Switch plug-in card Insys Microelectronics icom MRcard ES

The INSYS icom MRcard ES is a wired switch plug-in card for MRX series routers, designed to extend connectivity options and improve network stability in industrial environments. It provides a 100 Mbit/s switch interface that integrates directly into the MRX platform, reducing the need for additional external devices and saving space in the control cabinet.

Advantages

The MRcard ES consolidates switching functionality inside the MRX router, lowering hardware and cabling requirements while simplifying installation and management. By combining plug-in cards in a single device you can implement redundant paths and fallback options without extra units. The modular design also allows cost-effective technology upgrades and future expansions without extensive reconfiguration of the router.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the MRcard ES into a compatible MRX router slot following the router manufacturer's instructions. Once inserted and secured, configure the MRX router's network settings to enable the switch ports and define VLANs, routing or redundancy behaviour as required for your application. Verify link status and throughput after configuration to ensure correct operation.

Recommendations

Use the MRcard ES in combination with other MRcards to achieve desired redundancy (e.g., DSL, mobile radio or fibre) and perform firmware updates on the MRX platform to keep the switch functionality aligned with the latest features and security fixes.
