1783-BMS10CGL Stratix 5700 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch | Allen Bradley

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1783-BMS10CGL functions as a high-performance, 10-port Layer 2 managed industrial Ethernet switch within the Stratix 5700 product line. This unit integrates Cisco routing technology alongside native Rockwell Automation Add-On Profiles (AOPs) to bridge the gap between plant floor machinery and enterprise-level IT networks. It coordinates high-speed deterministic traffic, manages Device Level Ring (DLR) network topologies, and provides secure data routing for distributed I/O, variable frequency drives, and HMI panels. We guarantee this network switch arrives in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed packaging.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Speed Fiber Optic Uplink Capabilities: The two integrated gigabit combo ports accept Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. This feature solves a critical plant challenge: it allows engineers to establish long-distance fiber optic backbones up to several kilometers away, isolating the communication signals from severe high-voltage electromagnetic interference (EMI) found in heavy industrial corridors.

• Resilient Device Level Ring (DLR) Recovery: The embedded DLR firmware allows the switch to act as a ring supervisor or a standard node within a single-fault tolerant ring network. If a field network cable breaks, the DLR algorithm reroutes data packets within milliseconds, preventing machine downtime and maintaining active controller communication.

• Native Studio 5000 Software Integration: The Lite software profile exposes switch diagnostics and port conditions directly to ControlLogix and CompactLogix processors via explicit messaging. Controls programmers configure and monitor port statuses, VLAN setups, and security rules inside the standard Studio 5000 layout without launching separate command-line interfaces.

• Redundant DC Power Input Inputs: The terminal block accepts dual independent 12–48V DC power inputs. If the primary power supply fails, the internal hardware switches over to the auxiliary power bus automatically, while triggering the physical onboard alarm relay (1 A @ 30V DC) to alert control room staff instantly.

FAQs

• Does this 1783-BMS10CGL switch ship with the SFP modules included?

  No. The switch provides 2 physical combo ports that accommodate SFP modules, but the actual fiber optic transceivers must match your specific plant fiber type (Single-Mode vs. Multi-Mode). You must purchase these components separately.

• What is the key functional difference between the Lite and Full software versions?

  The Lite version onboard this 1783-BMS10CGL includes all necessary industrial management features, including DLR, IGMP snooping, Quality of Service (QoS), and VLAN segmentation. It omits advanced corporate IT functions such as Layer 3 routing protocols and Network Address Translation (NAT).

• Can I mount this switch directly onto a control cabinet backplate?

  The switch housing features an integrated, heavy-duty latching mechanism engineered for standard 35mm DIN rail mounting. For optimal thermal dissipation, leave at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) of clear space above and below the cooling vents during panel installation.

• Is this a genuine, brand new Allen Bradley factory component?

  Absolutely. We guarantee this item is 100% brand new, authentic factory stock. It arrives inside its original manufacturer box with factory seals, unblemished bar codes, default serial numbers, and original grounding hardware.
