Industrial Switches

Guarantee maximum availability and efficiency for your network with Connect Series switches

Designed for flexibility and easy installation, the Connect Series of Ethernet switches and media converters is the perfect solution to boost productivity in various industrial sectors. With a compact, durable design and an IP30 protection rating, these devices are built to withstand harsh conditions across a range of industries.

Security and speed for maximum efficiency, stability, and reliability in your automation systems.

Connect Series devices incorporate intelligent tools that provide full project control and management. With the Network Management System (NMS), you can centralize performance monitoring and asset accounting of connected equipment, reducing network traffic and enhancing operational efficiency.

To ensure security and high availability, the devices feature advanced functions such as anti-looping and anti-ping, which block unwanted simultaneous connections and prevent process-manager overflows—avoiding device crashes or failures. Additionally, by using a multimode configuration, you can pair the series’ media converter with Nexto CPUs to create a ring architecture that grants access to digital and analog I/O modules at distances of up to 2 km without compromising performance or signal quality.

Integrated with Altus’s other established product lines, the Connect Series equipment forms a robust, flexible, high-performance architecture capable of meeting the technical and operational demands of both domestic and international markets.

Compact

With a robust design, they deliver greater operational efficiency and excellent performance in industrial applications across a variety of segments.

Versatile

A comprehensive portfolio offering multiple options, providing ideal solutions for automation and process control systems across various segments.

Intuitive

Simplified installation and hassle-free operation. Just unbox it, power it on, and connect to have your application up and running quickly, saving time and ensuring efficiency from the very first use.

Secure

Features that deliver high performance and reliability for your challenges, along with the flexibility and capability to meet your application’s specific requirements.

Capable of Operating in the Most Critical Atmospheres

The compact and robust design of the series’ equipment allows it to be used in harsh environments, such as industrial plant control rooms and electrical substations, without compromising network traffic. With an IP30 security rating, the products are protected against solid particles up to 2.5 mm, as well as impacts, vibrations, corrosion, and rust. Their aluminum casing not only provides greater strength and durability but also enhances the devices' cooling capacity, enabling them to operate in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.

Ideal for Distributed Systems

The Connect Series offers rugged industrial switches ideal for reliable, secure automation networks. The unmanaged models are available with up to 16 Ethernet ports, support redundant power input, and offer multimode SC fiber options. All feature an IP30-rated metal housing, DIN-rail mounting, and operation across industrial temperature ranges. The managed models add advanced capabilities such as VLAN, QoS, SNMP, static routing, and redundancy protocols like ERPS and RSTP. They can be configured via Web, CLI, Telnet, SSH, and HTTPS, with support for RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication. Some variants include fiber ports and IEEE 802.1X protection. This series combines security, performance, and flexibility in a single portfolio, a reliable solution for modern industrial networks.

Advanced Network Management Features

Through the Network Management System (NMS), performance and accounting management of network-connected devices can be centralized, reducing network traffic. Designed specifically for industrial environments with critical applications, NMS provides a comprehensive platform for monitoring, configuring, and maintaining IP-based communication networks, such as those found in industrial automation architectures, mining, substations, and maritime and military applications.

Available for free download from the Altus website, the software supports the monitoring of up to 16 devices. NMS features include: - Management of IP-based devices from a central office and remote locations - Automatic network discovery and topology visualization - Device configuration via SNMP, web, Telnet, and SSH - SNMP v1/v2c/v3 browser and SNMP MIBS compiler - MSR group management (network redundancy protocol) - Performance manager to reduce network traffic

Ensuring Network Stability and Availability

Unlike conventional network rings that have only one manager, the Connect Series can operate in redundancy mode using the Multiple Super Ring (MSR) architecture. This feature, available in the ET5-0802-M model, prevents issues in critical points and ensures network stability and control.

Another feature that enhances the high availability concept of Altus’ managed switches is the speed of their process restoration routine. The series' equipment has a failure recovery time of up to 5 ms and link recovery of 0 ms, ensuring fast and stable operation.
