Switch managed PLANET IGS-20040MT

PLANET IGS-20040MT is a fully managed L2+ Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for industrial networks. It provides 16 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports, 4 dual-speed 100/1000BASE-X SFP slots, Layer 3 static routing, and a redundant power system in an IP30 rugged metal case. The switch operates from -40 to 75 °C, supports DIN-rail or wall mounting, and offers IPv4/IPv6 management interfaces for flexible deployment and integration with existing infrastructure.

Advantages

The IGS-20040MT combines hardened industrial design with advanced network features: high-density Gigabit copper ports, flexible SFP fiber extension, redundant power inputs, and enhanced cybersecurity (SSHv2, TLS/SSL). It supports rapid ring recovery (G.8032 ERPS), Layer 2–4 QoS and ACLs, Modbus TCP for factory automation, IEEE 1588 timing, and built-in alarm and event notification functions for efficient monitoring and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation networks and factory floor connectivity
• Surveillance systems requiring fast ring recovery and redundancy
• Telecom and carrier Ethernet applications with timing requirements (IEEE 1588)
• Enterprise edge and distribution with fiber extension needs

• Environmental: IP30 metal case, operating temperature -40 to 75 °C
• Power: Wide-range DC (9–48 V) or 24 V AC with redundant inputs
• Weight & form factor: compact industrial case, wall or DIN-rail mountable, weight ~1.043 kg

How to use

Install the IGS-20040MT on a DIN-rail or mount it to a wall and connect power using the redundant input terminals. Plug copper devices into the RJ-45 ports and insert appropriate SFP transceivers for fiber links according to required distance and speed. Configure management via the built-in web GUI, console/Telnet, or SNMPv3. Set up VLANs, static routes, QoS, and security policies as needed; enable Modbus TCP for integration with SCADA/HMI systems and configure SMTP/SNMP traps for event alerts.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in industrial environments, use appropriate SFPs that match the fiber type and distance, enable redundant power inputs, and configure ring protection (G.8032 ERPS) or MSTP to achieve fast failover. Use SNMPv3 and SSH/TLS for secure remote management and enable DHCP snooping, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection to protect against IP-based attacks.
