PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION & SCOPE

Ruggedized Telecom Infrastructure Application Note: Railway Rolling Stock EN50155 Certified Switches details

SYSTEM HARDWARE TOPOLOGY

The Switch Series adopts a fanless, conduction-cooled chassis leveraging a monocrystalline aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy heatsink. The system topology bifurcates into a fixed-port I/O panel and a rear-module expansion bay for M12 or M23 circular connector adapters. The internal backplane supports a 16 Gbps non-blocking shared memory switch fabric. Key hardware nodes include:
– Power Input Module (PIM): Dual isolated 24/36/48/72/110 VDC nominal inputs (16.8 VDC to 137.5 VDC range).
– CPU Module: ARM Cortex-A9 800 MHz with 256 MB DDR3 SDRAM and 64 MB NOR flash.
– PHY Layer: Automotive-grade BroadReach PHY with 2 kV magnetic isolation per port.

DATA & CONTROL PLANE CAPABILITIES

Forwarding paradigm: Store-and-forward with cut-through configurable on per-port basis. Control plane integrates an industrial protocol gateway (TRDP, MVB over Ethernet, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP). The platform supports VLAN (4k active), IGMP snooping v2/v3, Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP/MSTP), and an onboard Dying Gasp interrupt for power-loss event capture.

COMPONENT BREAKDOWN – INTEGRATED SUBSYSTEMS

– Ethernet Ports: 8x 10/100/1000BASE-TX via M12 X-coded (IP67) OR 4x 100BASE-FX and 4x 10/100/1000BASE-T (M12 A-coded).
– SFP Slots: 2x Gigabit SFP (100/1000BASE-X) supporting -40°C to +85°C industrial SFPs.
– Console: 1x RS-232 via M12 A-coded, CLI accessible.
– Alarm Relay: 2x Dry contact Form-C relay (1A@30VDC) for system health monitoring.
– Storage: microSD slot up to 32 GB for event logging and firmware upgrade.
