🏭 Application Scenarios

Manufacturing Automation: Connect PLCs, HMIs, I/O modules, and variable frequency drives across production lines with deterministic latency under 10 microseconds.

Process Control Networks: Integrate DCS systems, field instruments, and remote monitoring stations in oil & gas, chemical processing, and water treatment facilities.

Machine-Level Networking: Build resilient Ethernet backbones for CNC machines, robotic cells, and packaging equipment requiring 24/7 operation.

Fiber Uplink Deployments: Extend network reach beyond 100 meters using the dedicated fiber port for inter-building or EMI-prone environments.

✅ Solutions & Benefits

✔️ Zero-Configuration Deployment: Unmanaged architecture eliminates setup complexity—power on and connect devices instantly without IP addressing or VLAN configuration.

✔️ Industrial-Grade Durability: Conformal-coated PCBs and fanless design withstand vibration, dust, humidity, and extreme temperatures common in factory floors.

✔️ Seamless Rockwell Integration: Native compatibility with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and MicroLogix controllers via EtherNet/IP protocol for real-time data exchange.

✔️ Cost-Effective Scalability: Daisy-chain multiple 1783-US4T1H units to expand network capacity without managed-switch licensing fees or ongoing maintenance.

✔️ Hazardous Location Ready: Class I Div 2 and ATEX Zone 2 certifications enable safe deployment in explosive atmospheres (petrochemical, grain handling, paint booths).
