High-Performance Networks – Wago Industrial Managed Switches for Energy Suppliers

WAGO adds two new switches that are tailored to substation automation to its growing product range. The 852-1505/000-001 Switches are designed for “Power over ETHERNET” (PoE), which provides power supply and data transfer together through just one ETHERNET cable. This streamlined wiring configuration offers significant potential savings for installation and operating costs while taking up significantly less space.

ICE1 Modules with S2 Redundancy: IO-Link Master for High-Reliability Systems

When a machine in a chemical or pharmaceutical plant fails or is in need of repair, the resulting downtimes can last several weeks: Batches must be disposed of and the plant itself must be completely cleaned until operations can resume. Especially in such critical applications, system redundancy is essential for preventing unplanned downtimes and the associated costs.
