Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS06SGA Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch | Stratix 5700

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS06SGA serves as a high-performance distribution hub within the Stratix 5700 industrial managed switch family. This unit features a 6-port configuration, including four 10/100 Mbps copper ports and two Gigabit SFP slots for fiber optic expansion. We supply this module as 100% Brand New original factory stock. It utilizes "Full" firmware to provide advanced switching capabilities, allowing engineers to segment network traffic and prioritize critical automation data across the plant floor.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Fiber Uplinks: The two Gigabit SFP slots facilitate long-distance data transmission without EMI interference. This hardware configuration allows the switch to act as a bridge between localized machine cells and a centralized backbone, supporting high-speed uplink requirements.

• Granular Traffic Management: The "Full" firmware enables advanced Layer 2 management features. It supports VLAN segmentation and Quality of Service (QoS), which ensures that time-sensitive EtherNet/IP traffic receives priority over standard office data, preventing localized network congestion.

• Robust Thermal Design: The switch operates efficiently with a maximum power dissipation of 15W. The slim 7.48 cm width allows for high-density installation in compact control cabinets, while the convection-cooled chassis maintains operational stability even in 40°C ambient environments.

• Integrated Fault Monitoring: A dedicated alarm relay provides physical feedback for power loss or port link failure. This allows maintenance teams to integrate hardware alerts directly into the PLC safety circuit or HMI dashboard, reducing MTTR (Mean Time To Repair).

• Industrial-Grade Grounding: The ground terminal supports wire sizes up to 4 mm² with a maximum screw torque of 0.96 nm. This robust grounding architecture shunts transient noise away from communication ports, protecting the data integrity of connected I/O and drives.

FAQs

• Does the 1783-BMS06SGA support Layer 3 routing? No. This model functions as a managed Layer 2 switch. It provides advanced switching and VLAN support but does not perform inter-VLAN routing at the hardware level.

• What type of SFP modules should I use with the Gigabit ports? The SFP slots accept standard 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps SFP transceivers. We recommend original Allen-Bradley 1783-SFP series modules to ensure full compatibility and industrial temperature ratings.

• How does "Full" firmware differ from "Lite" versions? Full firmware unlocks expanded software features including more advanced security protocols, diagnostic tools, and synchronization options (such as IEEE 1588 PTP) that are typically restricted in Lite versions of the Stratix 5700.

• Are these units used or factory refurbished? We guarantee every 1783-BMS06SGA we ship is 100% Brand New. Each unit arrives in its original factory packaging with intact serial numbers, ensuring you receive the full manufacturer-rated lifecycle and firmware reliability.
