks.

Dual Device mode enables the module to operate as two independent and isolated Ethernet switches. In Dual Device mode, the GLAPS/Si provides separate and independent data traffic paths between the two uplink ports and four SPE ports.

Directed Switch mode directs process automation multicast traffic only to the appropriate uplink port, preventing the multicast process automation traffic from flooding to other network ports.

Redundant fiber or copper uplinks provide protection and restoration for critical applications. In the event of a failure on the primary uplink port, the switch will automatically switchover to the secondary uplink port. Once the failed uplink port has been restored, the switch will return to the primary uplink port.

For daisy-chain applications, the second uplink port can be used to cascade multiple switches.

The GLAPS/Si modes of operation can be configured using easily accessible DIP-switches. Each DIP-switch function is labeled on the top of the SPE switch for ease of identification and use.

The switch is available with Small Form Pluggable (SFP) transceiver receptacle ports or 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. The SFP ports support 10/100/1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-T copper transceivers and 100Mbps and 1000Mbps standard, CWDM and DWDM fiber transceivers in a variety of distances and fiber types.

The switch can be wall or rack mounted using a wall mount bracket (8260-3) and shelf (8260-0) or DIN-rail mounted using the included DIN-rail mounting clip. The switch is available with dual DC input power.
