Westermo DDW-142-12VDC-BP Industrial Managed Ethernet Extender | Easy World Automation

Description

Westermo Ethernet extender technology based on SHDSL makes it possible to reuse many types of pre-existing copper cables, which can lead to considerable financial savings when installing new systems. The Wolverine DDW-142 allows effective Ethernet networks to be created over long distances (up to 15 km (9.3 mi)) at data rates up to 15.3 Mbit/s on a single twisted pair cable. By using two pairs of “bonded”, this rate can be doubled up to 30.6 Mbit/s. The integral switch allows 2 Ethernet devices to be attached, and an RS-232 port allows for a legacy piece of equipment to be incorporated into the IP network.

WeOS can deliver unique security functionality for this class of product as well as allow the DDW-142 to form part of a resilient multimedia ring network using the Westermo FRNT protocol or industry-standard STP/RSTP. WeOS has been developed to provide industrial networking solutions and contains amazing serial connectivity capability – from being able to simulate an old AT modem, convert Modbus RTU to TCP, or encapsulate serial data into an IP packet.

The DDW-142 is incredibly flexible and easy to use. A basic point-to-point or multidrop network can be created without the need for any configuration. If however, a more complex solution requires some kind of network configuration, the Web-based setup is simple to use. A CLI interface is also provided, making the unit easy for networking professionals to master quickly. Once the system is configured, an easy solution is also available for the maintenance engineer – USB backup and restore, which means that stored configurations can be automatically downloaded from a USB stick.

The DDW-142 is often used in applications on railways, roads, or utilities where failure could result in significant costs. All Westermo products are designed with high MTBF in mind to improve operational reliability and also give a long service life. Even features like the SHDSL diagnostics and management allow indication of line degradation, allowing for planned maintenance. As the unit is designed for these applications, Westermo also ensures that testing is carried out to ensure the unit can operate at extremes of temperature, EMC, and vibration, and still provide robust communications.
