TCSESU083FN0 Unmanaged Ethernet Switch
Product Introduction
The TCSESU083FN0 belongs to the ConneXium product range from Schneider Electric. It is an Ethernet TCP/IP unmanaged switch engineered for straightforward network expansion. This model provides eight 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX copper ports. It operates without any complex software configuration. Therefore, it suits small to medium automation cells perfectly. Additionally, this switch supports the Transparent Ready concept seamlessly. Consequently, it ensures reliable communication between PLCs, drives, and I/O devices. The device offers a cost-effective way to grow your industrial network infrastructure.
Key Technical Features
The TCSESU083FN0 delivers comprehensive networking functions reliably. First, it supports automatic negotiation of speed and duplex mode on every port. This feature simplifies integration with various endpoint devices from different manufacturers. Next, it includes Auto MDI/MDX on all eight ports. Therefore, you no longer need crossover cables for any connections. The switch also performs automatic polarity change automatically. Thus, it minimizes installation errors and reduces troubleshooting time significantly.
Furthermore, it handles storage and re-routing of received data efficiently. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted data transmission across all ports. All connections use shielded RJ45 connectors for superior noise immunity. The Schneider switch operates with CAT 5E twisted shielded pair cables. Its Ethernet services cover all basic switching requirements comprehensively. Meanwhile, the device supports unlimited cascading for extensive network expansion. For this reason, it adapts easily to growing system requirements without limitations.
Power and Electrical Specifications
The power supply design offers both robustness and flexibility for various applications. Its rated supply voltage is 24 V DC. However, it accepts a wide range from 9.6 to 32 V DC (SELV). This flexibility allows seamless integration with diverse industrial power sources commonly found in factories. Power consumption is a moderate 4.1 W. Consequently, it operates with good energy efficiency and manageable heat generation. The electrical connection uses a removable 3-way connector. For this reason, wiring and maintenance become quick and straightforward tasks for your technicians.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The TCSESU083FN0 is engineered for dependable operation in demanding conditions. Its ambient temperature range is 0 to 60 °C. Relative humidity can reach 0 to 95% without condensation. This ensures consistent performance across diverse factory environments worldwide. The device carries an IP30 protection degree. Thus, it is protected against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm. Its compact dimensions save critical panel space effectively. Specifically, it measures 35 mm wide, 138 mm high, and 121 mm deep. Product weight is just 0.246 kg. For this reason, the lightweight design simplifies DIN rail mounting considerably.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting the unmanaged switch is quick and entirely effortless. It is designed for standard 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail installation. The compact 35 mm width offers a significant advantage in crowded cabinets. Indeed, it allows high-density mounting alongside other automation components. Local signalling aids diagnostics and troubleshooting efforts considerably. One LED indicates the power supply status clearly for quick verification. Additionally, each copper port has its own activity LED for real-time monitoring. There is also a dedicated LED for data rate indication (10 or 100 Mbit/s). Therefore, operators receive immediate visual feedback on network status without any additional tools.
