Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS20CL Ethernet Switch

Product Dimensions：

The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS20CL is a high-performance, industrial-grade managed switch belonging to the Stratix 5700 family. Developed through a partnership between Rockwell Automation and Cisco, it combines the ruggedness required for factory floors with the powerful networking intelligence of Cisco IOS.

1. Product Description

The 1783-BMS20CL is a compact managed Ethernet switch designed for industrial environments. It provides a secure and scalable networking solution, enabling seamless integration between the plant floor and the enterprise network (Integrated Architecture).

This specific model features a total of 20 ports, including a mix of copper and fiber optic capabilities, making it ideal for large-scale applications requiring high port density in a small form factor.

3. Key Product Advantages

• Cisco Integration: Uses Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System), allowing IT professionals to manage the switch using familiar tools while OT professionals use Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

• High Port Density: 20 ports in a compact DIN-rail design save valuable cabinet space.

• Redundancy: Supports Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and Device Level Ring (DLR) to ensure high network availability and fast recovery from link failures.

• Ease of Configuration: Includes “Smartports,” which provide preset configurations for automation devices (PLCs, HMI, Drives), reducing setup errors.

• Security: Features such as Port Security, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and encrypted management traffic.

4. Installation & Usage Precautions (Notes)

• Environment: Ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed the 60°C limit, especially in tightly packed control panels.

• SFP Modules: If using the fiber combo ports, ensure you use compatible Allen-Bradley or Cisco-certified SFP transceivers to avoid connectivity issues.

• Power Supply: Always use a Class 2 power supply. Ensure the polarity is correct when wiring the redundant DC inputs.

• Grounding: The switch must be properly grounded to the DIN rail or via a grounding wire to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

• Firmware: Regularly check for firmware updates from the Rockwell Automation Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC) to ensure security patches are applied.

5. Product Applications

The 1783-BMS20CL is typically used in complex industrial automation systems, including:

• Automotive Assembly: Connecting multiple robots, PLCs, and HMI panels across a large production line.

• Food and Beverage: Managing data flow for high-speed packaging and processing equipment.

• Water/Wastewater: Using the fiber ports for long-distance communication between remote pump stations and the central control room.

• Oil & Gas: Reliable networking in harsh environments where temperature fluctuations and vibration are common.
