Stratix 8000™ and 8300™

Industrial Ethernet Switches

The Rockwell Automation Stratix 8000/8300 industrial Ethernet switch

line with Cisco technology is the fi rst of its kind. This modular managed

switch line uses the current Cisco Catalyst switch architecture and

feature set, along with powerful confi guration tools, helping to provide

secure integration with the enterprise network using tools familiar to IT

professionals. At the same time, it allows easy setup and diagnostics from

within the Rockwell Automation Integration Architecture using tools

familiar to manufacturing professionals.

The Stratix 8000 is a Layer 2 switch. The Stratix 8300 embodies the same

capabilities as the Stratix 8000, but is a Layer 3 switch that supports

routing between Subnets and VLANs.

Copper, fi ber, SFP and Power over Ethernet expansion modules can all

be added to a Stratix 8000/8300 system. Copper and Fiber expansion

modules can be combined to provide additional copper and fi ber ports on

your system. SFP expansion modules can add up to 12 fi ber ports with the

ability to mix and match multi-mode and single mode SFPs. Power over

Ethernet (PoE) modules pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet

cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and

electrical power to devices such as wireless access points – reducing

wiring and improving the ability to turn devices on/off for power savings

and added security.

• Layer 3 routing

• RSLogix™ 5000 for confi guration via

Add-on Profi les

• Predefi ned Logix tags for diagnostics

• FactoryTalk® View Faceplates for status

monitoring and alarming

• Secure integration with enterprise

network

• Cisco internet operating system (IOS)

• Common confi guration tools; command

Kevin Seeley, ITS Manager at Kimberly-Clark Corporation

believes “the partnership between

Rockwell Automation and Cisco Systems

is the fi rst step in helping address needed

industry standards and best practices.

Their reference architecture model is a

foundational building block for delivering

security and reliability for the interconnect-

ed manufacturing and corporate systems

worlds. Companies will be looking to

Rockwell Automation and Cisco Systems

over the coming months to continue the

momentum in developing and leading the

market in establishing a common set of

standards and best practices for the

manufacturing infrastructure environment.”

Layer 3 Routing

As the evolution of Ethernet on the plant fl oor continues to

grow exponentially with new applications such as motion,

safety and I/O, IP traffi c has increased signifi cantly and proper

segmentation to the network is becoming more important.

VLANs become a best practice to segment networks by function

rather than location in the plant. The Stratix 8300 with Layer 3

functionality provides communications between the segmented

networks for better performance and better security.

Proper segmentation allows users to:

• Avoid the high cost of expanding plant networks when increasing production by adding new machines

• Improve performance compared to software-based routers

• Protect against broadcast noice while allowing workstations access to the required resources
