A-B 1783-BMS20CL Ethernet Switch

The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS20CL is a high-performance, Layer 2 managed industrial switch from the Stratix 5700 series. It is designed to bridge the gap between the factory floor and IT environments by utilizing Cisco technology (IOS) while remaining user-friendly for industrial automation professionals.

### Product Overview

The 1783-BMS20CL is a compact, DIN-rail mounted switch featuring a total of 20 ports. It is specifically engineered to handle high-traffic automation networks, providing robust security, simplified integration via Studio 5000 Add-On Profiles (AOPs), and optimized multicast traffic management.

### Technical Specifications

### Key Product Advantages

• Cisco Integration: Built with Cisco technology, allowing IT departments to manage it using familiar tools while offering OT-friendly configuration.

• High Port Density: With 20 ports in a relatively small footprint, it is ideal for medium-to-large machine cells.

• Premier Integration: Integration into Rockwell’s Studio 5000 environment allows for easy setup, diagnostics, and monitoring via Logix controllers.

• Enhanced Security: Supports features like Port Security and 802.1x authentication to prevent unauthorized network access.

• Resiliency: Supports Device Level Ring (DLR) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for network redundancy and uptime.

### Important Considerations (Precautions)

• SFP Modules: If you use the SFP slots, ensure you purchase compatible Allen-Bradley or Cisco-approved SFP modules (1783-SFP series).

• Heat Dissipation: Maintain at least 50mm (2 in.) of clearance above and below the device for natural convection cooling.

• "Lite" Software Limits: This specific model uses the "Lite" software version. It supports essential Layer 2 features but lacks advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities found in the "Full" software versions.

• Grounding: Ensure the switch is properly grounded to the DIN rail to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).

### Typical Applications

• Manufacturing Cells: Connecting PLCs, HMIs, and I/O blocks in a high-density environment.

• Food and Beverage: Used in processing lines where reliability and remote monitoring are critical.

• Automotive Industry: Handling complex network topologies and high-speed data transfer across assembly lines.

• Infrastructure: Monitoring remote substations or water treatment facilities where environmental conditions are harsh.
