The IE-SWx-WAVE switching hub is designed for the Industrial Automation environment. Like all Ether-
net switches from Weidmüller, it features non-blocking (full band width) operation. IE-SWx-WAVE divi-
des an Ethernet network into segments, "bridging" data links to create larger network diameters than
possible with repeating hubs.
Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps controlling
data flow with the PAUSE function in full-duplex links or with the backpressure function in
half-duplex links. Port assignments are learned by reading Ethernet frames and logging the source ad-
dresses to a table.
Throughput is improved by restricting traffic to those parties ports to a data exchange – while other
data is simultaneously exchanged on other ports. Store-and-forward operation is implemented and bro-
adcast, multicast, or unicast transmissions are received by all ports.
The IE-SWx-WAVE has five Auto-MDIX ports for attaching local devices. In addition to a
power LED, each port has one LED showing link/activity/rate and one showing duplex
status. The switch operates with a alternating current (AC) alternatively with direct current (DC) power.

The IE-SWx-WAVE is designd for the application in the industrial environment (IP20). The product is
equipped with Ethernet interfaces and serves exclusively for the connecting of components inside of
network. The data communication between these network participants is enable by the connection of
network components.
