Balluff BNI TCP-952-000-E029 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Balluff BNI TCP-952-000-E029 Industrial Ethernet Switch is an unmanaged 8-port DIN-rail‑mountable switch designed for rugged, space‑constrained industrial environments. It provides eight RJ45 Ethernet ports for TCP/IP networking and is powered from two independent 12–48 V DC inputs via terminal blocks, with a dedicated earth ground for safety. A built‑in relay output is rated at 1 A at 250 VAC, and two DIP switches enable alarms for Port 1 and Port 2, supporting basic local fault signaling without external controllers. The enclosure is IP30 rated and compact, with approximate dimensions of 50 mm (width) × 76.5 mm (height) × 135 mm (depth), making it suitable for tight panel layouts. The model is identified as BNI TCP-952-000-E029 with ordering code BNI0067 in Balluff’s catalog and price lists. Designed for quick, straightforward deployment within Balluff’s industrial TCP/IP networking ecosystem, this 8‑port unmanaged switch is well suited for small to mid‑size automation networks where reliable, unconfigured connectivity is required. Typical applications include forming subnets within machine cells, interconnecting field devices and controllers, and extending a local network in compact enclosure spaces where DIN‑rail mounting is preferred.
