Phoenix Contact, the global market leader in unmanaged switches, has added a new series of unmanaged switches with a compact form factor, gigabit speeds, automation protocol traffic prioritization, and flexible installation options.
Today's networks have more devices than ever before, which leads to heavier network traffic. The FL SWITCH 1000 features automation protocol prioritization (APP), making it easy to prioritize the most important traffic. Mission-critical industrial communications, such as Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, and BACnet, are sent through the network first.
The FL SWITCH 1000 series comes in five- and eight-port variants in widths of only 22.5 mm, and 16-port switches measure 40 mm wide. The first models available support Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet transmission speeds with jumbo frame support.
With a panel-mount accessory, the switch can be mounted directly onto a cabinet or machine, making them suitable for applications without a DIN rail. The switches have Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), so they consume less power. This will reduce heat, lower cost, and help extend the life of the switch, all without changing the footprint of the device.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
