Korenix launches Modbus TCP in JetNet 4518 / 5012G / 5018G High-port Density Industrial Managed Switches for Optimizing Factory Automation Systems with Enhanced Connections and Easier, Cost-Effective Maintenance!

Shing-Tien City, Taipei, Taiwan, Province of China., November 21, 2011 - (PressReleasePoint) -

Korenix is pleased to announce it has released Modbus TCP/IP in the new v1.3 firmware of JetNet 4518-w / 5012G / 5018G its High-port density Ethernet switches for perfect integration in factory automation systems. The new Modbus TCP makes the switches more compatible when building factory network infrastructures by providing better flexibility and more possibilities for network connectivities in plants and easier network maintenance.

The newly supported Modbus TCP registers allow users to connect to data acquisition systems, such as HMIs and SCADA systems more easily, aiming to read their operating information using the supported Modbus TCP/IP master program. Users are as well capable of receiving the switches’ communication status, monitoring and maintaining them, etc... With the new feature, factory administration staff does not need to use additional management platforms to monitor equipment in the factory: with an integrated Modbus they can increase the compatibility of the switch in factories and other industrial applications while greatly saving costs.

Korenix offers JetNet 4518-w / 5012G / 5018G industrial high-port density gigabit & fast Ethernet switches with various port combinations to best meet your connection needs.
The JetNet 5012G has an absolutely unique design in the market that integrates 8 Fast Ethernet and 4 Gigabit, including 2 Gigabit SFP and 2 Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo ports for easy installation in applications with various distance and various speed requirements. The JetNet 4518-w and JetNet 5018G models are 16-port Fast Ethernet switches with additional 2 SFP Combo and 2 Gigabit SFP Combo ports for high-port density requiring networks with longer distance uplink data transmission.

The switches are designed with advanced management, security and redundancy features, such as MSTP and MSR for highly scalable and redundant networking, JetView Pro and LLDP for efficient network management via auto topology visualization as well as QoS, IGMP snooping, Private VLAN, SNMP, Layer 2+ Access Control List (ACL)…. for higher quality and enhanced security networking.

To work effectively in industrial applications, the switches, which are UL 508 hazardous and IEC 61000-6-2/4 heavy industry certified, provide a very robust design with IP 31 grade protection and high level EMS immunity. To work under extreme temperature conditions with low and high temperature variations, the standard JetNet 5012G/5018G models are provided with -25~70^oC operating temperature. For resistance to much tougher conditions, the wide operating temperature models are available with -40~70^oC for JetNet 5012G-w/5018G-w and -40~75^oC for JetNet 4518-w.

Combining Modbus to their intelligent management and security features, plus the rugged design, the switches become best solutions for optimizing factory automation and other industrialized network system deployments.

Other Korenix models with Modbus TCP support are:

• JetNet 4508 V2 --- 8-port Managed Fast Ethernet Switch
• JetNet 4508f V2 --- 8-port Managed Fast Ethernet Fiber Switch
• JetNet 4510 --- 10-port Managed Fast Ethernet Switch
• JetNet 5010G --- 10-port Managed Gigabit Switch
