RS30 and RS40 rail switches with management functions guarantee high availability of complex automation systems with innovative redundancy solutions and the option of network monitoring. Fourth generation SPIDER switches feature higher port density and gigabit-Ethernet on all ports. These simple unmanaged switches offer plug & play functionality in the lower area of the network pyramid. Hirschmann developed the attractively priced SPIDER family for customers who are looking for a low-cost path to industrial Ethernet. These gigabit enabled switches move 10x the traffic of fast Ethernet to seemlessly integrate your data, voice and video applications. In addition, excellent warranties and dedicated customer support minimize downtime, protect critical infrastructure and provide peace of mind.Add gigabit capacity to your plant backbone with Hirschmann's selection of hardened railmount and rackmount industrial Ethernet switches. With a purpose-built portfolio, Belden’s wired, wireless and embedded products deliver the highest confidence of reliability, availability and security. Its global brands – Hirschmann, GarrettCom and Tofino Security – are leading the way in the adoption of industrial Ethernet. From cabling, through switches and routers, supplemented by wireless local area network (WLAN), firewalls and network management software, a seamless high-availability solution for state-of-the-art automation networks is now available from a single supplier.Ĭlick here to learn more about the new HiOS Operating System.Īn early innovator in industrial Ethernet, Belden knows Industrial IT and is delivering the next generation of industrial networking solutions. HiOS extends the range of applications for the latest generation of industrial Ethernet products from Hirschmann. The switches thus become an integral part of applications, such as protection devices. HiOS also offers Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) for the energy sector, where IEC61850 servers can be used to forward diagnostic information directly to control systems. Examples include automotive production and transportation. The Hirschmann switches in the RSP, RSPE, RSPL (Lite), RSPS (Smart) and embedded Ethernet switch (EES) families, like the modular MSP system, are ideally suited to virtually any application that calls for maximum network availability. HiOS was developed specifically to meet the requirements of the automation sector.
HIRSCHMANN SWITCH MANAGEMENT APPLICATION SOFTWARE
The new software equips the RSP switch with the required Layer 3 functionality, turning it into a routing product whose compact housing allows it to be accommodated in the production area. It adds dynamic routing functionality to the relevant MSP hardware versions, guaranteeing system continuity from one product generation to the next. The latest version of the software makes state-of-the-art hardware even more powerful. Using standard technology, HiOS 4.0 provides static routing functionality for RSP switches and dynamic routing functionality for MSP switches, thus ensuring that Layer 3 technology is available throughout the network. With HiOS 4.0, users have access to the widest range of standard functions and special features for the automation sector by far.” Product Manager Mark Cooksley says: “Hirschmann has long been known for its operating system’s unique redundancy and security features that enable it to provide maximum network availability and data security for efficient production processes. The new HiOS 4.0 software is compatible with other routing products from Hirschmann, such as the MACH4000 and MACH1040 industrial Ethernet devices, as well as with products from other manufacturers.
