Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS20CGP Managed Ethernet Switch

Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS20CGP Stratix 5700 20-Port Managed Ethernet Switch is a 20-port managed switch designed for industrial Ethernet networks. It provides 16 Fast Ethernet copper ports, 2 SFP fiber slots, and 2 Gigabit Ethernet combo ports (RJ45 or SFP) for flexible copper/fiber connectivity, bringing total port count to 20. The switch supports full Stratix 5700 software features, including CIP Sync for motion synchronization, IEEE 1588 v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and Device Level Ring (DLR) for fast network recovery and redundant paths. It also offers network management capabilities such as VLANs, QoS, port security, and cable diagnostics to monitor link health. Power is supplied from a DC source in the 24 to 48 V range, with dual power options for reliability. Typical uses include automation networks requiring deterministic timing and reliable inter-device communication, such as machine control backbones, distributed I/O networks, and industrial Ethernet topologies that combine high-availability links with flexible uplink options.
