The 7L600 is a ModBlox7-based single-pair Ethernet switch that is suitable as a multifunctional gateway in a wide range of IIoT or retrofit applications, but can also serve as an edge computer for (real-time) data pre-processing and data collection thanks to the on-board ARM CPU. The 7L600 is equipped with seven 100 BASE-T1 ports and two 1000BASE-T uplinks in accordance with IEC 63171-6. The SPE ports are hi-pot isolated and fully compatible with the Open Alliance BroadR- Reach standard. Inside the switch is the 88Q5072 Ethernet controller from Marvell, which supports AVB and TSN and also enables uncomplicated configuration via local or remote management functions. Optionally, the switch can be extended by an ARM-based mezzanine controller card, which can transform the switch into an edge computer.
