The Turck TBEN-Lx-SE-M2 rugged IP67 managed Ethernet switch offers both Gigabit and standard ports in the same device. IP67 switches are used directly on a machine so users can configure, manage and monitor connected machines and devices remotely, outside of a control cabinet. Turck now offers a more rugged version with two high-speed gigabit backbone ports in addition to eight standard ports (100 Mbps).

The TBEN-Lx-SE-M2 is suitable for robust industrial environments such as for tool changes in machine tools, robot applications in automotive manufacturing and for use on mobile equipment. It features IP67/IP69K ratings and a wide operating temperature range for decentralised installation outside of the control cabinet.

Managed switches in general are a key component to any industry that uses Ethernet field protocols. Specifically the IP67 Ethernet switch is suitable for decentralised automation concepts commonly found in manufacturing industries. Other TBEN-Lx-SE-M2 applications include tool changing (allowing higher throughput in robot applications with fast start-up under 150 ms), mobile agricultural machinery (due to a wide voltage range of 8–30 VDC, protection against voltage peaks and UV resistance) and video streams (parallel transmission of multiple video streams with smooth and low-latency playback due to the Gigabit backbone).

The switch also offers cut-through forwarding, port-based IP address allocation, network load monitoring, NAT routing, line diagnostics, RSTP media redundancy and a firewall.
