24+4G-port Gigabit managed Ethernet switches

July 2017 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Moxa’s EDS-528E series is a standalone, compact 28-port managed Ethernet switch that provides four combo Gigabit ports with built-in RJ45 or SFP slots for Gigabit fibre-optic communication. The 24 fast Ethernet ports with a variety of copper and fibre port combinations gives the EDS-528E series greater flexibility for designing networks and applications. The Ethernet redundant Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, and MSTP increase the system reliability and availability of the network backbone and the EDS-528E also supports advanced management and security features.

In addition, the series is designed especially for harsh industrial environments with limited installation space and high protection level requirements, such as maritime, rail wayside, oil and gas, factory automation and process automation. Other features and benefits include:

• TACACS+, SNMPv3, IEEE 802.1x, HTTPS, and SSH to enhance network security.

• IEC 62443-4-2 compliant.

• EtherNet/IP, Profinet and Modbus/TCP protocols supported for device management and monitoring.

• Comprehensive fibre status monitoring and warning on MST/MSC/SSC/SFP fibre ports.

• Supports MXstudio for easy, visualised industrial network management.

• V-On ensures millisecond-level multicast data and video network recovery.
