Schneider TCSESM163F2CU0 Ethernet Switch

Description

Schneider TCSESM163F2CU0 Ethernet Switch

The Schneider Electric TCSESM163F2CU0 is a high-density industrial managed switch from the ConneXium range. It is designed to provide reliable, high-performance Ethernet connectivity in complex automation architectures, supporting both copper and fiber optic media.

Product Detailed Description

The TCSESM163F2CU0 is an Ethernet TCP/IP managed switch featuring a total of 16 ports. It is part of Schneider’s “Transparent Ready” concept, allowing for seamless integration into Modicon PLC architectures and broader industrial networks. It provides advanced Layer 2 management features like redundancy, traffic filtering, and comprehensive diagnostics.

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• Hybrid Connectivity: The combination of 14 copper ports and 2 multimode fiber ports allows for local device connection and long-distance backbone linking in a single module.
• High Redundancy: Supports HiPER Ring and RSTP, ensuring that the network recovers in milliseconds if a cable is damaged, which is vital for continuous industrial processes.
• Cybersecurity: Includes “Port Hardening” and secure management protocols (HTTPS/SSH) to protect the industrial network from unauthorized access.
• Advanced Traffic Control: Features like IGMP Snooping and VLAN support help manage multicast traffic (common in EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP) to prevent network congestion.
• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Integrated relay for alarm output and extensive LED signaling for power status, link activity, and ring management.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• Phasing Out: Note that this model is being phased out and is typically replaced by the newer MCSESM203F4LG0 model. Ensure long-term spare part availability for your project.
• Fiber Attenuation: Ensure the fiber optic link does not exceed 11 dB attenuation for 62.5/125 µm fiber to maintain signal integrity.
• Power Supply: Use a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) power source. The switch features a 6-way removable connector for redundant power inputs (P1 and P2); it is highly recommended to use both for maximum uptime.
• Environment: The operating temperature is rated for 0°C to +60°C. For outdoor or extreme cold/heat environments, ensure the cabinet is thermally managed.

Product Applications

• Plant-Wide Backbone: Used as a central switch in a control room to link multiple remote I/O islands via fiber optics.
• Machine Control: Connecting high-density PLC architectures, HMIs, and variable speed drives within a single large production line.
• Infrastructure: Suitable for water treatment, power distribution (IEC 61850-3 compliant), and transportation systems where long-distance fiber links are required between nodes.
• Redundant Rings: Implementing “HiPER Ring” topologies in mission-critical manufacturing where downtime is not an option.
