Redundant fiber DIN rail mount Ethernet networking modules for PLCs and Ethernet field devices

Multi-fault tolerant, Ethernet communications built for industrial applications

The OCR fiber Ethernet networking module is not an IT switch.  The DIN rail mount OCR module is an OT (operational technology) networking module that is built for critical industrial Ethernet applications and networking together Ethernet PLCs.

Industrial applications for Ethernet networking are different from IT applications.  If a networking module fails, it needs to be hot swappable and plug and play, not complicated with command line interface programming; and taking minutes for boot up is not acceptable on the plant floor after power cycle.

An industrial Ethernet module needs to be able to transport multiple industrial Ethernet protocols, at the same time -- for example Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP, and have options for other industrial protocols such as ControlNet, Data Highway, IEC 61850, R/IO, GE Genius, RS-232, RS-485, RS-422, CTI, Siemens, Texas Instruments Remote I/O, and Modbus Serial.

And, it needs to be compatible with any vendors PLCs or DCS.

That's exactly what the Phoenix Digital fiber Ethernet networking modules provide, and they are available as DIN rail mount, ControlLogix in-chassis modules and PLC-5 in-chassis modules.

The OCR module is a DIN rail Ethernet module that works with any variation of Ethernet and is compatible with any vendors PLC or DCS.

Overview

Built-for control engineers

  • DIN rail mount
  • No command line interface configuration
  • Plug and play, hot swapable
  • 10-second power-up
  • Transports multiple industrial protocols at the same time

Built-for critical networks

  • Redundant fiber between OCR modules
  • Fiber facilitates long distances, eliminates ground loop issues, and impervious to EMI
  • Copper Ethernet to PLCs and field devices
  • 0 second network convergence time if a fiber fails or a module fails
