Managed IP67 switch with 8, 16 or 24 Fast Ethernet ports
It fulfills all the specific EMC and fire prevention requirements for rail vehicles and also has numerous redundancy mechanisms plus two uplink ports with bypass relays. This means that connections between neighboring switches are maintained even when an Octopus fails. The unit can also be used in Ethernet Consist networks, which will in the future facilitate secure and standards-compliant onboard Ethernet communications for trains.
In addition, it can be seamlessly integrated into Profinet and Ethernet / IP environments and support extensive management and security procedures as well as a variety of configuration and diagnostic functions. Other features include vibration-proof M12 connection technology, a redundant power supply, and an operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C. The Octopus Train-BP switches come in compact metal housings for wall mounting, measuring 184x189x70mm, 261x189x70mm, or 338x189x70mm, depending on the model.
Configuration can be carried out via an Ethernet interface using command line interface (CLI), DHCP relay agent option 82, HiDiscovery or RS232 interface, or via the ACA21 autoconfiguration adapter. RMON, port mirroring and LLDP (Topology Discovery 802.1ab) are available for diagnostic purposes. Alarms are signaled via an additional signal contact. On the front of the unit there are LEDs showing the device and network status and the correct power supply.
