Module with the functional scope of a standalone switch
Belden has added the new managed Embedded Ethernet switches EES 20 and EES 25 to its Hirschmann™ product range. These switches provide automation devices that possess Ethernet interfaces the complete functional scope of a standalone switch. The EES 20 and EES 25 each has six Fast Ethernet ports that can be configured for either 10/100 BASE TX or 100 BASE FX. They also offer extensive management and filter functions plus a variety of redundancy methods and port security. In addition, the EES 25 supports precision synchronization as per IEEE 1588v2 plus PRP (parallel redundancy protocol), which guarantees uninterrupted data communications. This function range can be extended by updating the software, which means that these two Embedded Ethernet switches offer maximum flexibility plus a guaranteed future. Manufacturers of automation equipment no longer need to concern themselves with switching technology and can instead focus on their own core strengths, thus minimizing development risks. An evaluation kit is also available to assist manufacturers at the design-in stage.

Redundancy with zero switchover time
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product program to include Ethernet switches from the new RSP family. These are especially designed for use in the field-level networks of power supply companies, but they also can be used in any situation where uninterrupted communication is required, for instance for mechanical engineering projects or drives for production facilities. These extremely robust fanless switches have eleven ports, three of which can be used for SFP transceivers. These support Fast (100 BASE-FX) or – optionally – Gigabit Ethernet (100/1000 BASE-FX). The remaining eight ports can be used either for 100 BASE-TX or as a combination of four SFP transceivers and four TX ports. Additional features of these switches include comprehensive management, diagnostic and filter functions plus a variety of redundancy methods and markedly expanded security mechanisms. In addition to the standard configuration, Hirschmann™ also offers a version that supports highly precise synchronization compliant with IEEE 1588v2, plus PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy). This means that, for the first time, it is now possible to implement networks that guarantee uninterrupted data communications with the attached systems and can thus – in the case of the electricity supply industry – guarantee reliable power supplies to end customers at all times.
