The Allen-Bradley 1783-LMS8 is a Stratix 2500 lightweight managed Ethernet switch. This communication hardware features eight (8) Ethernet copper ports supporting a transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps. It is powered by a 12-24V DC external power supply with an input current of 0.4-0.2 A (SELV). Its power consumption is 5.3 watts. This Ethernet switch supports DIN rail mounting and can be configured via the Device Manager web interface of Studio 5000 Logix Designer.
The Allen-Bradley 1783-LMS8 is an Ethernet communication hardware component. This lightweight managed Ethernet switch is primarily used to build industrial Ethernet I/P networks to enable distributed I/O architectures, human-machine interfaces (HMIs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and data exchange with other automation equipment, thereby achieving message passing functionality.
The 1783-LMS8 Allen Bradley Stratix Managed Ethernet Switch may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

1.Network Segmentation: Supports Virtual LANs (VLANs), enabling electrical engineers to logically segment networks on a single hardware platform, thereby reducing local broadcast traffic overhead.
2.Studio 5000 Integration: Provides a complete Logix Additional Profile (AOP) for direct integration into the Studio 5000 environment, allowing PLCs to seamlessly map CIP diagnostic data.
3.Redundancy Protocol: Built-in Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration prevents accidental network loops and supports basic link recovery.
4.Port-Level Security: Allows administrators to restrict network access by limiting specific ports to specified terminal device MAC addresses.
Current Status: Rockwell Automation maintains its product lifecycle rating as "Active," meaning the product will continue to be fully manufactured, sold, and supported as a modernized device.
Historical Background: The 1783-LMS8 was originally introduced by Rockwell as the primary official upgrade solution to replace discontinued older Stratix 6000 series hardware (such as the 1783-EMS08T).
