Networking
SICOM3004/SICOM3006 industrial Ethernet switch provides 2 10/100Base‐TX RJ45 ports, each
of which can provide direct links to the terminal devices, or be connected to another industrial
Ethernet switch/hub before terminal devices as shared links.
Meanwhile, SICOM3004 provides 2 downlink redundant 100Base‐FX SM/MM fiber ports or 2
10/100Based‐TX RJ45 ports which can form 100M redundant ring network with the recovery
time of less than 50ms.
SICOM3006 provides 4 downlink redundant 100Base‐FX SM/MM fiber ports or 4
10/100Based‐TX RJ45 ports which can form 100M redundant ring network with the recovery
time of less than 50ms.
SICOM3004/SICOM3006 can be widely used in the fields of power, transportation, energy, water
treatment, factory automation, etc.
The most typical networking topology of SICOM3004/SICOM3006 is redundant ring network.
SICOM3004/SICOM3006 can form the redundant ring network as shown in Figure 6‐1, in which
one device is set as master and the rest are slaves. The recovery time of re‐communication is less
than 50ms.
