The Allen-Bradley 1783-BMS10CL (1783BMS10CL Stratix 5700 Managed Ethernet Switch) provides managed Ethernet connectivity through eight RJ45 ports and two combo ports, with a 12 to 48 VDC input range.

Model Identification

The supplied product information identifies 1783-BMS10CL as a Stratix 5700 managed Ethernet switch. The source also labels it as FLEX I/O, but the stated product parameters identify the hardware as a Stratix 5700 switch. The FLEX I/O designation is therefore not treated as the product series.

Hardware Specifications

Ethernet Network Architecture

The 1783-BMS10CL is specified as a managed Ethernet switch within the Allen-Bradley Stratix 5700 platform. Its 10-port configuration consists of eight RJ45 ports and two combo ports.

The available data confirms a 12 to 48 VDC input supply and compatibility with the 1784-SD1 memory card. Specific Ethernet data rates, switching capacity, VLAN limits, firmware revisions, and supported redundancy protocols are not provided and are therefore not assigned here.

For EtherNet/IP systems, network topology and configuration should be established according to the installed Stratix 5700 system documentation. Deterministic network behavior depends on the complete network architecture rather than the switch catalog number alone.

Memory and Configuration Interface

The supplied specification identifies the 1784-SD1 as the applicable memory card. No detailed memory capacity, supported file structure, configuration transfer procedure, or firmware storage function is provided in the supplied data.

Firmware compatibility should be checked against the exact switch revision and installed system software before configuration changes or replacement.

Ordering Configuration

Installation and Wiring Guidelines

Power Connection

• Verify that the available DC supply is within the specified 12 to 48 VDC input range.
• Use appropriately rated control wiring for the installed DC supply.
• Keep DC power wiring separated from high-current motor and switching circuits where practical.

Ethernet Connections

• Connect RJ45 network cables according to the configured Ethernet topology.
• Avoid routing communication cables directly alongside high-voltage conductors for extended distances.
• Protect connectors from excessive mechanical tension and vibration.

Mounting

• Install the switch on the designated mounting surface using the applicable hardware.
• Maintain sufficient clearance around the enclosure for cable access and heat dissipation.
• Do not obstruct ventilation openings where present.

Configuration and Firmware

• Record the existing switch configuration before replacement.
• Verify firmware compatibility before transferring configuration files.
• Do not remove or insert the 1784-SD1 memory card while the equipment is energized unless the applicable installation documentation explicitly permits the operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What series does the 1783-BMS10CL belong to?

  The supplied product parameters identify it as an Allen-Bradley Stratix 5700 managed Ethernet switch.

• How many Ethernet ports are provided?

  The specified configuration contains 10 ports: 8 RJ45 ports and 2 combo ports.

• What DC input voltage is specified?

  The listed input voltage range is 12 to 48 VDC. The actual system supply should remain within this specified range.

• Does the switch use a memory card?

  The supplied information identifies the 1784-SD1 as the applicable memory card. Capacity and configuration functions are not specified in the provided data.

• Is power consumption specified?

  No power consumption value is provided in the supplied specifications. A system power calculation should therefore use the applicable manufacturer documentation.

• Is the switch hot-swappable?

  Hot-swap capability is not established by the supplied data. Installation or replacement should follow the applicable Stratix 5700 procedure.

• What operating temperature is specified?

  No operating temperature range is provided. Environmental suitability should be confirmed using the technical documentation for the exact hardware revision.

• What Ethernet protocol performance is confirmed?

  The supplied data confirms a managed Ethernet switch, but does not specify switching throughput, VLAN capacity, EtherNet/IP features, or redundancy timing.
