The Hirschmann line of networking devices manages virtually every communication connection requirement among the various layers of the network: information, control and device. There are products that support both copper and optical fiber media, with data speeds as high as 10 Gigabits per second.
The Hirschmann brand represents experience and expertise in automation technology, developed since pioneering the development of Ethernet as a common standard for industry networks. Today, Hirschmann products will ensure hassle-free and secure data communication under the toughest conditions. The high transmission speeds and large bandwidths ensure the fastest possible processing of large amounts of data.
Key benefits include:
- Central switch and network management software allows for the integration of network monitoring and reporting to SCADA systems.
- Factory settings can be preset to exact customer specifications for instant plug and play.
- Switches can be tailored to match customer needs with number and type of ports, port speeds (10 MBps to 10 Gbps), industry and environmental approval ratings, etc.
- Hirschmann provides several options for device replacement which help lower the Mean Time to Replace (MTTR).
- Industrial profiles in the switch management allow for seamless integration into Siemens or Rockwell control software.
- Standard intuitive interfaces provide the same look-and-feel to all Hirschmann hardware for intuitive and simplified operation.
The Hirschmann Industrial Ethernet line includes the products listed below by application. A descriptive overview of each product follows.
