With Transparent Ready™ solutions, Schneider Electric leads the automation industry with open systems and universal industrial Ethernet connectivity. The ConneXium™ family of industrial-hardened network components and diagnostic components provide integrated Ethernet solutions to unite everything from the device level, to the control network, and even to the corporate intranet. Connexium switches support basic technology with an offer of economic switches, standard switches and enhanced switches supporting VLANS and other enhanced Ethernet network technology. This includes a complete offer of ConneXium wireless technology. ConneXium product offers form an integral part of the PlantStruxure architecture.

The ConneXium hardware offering

• Hubs connect devices to provide shared communication among PLCs and control devices for low-cost solutions.
• Managed switches increase network performance by relieving network congestion in real-time and deterministic network communication applications. These ConneXium managed switches implement Gigabit speed, increased security filtering methods and optimized port configurations.Connexium Ethernet Switches
• Special Dual Ring Switches support Modicon™ Quantum™ Ethernet Remote I/O. They support deterministic communications and 50 ms or less network recovery time for 31 drops.
• Full range of ConneXium WiFi products validated to work in Schneider solutions including 802.11a/b/g access points and clients, 802.11n access points, IP20 internal access points and clients, as well as IP67 external access points with ATEX compliance
• Transceivers secure transmission in areas of high electromagnetic interference through fiber optic networks.
• Gateways and bridges provide connection between devices on Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and device(s) on RS485 Modbus, or between devices on Ethernet Modbus TCP/IP and devices on Modbus Plus.Connexium Gateway and Bridges
• Cables provide simple, flexible, and reliable installation suitable for use in industrial environments.
• Quantum and Premium platforms are Ethernet-ready and can be used to coordinate I/O or data transfer between a PLC and up to 64 cyclically scanned I/O devices, as well as up to 32 simultaneous Modbus TCP/IP server connections.Ethernet-ready PLC Platforms
