Moxa EDS-405A/and EDS-408A-PN ethernet switches

The Moxa EDS-405A/and EDS-408A-PN from Madison Technologies are 5- and 8-port managed ethernet switches. With embedded PROFINET, the PN switches can be easily integrated into the Simatic Step 7 engineering tool. It is more convenient for automation engineers to configure through Step 7 and monitor with automation HMIs.

The EDS-405A/408A-PN switches with fast booting, Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain fast-recovery technology can optimise PROFINET network performance. Moxa’s PROFINET switches also support a variety of useful management functions, such as IGMP snooping, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, QoS, port mirroring, SNMP, bandwidth management and warning by email or relay.

Features include: command line interface (CLI) for quickly configuring major managed functions; IPv6 Ready logo awarded (IPv6 Logo Committee certified); DHCP Option 82 for IP address assignment with different policies; support EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP protocols for device management and monitoring; PROFINET v2 conformance class B, GSD (General Station Description) v2, and Simatic Step 7 device icons are available; Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time <20 ms at 250 switches), and RSTP/STP for network redundancy; IGMP snooping and GMRP for filtering multicast traffic; port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and GVRP to ease network planning; QoS (IEEE 802.1p and TOS/DiffServ) to increase determinism; RMON for efficient network monitoring and proactive capability; SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for different levels of network management security; bandwidth management to prevent unpredictable network status; and port mirroring for online debugging.
