Edge-to-core industrial Ethernet solutions

December 2011 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Moxa’s wide portfolio of industrial Ethernet infrastructure solutions has become even more comprehensive with the addition of the new ICS industrial core switch family. The ICS series joins a suite of powerful edge-to-core switches and the MXview industrial network management software (iNMS) to create advanced industrial Ethernet platforms with excellent scalability, performance, reliability and ease of maintenance.

Moxa’s industrial edge-to-core Ethernet switch solutions have the high performance needed for the core layer of the network infrastructure plus the flexible media selection needed for the edge layer.

The Moxa switch portfolio now includes over 500 models, including the ICS series 10GbE core switches, the IKS and EDS-700/800 series modular rackmount and DIN-Rail distribution switches, the EDS-600/500/400/300/200 series DIN-Rail edge switches, and the TN and PT series industry-specific Ethernet switches. All of these switches are built specifically to operate within the harsh environments and exacting requirements of mission-critical industrial applications such as railway, ITS, smart grid, oil and gas, factory automation and maritime applications. Moxa’s MXview iNMS enables total network management with simple, user-friendly browser UI that can track the network status of all Moxa managed Ethernet switches in real-time, quickly identify failure points, and reduce troubleshooting response time in complex and critical network operations.

The new ICS series industrial core switch family enables customers to deploy a high-capacity converged automation network with extreme 10GbE performance, network resilience and fanless durability. These core switches extend carrier-level availability throughout the entire industrial network to provide a stable multiservice backbone that can support a large amount of Ethernet-based services such as video, voice, command and data transmissions.

Benefits of Moxa’s edge-to-core industrial Ethernet switch solutions:

* Ultra-reliable fast network redundancy across three layers of an industrial network with Turbo Ring/Turbo Chain self-healing Ethernet technology.

* Faster communication speed and quicker network response with Gigabit performance.

* Complete solutions support converged applications such as video surveillance.

* Industrial-grade reliability, completely fanless, with industrial certification and approvals.

Core layer - high bandwidth 10GbE industrial core switches:

* Full Gigabit L2/L3 networking capability.

* Up to 24 or 48 1GbE connections.

* Up to 4 10GbE ports.

Distribution layer – industrial modular rack mount and DIN-rail switches:

* Flexible modular design.

* High port density.

* Ideal for control room and outdoor cabinet operations.

Edge layer compact, standalone DIN-rail switches:

* Five to 19 ports, FE to full GE, managed and unmanaged switches.

* Cost-effective solutions.

* Advanced L2 networking capability.
