Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches
Compact DIN Rail Switches
Specifically designed to connect devices in network environments that are subject to extreme operating temperatures of -40°C to 75°C, vibrations, and shocks, Perle has over 516 models of Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches. They are built to exceed the specifications of commercial switches with industrial safety certification and approval for hazardous locations, making them ideal for the harsh environments found in factory and industrial automation, marine, rail and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), oil and gas, mining and outdoor applications.
Perle IDS Managed Switches come with Enterprise-grade features, extensive security, QoS, and network integration functionality:
- PROFINET and Modbus TCP protocols supported for monitoring and device management
- Ring Protocol MRP (IEC 62439-2) for <10ms recovery time
- STP/RSTP/MSTP for network redundancy
- TACACS+ and RADIUS authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) security services
- SSH, SNMPv3, and HTTPS secure management sessions
- IEEE 1588 V1 and V2 PTP for microsecond accuracy
- Protection of User Access Ports through IEEE 802.1x Authentication and Port Security
- Advanced protocols to optimize the performance and intelligence of the network: IGMP Snooping, LLDP-MED, GVRP, Voice VLANs, MSTP, GMRP, and IPv6 MLD Snooping

Why Choose a Perle IDS Industrial Switch?
Perle Knows Industrial
We have been designing industrial hardware for Modbus and PROFINET to ethernet conversion for over 40 years. This expertise has been used to design the toughest Ethernet Switches on the market. Perle IDS-300 and IDS-500 Switches with the PRO feature set can be managed via PLC, NMS, HMI or SCADA systems using PROFINET or Modbus TCP. In addition, MRP (IEC 62439-2) provides fast convergence in an industrial ring network topology.
Industrial Temperature-Grade
Many manufacturers claim -40°C to 75°C but use commercial parts that will fail in environments with extremely high or low temperatures. Integrated PCB circuits will overheat and under-rated connectors will not allow for proper contact between the device and cables. To prevent this, every component used in Perle Industrial Temperature Switches has been designed and tested to handle operating temperatures between -40°C and 75°C.
Standards-Based
To ensure that the system will operate with other Ethernet-enabled devices and IP applications, Perle IDS Switches use IEEE standards-based protocols. This also facilitates integration between industrial equipment and business office applications. These industry-recognized standards ensure the highest level of durability and adaptability under harsh environmental conditions
Robust & Reliable
Perle only uses high-end components from leading western chip manufacturers to ensure product reliability. This enables us to proudly publish the high MTBF rates on the Hardware Specs for each product. And, we back-up this reliability with a best-in-class Warranty.
Technical Support
We have sales and technical support staff around the globe to support you. If you need help choosing the best DIN-Rail Switch for your application, we provide technical consultations by phone or email. And, even though Perle Industrial Switches are extremely easy to install and configure, post-sales support is easy to contact.
