Industrial control systems require networking equipment that goes beyond standard Ethernet capabilities. DECOWELL's profinet switch technology bridges this gap, delivering deterministic communication essential for precise machine control. Our profinet ethernet switch products form the critical link between controllers, drives, and IO devices in modern automated facilities.
PROFINET-Specific Industrial Switching Excellence
DECOWELL's FL series profinet switch represents a purpose-built solution for industrial automation networks, combining PROFINET-specific optimization with ruggedized design. This 5/8-way 100Mbps switch prioritizes protocol transmission to ensure real-time, stable communication - a critical requirement for time-sensitive manufacturing processes. The dedicated port configuration enables efficient data handling for critical systems without the overhead of unnecessary bandwidth, striking an optimal balance between performance and cost.The innovative fanless design not only ensures silent operation but also delivers significant energy efficiency advantages, reducing power consumption while contributing to long-term system stability. Rigorous EMC testing guarantees exceptional resistance to dust, vibration, and humidity - common challenges in facilities ranging from steel mills to food processing plants. This industrial-grade durability is complemented by versatile DIN rail and wall-mounted installation options, providing flexible deployment across smart manufacturing facilities, process automation systems, and rail transportation networks.
Precision Networking for Automated Systems
DECOWELL engineers developed our profinet switch specifically to handle the unique timing requirements of industrial automation. The hardware processes PROFINET frames with microsecond precision, maintaining consistent cycle times for motion control applications. This level of timing accuracy ensures synchronized operation across multiple axes in complex machinery. Our profinet ethernet switch maintains this precision even when handling mixed traffic, allowing seamless integration with enterprise networks without compromising control system performance.
Industrial Toughness Where It Matters Most
Manufacturing environments present unique challenges that DECOWELL's profinet switch is built to overcome. The hardened design withstands constant vibration from heavy machinery, preventing connection issues that could disrupt production. Electrical isolation protects against power surges common in industrial settings, while the metal housing shields against electromagnetic interference from welding equipment and large motors. These protective features make our profinet ethernet switch equally reliable in clean electronics assembly plants and gritty metal fabrication facilities.The IP40-rated enclosures provide superior dust protection, while the extended temperature range (-40°C to 75°C) ensures reliable operation in both freezer warehouses and foundry environments.
Smart Features for Simplified Maintenance
DECOWELL incorporates intelligent diagnostics in our profinet switch to streamline troubleshooting. Continuous monitoring of network health provides early warning of potential issues before they impact production. The switches log performance data that helps maintenance teams identify developing problems during scheduled downtime. These capabilities reduce unplanned outages while maintaining the plug-and-play simplicity that makes unmanaged switches valuable in industrial settings.The intuitive web interface provides at-a-glance network status information, while the automatic alert system notifies technicians of potential issues via email or SMS, enabling proactive maintenance before problems escalate.
Designed for Seamless Integration
The FL series supports flexible 12~48VDC or 24VAC power input, accommodating diverse industrial power systems without additional converters. Its compact, rugged design allows for both DIN rail and wall-mounted installations, making it ideal for space-constrained control panels. In rail transportation systems, these switches have demonstrated 99.999% availability over five years of continuous operation—proof of their unmatched reliability in mission-critical applications.
Energy Efficiency Without Compromise
With industry-leading low power consumption (<3W typical), the FL series reduces operational costs while maintaining full performance. The absence of cooling fans eliminates a common failure point, while the efficient design minimizes heat generation—critical for enclosed industrial control panels. A European automotive plant reported 28% reduction in network energy costs after replacing legacy switches with our PROFINET solution.This fanless architecture not only enhances system reliability by removing moving parts prone to wear but also contributes to extended equipment lifespan in continuous operation scenarios. The thermal management approach ensures stable performance even in high-density deployments where multiple switches operate within confined spaces.
