Description

The FL SWITCH SFN… range of Factory Line switches with
standard functions in numerous versions can be used for
quick and cost-effective Ethernet network expansion to the
field level. Due to their narrow housing design, the
components are suitable for universal remote use in control
cabinets and junction boxes. The switches have five or eight
ports, up to two of which are glass fiber ports provided in SC
or ST format. The switches support the auto negotiation
function at the twisted pair ports and offer transmission
speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps depending on the switch
version. Mixed operation for the connection of segments
with different data transmission speeds is also supported.
The glass fiber ports only support 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps
(Gigabit version).

–

–

The RJ45 ports offer an auto crossing function, which means
it is not necessary to make a distinction between 1:1 and
crossover cables.
The fiber optic ports can be used to extend the segment
length up to 20 km. Unused RJ45 ports can be fitted with
security caps to provide mechanical protection against
unauthorized use.
The FL SWITCH SFN…GT… switches offer additional
gigabit performance, alarm contact and redundant power
input capability.

Features
Increased network performance
– Switched Ethernet reduces traffic and non
predictable timing
– Quality of Service: Pretagged high priority
messages are forwarded before lower priority
messages during periods of high network traffic
loading
– Gigabit options for data intensive applications
– Gigabit switches support jumbo frames up to
9600 bytes per frame
Easy network expansion
– No configuration of the switch
– Auto negotiation and autocross simplify cabling
– Coupling copper network segments with different
bit rates with automatic detection of the data
transmission speed of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or
1000 Mbps depending on the switch version
Fiber optic options extend distance and electrical noise
immunity
– 1- or 2-port options
– SC or ST connector options
– Multimode or singlemode option
Low cost, low complexity security (optional)
– Connect Layer 1 security elements at the RJ45 port
to restrict access or tampering

Please note the different connection directions of the transmission media for five-port switches: copper cables
are connected at the front, glass fiber cables at the bottom.
Make sure you always use the latest documentation.

Using the FL SEC PAC Kit for Port Security

Layer 1 Port security for up to 4 ports is provided by
purchasing the FL SEC PAC kit. The kit contains four red
security frames, four gray port blocking security caps,
unlocking key and instructions. The red security frame must
first be attached to each port that is to be secured.
1. First orient the red security frame so that the cable
locking tabs of both the frame and the switch are
aligned.
2. Insert the four mounting feet of the security frame into
the pre-punched holes around the switch port and push
until the frame snaps into place with an audible click.
Once attached, the security frames are
permanently mounted and cannot be removed.
3.

Inserted cables or gray port blocking security caps are
now locked into place. Instructions for using the key to
unlock the cables or security caps are included in the
kit.

Store and Forward
All data telegrams received by the switch are saved and
their validity checked. Invalid or faulty data packets
(> 1522 bytes or CRC errors) and fragments
(< 64 bytes) are rejected. Valid data telegrams are
forwarded by the switch. The switch always forwards
the data using the data transmission speed that is used
in the destination network segment.
Multi-Address Function
The switch independently learns the addresses for
termination devices, which are connected via a port, by
evaluating the source addresses in the data telegrams.
Only packets with unknown addresses, with a source
address of this port or with a multicast/broadcast
address in the destination address field are forwarded
via the corresponding port. The switch can store
addresses in its address table with an aging time of
5 minutes. This is important when more than one
termination device is connected to one or more ports. In
this way, several independent subnetworks can be
connected to one switch.
A restart deletes the entire address table.

frames are technically defined as 9000 bytes or less, but
commercial use of the term has been applied to packet
sizes over 9000 bytes. Jumbo frames are used to reduce
network loading when transferring large data files. Fewer
but larger packets, containing fewer overall overhead bytes,
increase the overall network efficiency.

