Industrial PCI Ethernet Switch

ICS-4040 is a lite-managed redundant ring Ethernet switch card with PCI-Bus and 4x10100Base-T(X) ports. ICS-4040 could be installed on any IPC motherboard with PCI socket to make the IPCembedded system able to communicate the other devices redundantly. Meanwhile, the network could feature Ethernet network redundancy by the fastest redundant ring protocol, O-Ring (recovery time < 10 ms over 250 units of connections ) and the standard redundant protocols, RSTPSTP (IEEE 802.1wD). Accordingly, the mission-critical communications could be protected from network any interruptions or malfunctions. Further, ICS-4040 features an external redundant DC power input. Hence, even if the IPC motherboard fails, the data transmission could bypass the failed IPC motherboard and the network will still work properly. Therefore, ICS-4040 is the best solution to IPCembedded systems to feature Ethernet network redundancy.
