Ethernet Cable Guard - 700-200-LAN01

The Ethernet Cable Guard enables the service life monitoring of Ethernet data cables (100Base-TX) with a focus on dynamic applications in automation technology, such as a trailing cable to moving machine parts (robots). With the Ethernet Cable Guard, system availability can be increased, and down-times can be planned. This enables a significant reduction in maintenance costs. The Cable Guard is looped into the cable harness to be monitored and can provide information about the quality of the cable connection via a status LED, a separate network connection or a digital output. The feedback can be displayed as a PWM signal at the output. The alarm limit value can be set individually ("lifetime" 99 - 50 %). For integration into IIoT structures, the monitored cable status can also be sent via MQTT by the Cable Guard.The particularly compact design is suitable for use in decentralized control cabinets and can be mounted on standard DIN rails.The Cable Guard is also suitable for EtherCAT, E
