Impulse Embedded now supplies the new Moxa EDS-4000 and G4000 series of Industrial Ethernet Switches. Systems integrators are now able to develop futureproof industrial networks that bolster operational resilience in industrial applications such as power, factory automation, transportation, rail, smart cities, ITS and marine.
The new EDS-(G)4000 series of industrial Din-Rail mounted switches is the next step in modernising the company's industrial Ethernet Range. Sixty-eight different models provide eight to 14 ports and support a comprehensive range of network speeds up to 2.5Gbit/s network bandwidth. Optional features comprise PoE and support various forms of communication media, including Ethernet, SFP, multi-mode and single-mode fibre. AC and DC input versions have a wide operating temperature range of up to -40C to +75C.
Designed with cyber security in mind, the devices offer the world's first ISA/IEC 62443-4-2 compliant networking range, ensuring that the switches are cyber secure in design and function.
The compact DIN-Rail switches have been created with a flexible, removable design that allows the user to rotate the power inputs between vertical and front-facing settings. Combined with its compact size allowing for space-restricted installations, this modular power design provides for easy replacement of the power unit in the event of failure without removing the complete device.
MX-NOS is its secure network operating system that provides a comprehensive selection of device management features. It utilises an intuitive HTML5-based web UI for consistent cross-device usability and harmonious integration with other Moxa software suites like MXview, enabling users to quickly and effectively monitor and visualise their industrial network topology and devices.
