The ABB NE810 (3BSE080207R1) is a rugged, fully managed Layer‑2 industrial Ethernet switch built for deployment in harsh environments. It offers eight 10/100 Mbps RJ‑45 copper ports alongside two multi-rate 10/100/1000 Mbps SFP fiber slots. Designed for reliability, it supports redundant 24–60 V DC power inputs and ABB’s Fast Recovery of Network Topology (FRNT) protocol—making it ideal for safety‑critical systems like tunnels, railways, traffic control, and petrochemical plants.

Product Specifications

Applications

• Real-time Ethernet networking in power plants, tunnels, refineries, and traffic-control systems.

• Redundant ring and point-to-point fiber setups across distances up to 120 km.

• Integration with ABB’s System 800xA and AC 800M control systems.

• Safety-critical deployments in railways and marine vessels (DNV certified).

• Precise QoS support (4 priority queues + HoL prevention) for deterministic process-system communication.

• Remote monitoring via PNSM to maintain network diagnostics and health.

Advantages

• Ultra-fast recovery: FRNT enables network reconfiguration in milliseconds after a failure.

• Flexible media use: Multi-rate SFP slots accept 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps fiber—single-mode, multi-mode, or BiDi modules.

• Robust power: Redundant 19–60 V DC inputs minimize downtime.

• Industrial resilience: Rated for –40 °C to +70 °C, IP40, and marine environments with DNV approval.

• Deterministic quality: Four-tier QoS and strict scheduling ensure real-time data delivery.

• DIN‑mount design: Compact 101 x 52 x 100 mmprofile fits standard control cabinets.

• Backed by ABB: Fully supported with firmware, diagnostics, integration with 800xA, plus long lifespan.

• Managed features: VLANs, SNMP, port mirroring, link aggregation for granular network control.

• Long-range fiber support: SFP transceivers reach up to 120 km for extended connectivity.

• Easy installation: Removable I/O terminal, serial console, and standardized interfaces simplify setup.
