Data strong IP67 switches from Murrelektronik - now available in EPLAN eBUILD Free

Murrelektronik is a family owned, internationally operating, automation technology company. More than 3000 specialists in 50 countries are working on economical and efficient electrical connections for plants and machines. The customized systems connect all electrical assemblies (signals, data and power supplies).

Murrelektronik’s holistic approach to solutions increases their customers' competitiveness. The focus here is on decentralization: moving the assemblies out of the control cabinet and close to the process. The solutions help the machine building industry to make the digital transformation in their facilities with innovative technologies for Industry 4.0, network installations, safety technology solutions, highly efficient IO-Link based concepts and powerful power solutions.

One example is the manageable Xelity 10 TX IP67 switch from Murrelektronik, which offers new possibilities for smart data management - decentrally and without a control cabinet. With up to ten Gigabit ports (optionally with PROFINET) and its high robustness and variety of variants, it represents the new benchmark for this product area.

The M12 L-coded power connectors (4 and 5-pin) ensure easy connection with power forwarding of up to 16 A. As a result of the free grounding concept, there are no specifications for grounding.  

Numerous configuration adjustments can be made on the integrated web server, such as port mirroring or port granular shutdown. Of course, the configuration can also be saved for a later service case or recurring configurations. High flow rates shorten the clock rates in applications.

Its wide range of variants and simple handling make the Xelity 10 TX IP67 extremely versatile and very broadly applicable. The switch is suitable for machine builders, plant engineers and component manufacturers alike, regardless of the industry.

The Xelity family also represents an efficient and economical system solution for integrating vision systems. The cameras required for industrial image processing can be quickly and efficiently integrated into a decentralized installation system using the switches. X-coded cables ensure smooth and error-free data transmission at up to 1 Gbit/s between the camera and the switch.

In the engineering phase, it is important to determine various devices and functions with simple and efficient means to ensure an infrastructure and continuous data flow. Before systems and devices are put into operation, planning is pending. Here, the customer often encounters a high degree of combination possibilities and technical characteristics. With the help of a selection guide for Murrelektronik switches, we have laid a first milestone to relieve the customer of essential decisions. The search through page-long catalogs is avoided by querying the required characteristic data in a configurator. Based on simple selection options, data is automatically generated in the customer's own EPLAN system. The Murrelektronik switch solution is accessed via the EPLAN eBUILD Free solution:
