Schneider Electric TCSESB083F2CU0 ConneXium Managed Switch

Product Introduction

The Schneider Electric TCSESB083F2CU0 is a high-performance managed switch from the trusted ConneXium range. This device combines six 10/100BASE-TX copper ports and two 100BASE-FX multimode fiber optic ports, providing flexible connectivity for industrial networks. Moreover, it offers advanced features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and IGMP Snooping to ensure network reliability and efficiency. Consequently, the TCSESB083F2CU0 is an excellent choice for demanding automation environments requiring stable and manageable Ethernet infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

This section details the core technical attributes of the TCSESB083F2CU0 managed switch.

• Port Configuration: The switch features 6 copper ports (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) and 2 fiber optic ports (100BASE-FX) with Duplex SC connectors. This hybrid design enables long-distance communication via fiber while maintaining local copper connectivity.

• Transmission Medium: For copper connections, use CAT 5E shielded twisted pair cables. For fiber connections, the switch supports multimode optical fiber with attenuation ratings of 11 dB for 62.5/125 µm fiber and 8 dB for 50/125 µm fiber.

• Network Management: The TCSESB083F2CU0 includes comprehensive Ethernet services: configuration via web server, data stream control, FDR (Fast Device Replacement), IGMP Snooping, multicast filtering, priority port, RSTP, secure port, SMTP V3, and SNTP client.

• Redundancy: It supports redundant power supplies and redundant single ring topologies. Furthermore, up to 50 switches can be connected in a single ring, providing robust network resilience.

Advanced Network Features

The Schneider Electric TCSESB083F2CU0 is equipped with features that enhance network performance and security.

• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): This protocol prevents network loops and ensures rapid recovery from link failures, minimizing downtime in critical applications.

• IGMP Snooping: This feature optimizes multicast traffic by forwarding it only to ports that have requested it, reducing unnecessary network congestion.

• Priority Port and Multicast Filtering: These functions allow for traffic prioritization, ensuring that critical control data is transmitted with minimal latency.

• Redundant Ring Support: The ability to form a ring topology with up to 50 switches provides a self-healing network that maintains connectivity even if a single link fails.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Understanding the physical and environmental limits of the TCSESB083F2CU0 is crucial for proper deployment.

• Power Supply: The switch operates on a 9.6 to 32 V DC SELV power supply and consumes approximately 8 W. A removable 6-way connector facilitates easy wiring.

• Mounting: It is designed for 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail mounting, which simplifies installation in standard industrial control cabinets.

• Dimensions and Weight: The unit measures 74 mm (width) x 131 mm (height) x 111 mm (depth) and weighs only 0.41 kg.

• Operating Temperature: The device supports an ambient air temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and a relative humidity range of 0% to 95% without condensation.

• Protection and Standards: It carries an IP20 protection rating and complies with EN/IEC 61131-2, UL 1604 Class 1 Division 2, UL 508, CSA C22.2 No 213 Class I Division 2, and CSA C22.2 No 214.

Installation Guidelines

Proper installation of the TCSESB083F2CU0 ensures optimal network performance. First, mount the switch securely on a 35 mm DIN rail. Next, connect the power supply to the 6-way removable connector, ensuring the voltage is within the specified range. For copper ports, use CAT 5E STP cables with shielded RJ45 connectors. For fiber ports, clean the Duplex SC connectors carefully before mating. Additionally, configure the IP address and other network parameters via the built-in web server. Finally, set up redundancy features like RSTP and ring coupling according to your network architecture requirements.
