Moxa Releases Ethernet Switch Lines
Moxa has released the EDS-600 series of compact Ethernet switches for space-critical field applications that require a flexible and expandable Ethernet infrastructure or multiple fiber solutions. The modular managed Ethernet switches offer a rich selection of media modules, as well as being flexible. They provide up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to four modular expansion slots for Fast Ethernet modules with a choice of copper and/or fiber connectors.
The entire line features a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75ºC as well as hot-swappable media modules to ensure reliable operation. Moxa’s EDS-600 modular Ethernet switch product line is a cost-effective Ethernet infrastructure solution that maximises flexibility and simplifies expansion.
The EDS-600 managed Ethernet switches feature versatile software functionality, including Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain redundancy with a fast recovery time under 20 ms, Modbus/TCP for integrating with SCADA/HMI systems, LLDP to enable automatic detection of network topology, IPv6 for next generation networking, and IEEE 1588 PTP to synchronize devices on a network with sub-microsecond precision, just to name a few.
