Stratix Switches
Facilitating IT/OT Collaboration: Allen-Bradley® Stratix® switches provide a secure switching/ routing infrastructure that supports the needs of a wide range of industrial operations.
Connect these switches to your network devices, such as servers, routers and other switches, to form the communications backbone of your industrial control systems. Stratix switches are designed, optimized and tested for industrial control systems allowing the control system devices to react in real time to communication events and mitigate risk in a manufacturing environment. Stratix switches contain distinct capabilities when used with your Logix control system. This includes a rich Logix Designer application interface for configuration and operation of your Stratix equipment working with the control system. Prebuilt operation interfaces for your FactoryTalk® View terminals will service switch alarms automatically, along with product and application support, giving you a single point of contact for support of the industrial control system
