The Applications

1. Rail and Metro Onboard Communication Systems

Modern rail vehicles depend on reliable data networks for CCTV, passenger displays, and control sensors. The FL SWITCH 1605 M12 ensures uninterrupted data flow despite constant vibration and temperature fluctuations. Its rugged IP67 housing protects against dust and moisture, while auto-negotiation and wide voltage tolerance maintain network stability under variable conditions. This makes it ideal for ensuring safety, communication, and monitoring in trains, trams, and subways operating in harsh, high-vibration environments.

2. Smart City Outdoor Monitoring Networks

Urban infrastructure such as traffic cameras, lighting systems, and environmental sensors require dependable Ethernet links exposed to weather extremes. The FL SWITCH 1605 M12 performs flawlessly in outdoor enclosures thanks to its IP65/IP66/IP67 protection and –40 °C to +70 °C temperature range. Its M12 locking connectors prevent accidental disconnection, while Quality of Service prioritization ensures important video or control data is transmitted first, maintaining real-time responsiveness in smart city networks.

3. Automated Warehouse and Mobile Robotics Systems

In warehouse automation, AGVs and robotic carriers rely on robust network connections for navigation and sensor communication. The FL SWITCH 1605 M12 withstands mechanical shocks and continuous movement. Its store-and-forward switching reduces data packet errors, and auto-crossing simplifies internal wiring for mobile machinery. By maintaining smooth communication between motion controllers and sensors, it supports efficient, interruption-free material handling operations.

4. Industrial Machine Tools and Production Cells

In machining centers or CNC environments filled with oil mist, vibration, and electromagnetic noise, reliable communication is critical. The FL SWITCH 1605 M12 offers shielded M12 ports and a stainless-steel base, providing secure connections resistant to interference and dust. Its PROFINET Class A compatibility allows easy integration with existing industrial control systems. This ensures real-time communication between PLCs, sensors, and machine interfaces, minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity in precision manufacturing lines.
