PROmesh P24+ | Full-managed switch for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP

The PROmesh P24+ is a 24-port managed Ethernet switch engineered specifically for PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. This industrial-grade switch combines robust network infrastructure with integrated diagnostic capabilities, providing both reliable connectivity and real-time network health monitoring. Unlike standard commercial switches, the PROmesh P24+ is designed for the demanding requirements of manufacturing environments where network performance directly impacts production uptime and operational efficiency.

Key Features
24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX for flexible connectivity without crossover cables. All ports support full wire-speed switching to ensure maximum throughput even under heavy network traffic conditions.

PROFINET-optimized Quality of Service (QoS) that prioritizes real-time control traffic over standard Ethernet communications. The switch automatically recognizes PROFINET frames and ensures they receive transmission priority, maintaining deterministic communication timing even when sharing network infrastructure with other protocols.

VLAN support for network segmentation that separates control traffic from enterprise traffic on the same physical infrastructure. Engineers can create isolated network segments for different production areas or security zones while maintaining centralized switch management.

Port mirroring capabilities that enable non-intrusive network monitoring and diagnostics. Traffic from any port can be mirrored to an analyzer port for troubleshooting or protocol analysis without disrupting production communications.

Integrated network diagnostics including topology detection, cable quality monitoring, and device health tracking. The switch continuously monitors network conditions and provides early warning of developing problems before they cause communication failures.

Redundant power supply inputs for maximum uptime in critical applications. Dual power connections ensure the switch continues operating even if one power source fails, eliminating the network switch as a single point of failure.

Web-based management interface accessible from any device on the network, providing configuration and monitoring capabilities without specialized software installation. Administrators can view port status, configure VLANs, adjust QoS settings, and review diagnostic data through an intuitive browser interface.

DIN-rail mounting for standard industrial cabinet installation with compact design that minimizes panel space requirements while maximizing port density.

Common Applications
PROFINET network backbone providing centralized connectivity for distributed I/O, drives, HMIs, and control systems. The switch handles both real-time PROFINET traffic and standard TCP/IP communications on a unified infrastructure.

Network segmentation implementations that isolate production networks from enterprise networks while maintaining controlled communication paths. VLANs enable secure separation without requiring duplicate physical infrastructure.

Redundant network topologies using media redundancy protocols for maximum uptime in critical production environments. The switch supports ring and star redundancy configurations that provide automatic failover if cable or port failures occur.

Multi-protocol installations where PROFINET devices share network infrastructure with EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, or other industrial Ethernet protocols. QoS ensures each protocol receives appropriate bandwidth and priority.
