Schneider Electric TCSESM083F2CU0 Ethernet Switch

TCSESM083F2CU0 Managed Ethernet Switch

Product Introduction

The TCSESM083F2CU0 belongs to Schneider Electric’s renowned ConneXium range. This managed switch supports the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol. It offers a flexible interface combination for various industrial applications. Specifically, it includes six 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper ports. Additionally, it provides two 100BASE-FX multimode fiber optic ports. This configuration allows for extended network distances. Furthermore, it integrates seamlessly into existing factory automation systems.

Technical Specifications

The TCSESM083F2CU0 excels in network management and traffic control. It supports a wide array of Ethernet services. These include configuration via a user-friendly web server. Moreover, it features Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping. This ensures efficient multicast filtering. The switch also implements Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). Consequently, this prevents network loops and ensures stability.

For enhanced security, it offers secure port configuration. It also supports VLAN for network segmentation. The device provides Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) V3 for alerts. Furthermore, it acts as an SNTP client for time synchronization. Data stream control and FDR are also included. These features ensure optimized bandwidth usage. The Schneider Electric TCSESM083F2CU0 also supports unlimited switch cascading. However, it can form a redundant single ring with up to 50 switches.

The connectivity options are robust. The fiber ports use Duplex SC connectors. Meanwhile, the copper ports use shielded RJ45 connectors. For copper cabling, twisted shielded pair CAT 5E cable is required. For fiber, multimode optical fiber is necessary. Its attenuation is 11 dB for 62.2/125 µm fiber. For 50/125 µm fiber, the attenuation is 8 dB.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The TCSESM083F2CU0 is built for demanding industrial environments. Its ambient air temperature range is 0 to 60 °C. The relative humidity can be 10 to 95% without condensation. With an IP20 protection degree, it is suitable for control cabinets. It weighs only 0.41 kg, making it lightweight. Its compact dimensions are 74 mm wide, 131 mm high, and 111 mm deep. Therefore, it saves valuable space in your panel.

Power and Redundancy Features

Power supply flexibility is a key feature. The rated supply voltage is 24 V. However, it accepts AC voltages from 18 to 30 V SELV. For DC, the limits are 9.6 to 60 V SELV. Its power consumption is a low 7.7 W. Redundancy is critical for industrial networks. Therefore, the TCSESM083F2CU0 supports redundant power supplies. It also supports redundant single ring topology and ring coupling. An alarm output is provided via a volt-free contact. This contact alerts for power supply faults, switch faults, and data link status. Additionally, it monitors redundancy ring faults.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting the managed switch is straightforward. It is designed for a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail. This is a standard mounting support in industrial panels. The electrical connection uses a removable 6-way connector. This simplifies wiring and maintenance. Local signalling is clear and comprehensive. There is one LED for fault indication. Additionally, two LEDs (P1, P2) show the power supply status. One LED signals the ring manager status. Another indicates stand-by mode. Each copper port has activity and status LEDs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the maximum number of switches in a ring?
The TCSESM083F2CU0 can support up to 50 switches in a single redundant ring configuration. This offers great scalability for your network.

2. Can I use this switch with single-mode fiber?
No, this specific model is designed for multimode fiber only. It uses a 100BASE-FX interface. Please verify your fiber type before purchase.

3. How do I configure the TCSESM083F2CU0?
Configuration is performed via its built-in web server. You can access it using a standard web browser. Furthermore, it supports advanced protocols like SNMP for integration with network management systems.

4. What happens if the primary power supply fails?
This switch has a redundant power supply input. If the primary power source fails, it will automatically switch to the secondary source. The alarm relay will also trigger a fault signal.

5. Is the TCSESM083F2CU0 suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, it is rated for operation from 0 to 60 °C. Additionally, it holds multiple certifications including UL 1604 Class 1 Division 2 and GL. This makes it suitable for industrial and marine applications.
