Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS06SA Stratix 5700 Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS06SA functions as a high-performance Stratix 5700 managed industrial Ethernet switch, designed specifically for localized machine-level networking. This compact switch integrates seamlessly into the Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture, providing advanced management features through its "Full" firmware set. It bridges the gap between field-level devices and higher-level enterprise networks while maintaining rugged durability for shop-floor deployment. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your network infrastructure benefits from the latest security patches and factory-fresh performance.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Fiber Optic Flexibility: The two SFP slots allow for long-distance uplink connections using fiber optics. This architecture eliminates electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues over long cable runs and extends network reaches far beyond the 100-meter limit of standard copper.

• Granular Traffic Control: The "Full" firmware package empowers engineers to implement advanced VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and port-level security. These tools prioritize critical control traffic, such as EtherNet/IP I/O data, over standard network chatter.

• Rugged Power Resilience: The switch accepts a wide input voltage range (12–48V DC) and features basic insulation types that isolate DC power ports from Ethernet and alarm ports. This protection prevents localized electrical faults from cascading through the data network.

• Precision Mechanical Design: Integrated ground terminals supporting 0.96 Nm of torque ensure a low-impedance path for noise dissipation. The slim 7.48 cm width maximizes space on congested DIN rails, facilitating installation in high-density control cabinets.

FAQs

• Q: Does the 1783-BMS06SA include the SFP transceivers?

  A: No. This part number includes the base managed switch with two open SFP slots. You must select and purchase the appropriate SFP modules (Multimode or Singlemode) based on your fiber distance and type requirements.

• Q: Can I manage this switch through Studio 5000 software?

  A: Yes. Since this is a Stratix managed switch, it utilizes Add-On Profiles (AOPs) within Studio 5000. This allows you to configure, manage, and monitor the switch directly from your Logix controller environment, simplifying network diagnostics for maintenance teams.

• Q: What is the purpose of the integrated alarm relay?

  A: The relay provides a hardware-based notification system. You can configure the switch to trigger the alarm relay (supporting up to 1 A at 30V DC) during specific events, such as a lost power supply link or a port disconnection, allowing for immediate physical signaling of network faults.

• Q: What are the specific wiring requirements for the power connection?

  A: Use 0.5 mm² copper wire rated for 75 °C or higher for the DC power connection. Ensure you strip the wire to exactly 6.3±0.5 mm and tighten the power terminal screws to 0.23 Nm to maintain a secure, arc-free electrical connection.
