Belden’s EESX20 and EESX30 managed Hirschmann embedded Ethernet switches (EES) are claimed to allow automation devices to be quickly and reliably equipped with gigabit switch technology.
The EESX20 and EESX30 switches can be mounted on the main circuit board of automation devices with an Ethernet interface. In addition, by eliminating the need to worry about challenging switch technology, both development processes and time to market are reduced, allowing manufacturers to concentrate on core capabilities.
The switches offer a range of performance features, including: eight Fast Ethernet ports (EESX20) and two additional gigabit uplinks (EESX30); extensive management functions, combined with the industrial HiVision network management software, allow for convenient start-up and diagnostics; fast redundancy procedures, as well as port and cyber security.
