Now available on CompactLogix®: CIPconnect™ allows users to easily configure and diagnose PROFIBUS network from EtherNet/IP

The PROFIBUS DP Master V1 communication module for the CompactLogix platform (MVI69-PDPMV1) is now equipped with CIPconnect™, a feature that enables remote configuration and diagnostics of the MVI69-PDPMV1 module via EtherNet/IP.

CIPconnect technology utilizes the backplane bridging capabilities of the CompactLogix system to enable EtherNet/IP connectivity between a PC and the MVI69-PDPMV1 module via a 1769-L35E or L32E module. CIPconnect also enables Asset Management software that supports FDT/DTM to connect to PROFIBUS DP/PA devices over EtherNet/IP.

INS News: Axiomtek Launched 24-port IP30-rated Managed Ethernet Switches, iCON-27000 Series, with 4 Gigabit SFP

Axiomtek today introduced iCON-27000 19” rack-mountable managed Ethernet switch equipped with up to twenty-four 10/100Base-TX or 100Base-FX/BX ports plus four 10/100/1000Base-TX ports or four Gigabit SFP combo (1000BASE-SX/LX/BX) ports.


The IP30-rated iCON-27000 is designed to make the construction of a reliable Ethernet network easy. It complies with UL standards and meets IEC61000-6-2 EMC Generic standard immunity for industrial environment. To provide non-stop Ethernet connection, the iCON-27000 supports intelligent α-Ring redundancy technology which provides fast network recovery within 15ms. This rugged and reliable unit is a special design for power station, building, control room and telecom applications where request high-ports density and performance.

Fully manageable via SNMP, Web Browser, Telnet or Console port, the iCON-27000 is designed to integrate 10/100Mbps networks into fiber optic Gigabit backbones. The four Gigabit SFP ports can be fiber optic or copper ports. This managed Ethernet switch supports Snooping, Spanning Tree for Redundancy, QoS for priority queuing, and port mirroring. Users may choose among SNMP/RMON, Web browser, or Telnet for remote monitoring and configuration. It also supports rate control, which allows users to set the maximum bandwidth on each port individually. Otherwise, the iCON-27000 switch offers IEEE802.1X port-based network access control for network security. In addition to RSTP/STP for Ethernet redundancy, the smart managed Ethernet switch features redundant ring technology with a recovery time under 15ms.

“Axiomtek’s new iCON-27000 24-port managed Ethernet switch provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for device manufacturers to speedily transform existing devices. Up to four 10/100/1000Base-TX ports or Gigabit SFP combo ports can be chosen to make the construction of a reliable Ethernet network easy. Additionally, the industrial network device meets Safety Agency requirements and has passed heavy industrial EMI/EMS testing. With Axiomtek’s iCON-27000 Ethernet switch, users can save on cabling and wiring costs and speedily transform existing devices into more powerful and intelligent,” said Philip Wei, Product Manager of Product & Marketing Division at Axiomtek.

For ease of maintenance, the iCON-27000 features front-facing LED indicators that provide link activity and transmission speed. Moreover, the rugged and intelligent device comes equipped with a 100~240 VAC, 50~60Hz internal universal PSU redundant power input via a terminal block or power jack, and is secured with power polarity reverse and an overload current resettable fuse.

The rugged multiport Ethernet switch is available now. And ordering information is as below -
1. iCON-27604-04B: 24-port 10/100Base-TX + 4-port Gigabit managed Ethernet switch
2. iCON-27424-14B: 16-port 10/100Base-TX + 8-port 100Base-FX + 4-port Gigabit managed Ethernet switch
