Westermo Data Communications Inc

This compact, rugged unit is suited to tight spaces. It meets the requirements of IEC 61850-3 Class 1 Medium Voltage substation and also railway trackside EN 50121-4. The power supply and Ethernet ports benefit from a high level of galvanic isolation, up to 4 kVrms. Its high MTBF and wide temperature range support maximum service life.

To achieve best-in-class cybersecurity, the Merlin series is equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip that keeps cryptographic keys secure. Secure Boot ensures that the unit boots using only software that is signed and trusted by the manufacturer. A set of cybersecurity tools is available as standard including VPN and stateful Firewall support for data security and user authentication.

Legacy serial (RS-232/485) ports allow the Merlin 4400 to be used in applications where it is necessary to migrate from modems to an IP infrastructure. The built-in industrial protocol gateway enables several devices using different protocols to be accessed via a common protocol interface.

Lynx 3510 PoE is a compact high-performance industrial Power over Ethernet switch. It combines outstanding performance with the capability to supply power to high-power devices over long distances. With all 8 copper ports providing up to 30W output per port and a total budget of 240W, the possibilities for lean and simple installations are ideal, only one cable is needed for both connectivity and power. In addition, the flexibility is further increased by the advanced PoE management functions.

The switch is designed with the harshest industrial environments in mind and is capable to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations, humidity and electrical environments. The use of only industrial-grade components contributes to ensure market-leading mean time between failure (MTBF), maximized service life and reduced operational and life cycle costs.

The device is thoroughly tested both by Westermo and external test institutes to meet a rich selection of EMC, isolation, vibration and shock standards, all to the highest levels suitable for heavy industrial environments and rail trackside applications.

Powered by the next-generation WeOS operating system, ensuring robust operation and support for an expanding range of protocols and features. The Lynx 3510 PoE features intuitive setup and configuration, removing the need for specialized IT support or training, and enabling easy and cost-efficient installation. In addition, recognizing the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, an extensive suite of cybersecurity tools is available including hardware support for secure boot. These tools can be used to build networks in compliance with the IEC 62443 standard, which defines technical security requirements for data communication network components.

Lynx 3510 PoE is the ideal choice for handling big data and high bandwidth requirements typically found within transportation, manufacturing, energy, smart cities and other applications.

The Lynx 5612 is a high-performance substation automation-approved Ethernet switch ideal for energy and substation automation applications.

It is the most compact high-performance switch for energy systems on the market. It has been developed with the needs of current and future networks in mind. Combining outstanding performance, durability and reliability, it is ideal switch for handling big data and high bandwidth requirements.

Critical energy infrastructure cannot tolerate interruptions of service which is why the switch is engineered to maintain uninterrupted data communication even in exceptionally harsh environments. It has been tested and verified to withstand extreme temperatures, vibrations and EMI and fulfils the requirements defined in and IEC 61850-3 Ed.2

Furthermore, only industrial grade components are used which contributes towards a market leading mean time between failure(MTBF), maximized service life and reduced operational and life cycle costs. By providing full gigabit speed on all 12 ports, four flexible SFP ports and layer 2 and layer 3 functionality, a broad range of applications are possible. Powered by the next generation WeOS operating system, which ensures robust operation and support for an expanding range of protocols and features. In addition, recognizing the growing sophistication of cyberattacks, an extensive suite of cyber security tools is available.

The switch is also prepared for routing acceleration, extended cybersecurity and time synchronization IEEE 1588v2 applications, making it the ideal solution to meet future security and bandwidth requirements.
