Hirschmann Backbone with 10Gigabit Ethernet Switches
Data Communication NetworkIndustrial Ethernet MACH4000 Gigabit Backbone Layer 2/3 Rack-Mount Switches
The new MACH Gigabit switches and routers are available in various versions: either simply as a Layer 2 Switch (L2P), additionally with static routing (L3E) or in a dynamic routing version with multicast routing (L3P). Each with a choice of power supply and individually populated with the appropriate modules. Through appropriate cascading, the Gigabit ETHERNET successors of the MACH 3005 can be configured as compact systems with high port density.
Applications
On the one hand, Industrial ETHERNET is becoming increasingly important in factory and process automation, where optimum interaction among production areas via the HIPER-Ring protocol and redundant coupling is essential. And, on the other hand, also in transportation automation, such as on ships, in locks and waterways, in tunnels or for video monitoring. In short: in all transportation applications where extremely fast switching is required for convergent networks, i. e. combinations of voice, data and video via HIPER-Ring. As robust backbone switches and routers, the new MACH 4000 family assures maximum performance, optimum reliability and costeffective port prices in industrial networks. Perfectly packaged in a compact, industrial-grade chassis that can be expanded with a variety of media modules for specific requirements.
