Functional Description

IS420ESWBH3A REV-E is a Revision E version Ethernet Switch manufactured by General Electrics. It is a part of Mark VIe series. The REV-E switch is designed for versatile, secure mounting and efficient connectivity within industrial environments. It can be easily mounted on a DIN-rail using one of three GE-qualified DIN-rail mounting clips. The choice of clip depends on the hardware form, either ESWA or ESWB, as well as the desired mounting orientation. These clips are sold separately to allow for greater flexibility based on installation needs. Each switch comes with mounting screws to facilitate secure attachment, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial settings.

Network Compatibility and Performance

The switch supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards, providing seamless integration with various Ethernet protocols and devices. Key features include:

• 10/100 Base-T copper connections with auto-negotiation for easy integration with compatible devices.
• Full/half duplex auto-negotiation, allowing the switch to adjust data transfer modes automatically based on connected devices.
• 100 Mbps FX uplink port for high-speed connections to backbone or uplink networks, improving network scalability and performance.
• HP-MDIX auto-sensing capability, which automatically adjusts pin configurations to match connected devices, eliminating the need for crossover cables.

LED Indicators for Monitoring

The switch features LED indicators to provide real-time status updates, which helps operators quickly assess the network and power states:

• Link Presence, Activity, Duplex, and Speed LEDs per port, with two-color indicators to clearly display current statuses for each connection.
• A dedicated power LED provides clear visual confirmation of the switch's power status, ensuring immediate awareness of power continuity.

Memory and Redundancy

To handle high network traffic and ensure reliability, the IS420ESWBH3A includes:

• A 256 KB buffer for efficient data handling, preventing data loss during high traffic periods.
• 4 K media access control (MAC) addresses, enabling it to support a significant number of connected devices within the network.
• Redundant power supply inputs are configured in a Diode-OR arrangement, which ensures continuous operation even if one power supply fails. This redundancy is critical in maintaining network reliability and uptime, especially in industrial environments where interruptions can lead to costly downtime.
