Managed Switches
EtherNet/IP Managed Switches with Built-in Diagnostics
Managed switches for EtherNet/IP networks that keep cyclic CIP traffic prioritized and predictable. With IGMP Snooping, QoS, VLANs, and ring redundancy, they control multicast, contain faults, and hold I/O timing steady under real-world load. PROmesh models go further, building network, cable, and EMC diagnostics into the switch itself so the infrastructure becomes a monitoring point.
Use them to:
- Prioritize cyclic EtherNet/IP (CIP) traffic with QoS
- Control multicast flooding with IGMP Snooping and Querier
- Contain faults and stay online with VLAN segmentation and ring redundancy
Pair your switches with around-the-clock supervision: see EtherNet/IP monitoring and predictive maintenance.
What to Look For in an EtherNet/IP Managed Switch
IGMP Snooping and Querier
Controls multicast so CIP I/O updates reach the right devices instead of flooding the network.
QoS for EtherNet/IP
Prioritizes cyclic control data so bulk traffic never delays time-critical packets.
Port mirroring
Gives you a diagnostic tap for passive tools, without disturbing production traffic.
VLAN segmentation
Isolates cells so a fault or broadcast storm in one area stays contained.
Ring redundancy (RSTP/MRP)
Keeps the network running if a single link or switch goes down.
Built-in diagnostics
PROmesh models monitor network, cable, and EMC health per port for proactive maintenance.
Diagnostics Built Into the Network
A standard switch moves packets and tells you nothing. PROmesh managed switches watch the health of every port as they run, so slow-building problems like a degrading cable or rising EMC noise surface as data instead of a surprise stoppage. Feed that into PROmanage® NT V2 for a central dashboard, or add the EtherNet/IP-INspektor® NT through a mirror port for deeper traffic analysis.
