Product Information

Full details

The Weidmüller IE-SW-BL05-5TX is an unmanaged industrial Ethernet switch designed for robust network connectivity in demanding environments. It offers five Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) RJ45 ports, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable data transmission, such as those involving Profinet and Profibus protocols. While it provides essential networking functions and a compact form factor, it lacks advanced management features like VLANs or QoS.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this switch managed or unmanaged?

This is an unmanaged switch, meaning it requires no configuration and operates on a plug-and-play basis.

What are the available port speeds?

The Weidmüller IE-SW-BL05-5TX features five Fast Ethernet ports, supporting speeds of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.

Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No, the IE-SW-BL05-5TX does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). Power must be supplied separately to connected devices.

What is the operating temperature range?

The switch is designed for industrial use and operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C.

What is the IP rating of this switch?

The switch has an IP30 rating, providing protection against solid objects larger than 2.5mm but no protection against water.

How many devices can be connected?

The switch has 5 RJ45 Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to 5 devices directly to the network. The MAC address table supports up to 1000 entries.

What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)?

The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for this switch is 3,040,780 hours.

Troubleshooting

No link lights on ports

Verify that the connected devices are powered on and properly configured for network communication. Ensure Ethernet cables are securely plugged in at both ends and are not damaged. Check the power supply to the switch itself.

Intermittent network connectivity

Check for loose cable connections or damaged cables. Ensure the switch is operating within its specified temperature range. Reduce the number of devices connected or simplify network traffic if possible, as this unmanaged switch has limited capacity for heavy loads.

Switch not powering on

Confirm that the power source is correctly connected and providing the appropriate voltage. Check the power adapter or wiring for any faults. Ensure the power input is securely seated in the switch.

Slow network performance

This switch operates at 10/100 Mbps. If connected devices or the upstream network support Gigabit speeds, this switch will act as a bottleneck. Ensure connected devices are configured for 100 Mbps if experiencing issues at auto-negotiation. Check for physical obstructions or excessive broadcast traffic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable data transmission for industrial applications
  • Simple plug-and-play setup (unmanaged)
  • Compact and space-saving design
  • Supports standard networking protocols for broad compatibility
  • Durable construction for industrial environments

Cons

  • Lacks advanced management features (VLANs, QoS)
  • Limited to 10/100 Mbps speeds, no Gigabit ports
  • IP30 protection is basic and not suitable for wet or dusty environments
  • No Power over Ethernet (PoE) support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an unmanaged switch, the IE-SW-BL05-5TX requires no complex configuration. Simply connect your network devices to the RJ45 ports using standard Ethernet cables. Power is supplied via a separate power input (check documentation for voltage requirements). LED indicators on the front panel provide status information for power and link/activity on each port.

Compatibility: This switch is compatible with any standard Ethernet-enabled device. It supports IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x networking standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of industrial equipment and protocols like Profinet and Profibus.

Care: Maintain the switch by keeping its vents clear of dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning the exterior; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature range (-10°C to 60°C) and humidity levels (5-95% non-condensing) to prolong its lifespan. Periodically check cable connections to ensure they are secure.
