Product Detailed Description
The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS12T4E2CGL is a model from the Stratix® 5700 series of managed industrial Ethernet switches, manufactured by Rockwell Automation. It is designed for robust, scalable network connectivity in demanding industrial environments, combining enterprise-class Cisco® Catalyst® switch architecture with industrial-grade performance. This compact, DIN-rail mountable switch supports EtherNet/IP networks and is optimized for automation and control systems. Key highlights include Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points, and support for Device Level Ring (DLR) topology for high-availability redundant networking. It features “Lite” firmware, which provides essential Layer 2 management functions suitable for smaller-scale industrial applications.

Product Advantages
The 1783-BMS12T4E2CGL offers several advantages that make it a reliable choice for industrial networking:
- Industrial Durability: Built to withstand harsh conditions with a rugged metal enclosure, wide temperature range, and vibration/shock resistance, ensuring uptime in factories, warehouses, and process plants.
- Seamless Integration: Leverages proven Cisco technology for familiar management tools (e.g., web interface, CLI, SNMP), while being fully compatible with Rockwell Automation’s Integrated Architecture for EtherNet/IP devices.
- Cost-Effective Scalability: PoE support eliminates the need for separate power supplies for end devices, reducing installation costs. DLR enables sub-3ms fault recovery for real-time applications without complex spanning tree protocols.
- High Availability: Redundant power inputs and ring topology support minimize downtime, ideal for mission-critical automation.
- Ease of Use: Zero-touch provisioning via Device Level Ring Supervisor and intuitive configuration wizards simplify deployment for IT and OT teams.
- Future-Proof Design: Gigabit combo ports allow for fiber uplinks, supporting network growth without hardware upgrades.
Precautions and Notes
When installing and using the 1783-BMS12T4E2CGL, adhere to the following precautions to ensure safety and optimal performance:
- Installation: Mount on a stable DIN rail in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to excessive dust, corrosive gases, or liquids. Use proper grounding to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Power Supply: Connect to a Class 2 DC power source only. Verify voltage stability to avoid damage; use redundant power supplies for critical applications. PoE ports should not exceed the 60W total budget—monitor load to prevent overheating.
- Environmental Limits: Operate within 0–60°C ambient temperature; derate PoE performance above 45°C. Ensure at least 50 mm clearance around the unit for airflow.
- Configuration: Firmware updates should be performed via Rockwell Automation tools. Enable security features like port security and ACLs to protect against unauthorized access. DLR requires compatible ring devices for redundancy.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect for loose connections and clean ports with compressed air. This product is not intended for life-support systems or applications where failure could cause injury—review Rockwell’s terms for liability.
- Compliance: Follow local electrical codes (e.g., NEC for hazardous locations). Dispose of as industrial electronic waste per regional regulations.
- General Warning: Unauthorized modifications void the warranty. For troubleshooting, refer to the Stratix Managed Switches User Manual (publication 1783-UM007).
Product Applications
The 1783-BMS12T4E2CGL is versatile for industrial automation scenarios requiring reliable, managed Ethernet connectivity:
- Manufacturing Lines: Connect PLCs, HMIs, sensors, and drives in assembly or packaging systems, using DLR for fault-tolerant control loops.
- Process Control: Deploy in oil & gas, water treatment, or chemical plants to power and network IP cameras, valves, and remote I/O modules via PoE.
- Material Handling: Integrate with conveyors, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and barcode scanners in warehouses for real-time data exchange.
- Building Automation: Link HVAC systems, access controls, and lighting in commercial facilities, leveraging VLANs for traffic segmentation.
- Distributed Networks: Serve as an edge switch in remote substations or mining operations, with fiber uplinks for long-distance connectivity.
