1. Factory Floor Network Segmentation
In a large manufacturing plant, different production lines need to be on separate network segments to improve performance and security. The FL SWITCH 2216, with its 16 ports and VLAN support, can be used to create these logical network separations.
Problem SolvedThis switch prevents broadcast storms from one production line from affecting another and enhances security by isolating traffic. The IP20 rating and DIN rail mounting make it perfect for installation inside existing control cabinets on the factory floor.

2. Outdoor Cabinet for Traffic Control Systems
An intelligent traffic management system requires reliable network switches in roadside cabinets, which are exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations. The switch connects traffic light controllers, sensors, and cameras.
Problem SolvedThe switch's wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C ensures uninterrupted operation in both freezing winters and hot summers. Its support for protocols like EtherNet/IP allows for seamless communication with various industrial controllers used in traffic systems.

3. High-Availability Automation Cell with PROFINET
In a critical robotic automation cell, network downtime can cause significant production losses. A ring network topology is required to ensure continuous operation even if one network cable fails.
Problem SolvedThe FL SWITCH 2216's support for MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) allows it to be used in a PROFINET ring topology. In case of a link failure, the network reconfigures itself rapidly, ensuring high availability for the PLCs, robots, and I/O devices within the cell. Its Conformance Class B rating guarantees it meets the performance standards required for PROFINET.
