Product Introduction
The GE Fanuc IS420ESWBH3AE is an industrial Ethernet switch module designed to serve as a high‑reliability communication backbone for critical automation systems (especially turbine control or process control racks). It is offered under the GE / GE Fanuc branding, typically found in the Mark VIe / Mark VIeS platform environments.
This switch provides multiple RJ‑45 ports (10/100BASE‑TX) in a compact, rugged industrial form‑factor, with features such as redundant power inputs, fanless convection cooling, DIN‑rail or panel mounting, and an extended temperature range. It is suitable for environments where uptime, robustness and connectivity are vital (for example gas turbines, steam turbines, power generation control systems, process plants).
By installing the IS420ESWBH3AE module, you gain a dependable Ethernet networking element inside an automation rack, enabling reliable data exchange between controllers, I/O modules, and supervisory systems.

Advantages
-
High reliability in critical networks: With features such as redundant power inputs, convection cooling (no moving parts) and rugged industrial spec, the module is built for continuous operation in demanding environments.
-
Compact rugged form‑factor: The small size (138 × 86 × 56 mm) and light weight (≈ 0.45 kg) allow easy integration into automation racks where space is premium.
-
Industry‑standard Ethernet connectivity: Provides multiple 10/100BASE‑TX ports, enabling controllers, I/O modules, and supervisory devices to share high-speed deterministic communication.
-
Fanless, low maintenance: The absence of a cooling fan reduces maintenance needs and improves the module’s reliability in dusty or harsh conditions.
-
Broad temperature and storage range: With operating rating down to –40 °C up to +70 °C, it can be used in harsh ambient conditions or control cabinets with thermal stress.
-
Multiple mounting options: DIN‑rail or panel mounting gives flexibility in how the device is installed in control cabinets or field enclosures.
-
Proven brand and ecosystem compatibility: The GE / GE Fanuc branding ensures compatibility with the Mark VIe/VIeS automation platforms, giving confidence in integration and support.
Applications
-
Within turbine control systems (steam or gas turbines) as part of the Mark VIe / Mark VIeS automation rack to connect controllers, I/O modules and supervisory networks.
-
Industrial plants (power generation, petrochemical, oil & gas) which require reliable Ethernet switching within cabinets subject to harsh ambient conditions.
-
Automation cabinets for distributed I/O, allowing high‑speed communication between field sensors/transmitters, controllers and HMIs.
-
Offshore or marine installations (if rated accordingly) where vibration, temperature variation, and reliability demands are high.
-
Retrofit of automation systems: replacing older switching hardware with this compact rugged module enables improved network reliability and reduced maintenance overhead.
