EtherDevice switch EDS-518A series

April 2007 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

EDS-518A is a standalone 18-port managed Ethernet switch that provides two combo gigabit ports with built-in RJ45 or SFP ports for gigabit optic communication. The gigabit Ethernet Redundant Turbo Ring (recovery time <300 ms) increases the reliability and speed of your network backbone. EDS-518A also supports intelligent network management functions, including QoS, IGMP Snooping/GMRP, VLAN, Port Trunking, SNMP V1/V2c/V3, IEEE 802.1X, and https/SSL.

Ethernet has become the default data communications medium for industrial automation applications. In fact, it is not uncommon for video, voice and high-rate industrial application data transfers to be integrated into one network. The Moxa EDS-518A, which comes equipped with a redundant Gigabit Ethernet protocol called Gigabit Turbo Ring, gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable Gigabit Ethernet network. With Gigabit Turbo Ring, if any segment of the network is disconnected, your automation system will be back to normal in under 300 ms.