Jumbo Frame Performance Factors

The switch’s frame buffer size, the size of the frames
(bytes/frame) and overall traffic loading of the network
(bandwidth) impact the overall application performance. In
the following sections, the loading per port is compared with
the maximum frame size. At packet (frame) sizes over
3000 bytes, the switch will start sending pause frames to
control the traffic flow (see vertical line on Figure 11 and
Figure 12). As the size of the frame increases, the sending
of pause frames increases. Figure 11 and Figure 12
indicate the maximum loading per port that can occur (for
each jumbo frame size) until the buffer is overloaded and
packets start to be dropped.
Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13 display traffic
loading for 1000 Mbps (gigabit) data rates. For
100 Mbps data rates divide the y axis numbers
by 10.

Application Guidelines

The use of jumbo frames in industrial applications typically
falls into two major application classes:
– Bidirectional data transfers: usually caused by larger
data file exchanges between controllers or PC
applications. These may use jumbo frames in both
directions (read/write) between the industrial devices.
– Unidirectional data transfer: typically found in networks
where security cameras or vision inspection equipment
feed back to a centralized monitoring station. In these
cases, the vast majority of the traffic flows in one

PHOENIX CONTACT

11

FL SWITCH SFN…

Bidirectional data transfer guidelines
When using jumbo frames for bidirectional data transfers,
the generation of pause frames starts at 3000-byte size
frames. Traffic loadings of near 100% are possible with
frame sizes up to 7000 bytes. Above 7000 bytes the percent
traffic loading has to be reduced to prevent dropped
packets.

Calculating Total Network loading with
cascaded (trunk topology) switches

Because of the buffer size considerations when using jumbo
frames, network bandwidth loading should be planned in
advance to prevent packet loss.
1. Determine the total application traffic load for the
connected devices.
Add all the traffic loads from each device that will be
connected to the switch and transferred to the main
trunk line. When using cameras or vision systems, the
bandwidth usage per device can be high (see Table 2).
Actual numbers may vary depending on the camera or
device type used.

Maximum unidirectional traffic loading per port

When cascading devices in a trunk topology, up to 18 Mbps

3.

Add all the application traffic from all connected
switches and compare to the maximum network
capacity.
As the trunk traffic passes from switch to switch, add the
total application device traffic from all the switches. The
traffic load on the trunk ports cannot be greater than the
total bandwidth available (1000 Mbps for gigabit and
100 Mbps for Fast Ethernet ports).
Determine the traffic load for bandwidth consumed by
application overhead and pause frames (see
Figure 13). After the first switch, add this amount for
each additional switch segment.

PHOENIX CONTACT

12

FL SWITCH SFN…

4.

As an example, if a total of four switches are connected
together, there will be a first switch then three additional
switched segments. This means that three times the
overhead value must be used.
Add all the application traffic (step 2.) with all the over
head values (step 3.) and compare with the total
available bandwidth.

Example 1
Assuming gigabit devices are used with 9000-byte jumbo
frames and a total of three cascaded switches. Each switch
has one 8 bit/pixel camera plus 10 Mbps of miscellaneous
traffic from other ports.

Example 2
To take advantage of the bandwidth not used in example 1,
assume one of the cameras is now required to operate at
12 bits per pixel.
The increased camera color depth increases the traffic load
to a total of 639 Mbps. Combined with the 360 Mbps
overhead with a 9000-byte frame size, the total bandwidth is
999 Mbps. While technically within the capability of a
1000 Mb switch, any additional traffic across the
transmission line could result in frame loss.

Figure 14 depicts an example with three cameras
connected to individual switches. Each camera is
configured for an 8 bits per pixel color depth, creating a
load of 182 Mbps per camera (see Table 2) with a total
traffic load of 546 Mbps. Frame size is configured to 9000
bytes creating an overhead of 180 Mbps (see Figure 13) for
each cascading switch for a total of 360 Mbps.

One possible solution is to change the frame size to
8000 bytes, reducing the overhead (see Figure 15). The
reduced frame size results in a total overhead of 320 Mbps.
Combined with the camera traffic load, the resulting
bandwidth requirement is 959 Mbps, allowing some space
for additional traffic.

182 Mbps

9000-byte frame size example

Adding the camera data and overhead together indicates a
total traffic load of 906 Mbps, leaving 94 Mbps of the
1000 Mbps total unused.
