Functional Description

IS420ESWBH1A REV- E is an IONet Switch developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. Designed to facilitate high-performance network communication and enhance the connectivity of various components within the system. The IONet Switch is specifically engineered to support reliable Ethernet-based communication in complex industrial control environments, offering a range of advanced features and capabilities for data transmission and network management.

Features

• Fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x network standards, ensuring broad interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment and communication protocols. These standards provide the foundation for Ethernet networks, ensuring efficient data transmission and compatibility with existing infrastructure in industrial environments.
• The switch supports 10/100 Base Copper connections, offering high-speed data transmission over Ethernet networks. It features auto-negotiation capability, which automatically selects the best communication speed and duplex mode (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, full-duplex, or half-duplex) based on the connected network devices, enhancing flexibility and optimizing network performance.
• Provides full/half duplex auto-negotiation, allowing it to automatically detect and configure the appropriate transmission mode based on the capabilities of the connected devices. This feature ensures optimal performance for various networking scenarios, whether data needs to be transmitted in one direction (half-duplex) or simultaneously in both directions (full-duplex).
• This IONet switch is equipped with a 100 Mbps Fiber Optic (FX) uplink port, providing a reliable and high-speed connection for linking the switch to other network devices or systems over long distances. Fiber optic connections are ideal for industrial environments where data integrity and fast transmission speeds are critical.
• The switch supports HP-MDIX (High-Power Medium Dependent Interface Crossover) auto-sensing. This technology allows the switch to automatically detect and adjust for the wiring type, eliminating the need for crossover cables or manual configuration. This feature simplifies installation and ensures reliable communication between connected devices, even when the wrong type of Ethernet cable is used.
• Equipped with a range of LED indicators to provide clear, real-time status feedback. The LEDs show the Link Presence, Activity, Duplex, and Speed status for each port, with two color options to easily distinguish between different states. Additionally, a dedicated LED indicates the power status, allowing users to quickly check the operational health of the switch.
• The IONet Switch is designed to handle large volumes of data traffic efficiently. It features a minimum 256 KB buffer and supports 4 K media access. This ensures smooth data flow, reduces packet loss, and enhances overall network performance, even in high-demand environments.
