Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS10CGN Industrial Ethernet Switch

Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS10CGN Stratix 5700 is a 10-port managed Ethernet switch designed for industrial environments. It provides eight Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 Mbps) and two Gigabit combo ports for flexible copper or fiber connectivity, enabling scalable segmentation on the factory floor. Two Gigabit combo ports can be used as uplinks to a core switch or to connect higher‑speed devices, while the eight Fast Ethernet ports handle endpoints such as PLCs, sensors, and operator interfaces. Running Stratix 5700 firmware, it offers full software capabilities, including NAT (network address translation) and CIP Sync for time synchronization across connected devices. As part of Rockwell Automation's Stratix 5700 family, the 1783-BMS10CGN integrates with Rockwell control architectures and supports interoperability with PLCs, HMIs, and other Stratix 5700 switches in industrial networks. Typical applications include production lines or automation cells that require reliable interconnects between private subnets and external networks, where NAT can simplify access while CIP Sync helps coordinate timing across devices.
