The IFM AL3050 is a six-port unmanaged Ethernet switch designed for industrial Ethernet and IIoT applications. It supports TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP networks. The unit uses M12 industrial connections and an IP67-rated housing. It is suitable for harsh industrial environments, including applications exposed to coolant and cleaning liquids. The switch is also designed with mobile-machine applications in mind.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
AL3050 provides six Ethernet interfaces for connecting automation equipment. It supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX transmission standards. Store-and-forward processing, auto-negotiation and auto MDI-X simplify network operation. The switch also supports QoS functions for traffic prioritization. This makes it suitable for industrial communication networks.
The AL3050 is designed for common automation protocols and IIoT applications. It can support Ethernet-based communication between controllers and field devices. Its unmanaged architecture reduces setup requirements. The switch can be integrated into machine networks without complicated configuration. This supports flexible industrial networking.
The switch provides IP65, IP66 and IP67 protection. Its housing uses PA orange material with nickel-plated brass sockets and FKM sealing. The dimensions are approximately 152 × 59.3 × 38.4 mm. This construction is designed for demanding industrial conditions.
The switch supports 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet communication. It uses a MAC table capable of storing up to 2000 addresses. Four priority queues are available for QoS. These features help support reliable network traffic handling. It is suitable for decentralized industrial networks.
AL3050 can be used in factory automation, coolant-exposed machinery and mobile equipment. It is suitable for TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP systems. It can connect PLCs, controllers, I/O devices and industrial sensors. Its IP67 design supports field installation. It provides a practical industrial Ethernet solution.
