Hirschmann Compact OpenRail Switches
The RS20 compact OpenRail managed Ethernet switches can accomodate from 4- to 25-port densities and are available with Fast Ethernet Uplink Ports, All Copper, or 1- to 2-Fiber Ports, or 3-Fiber ports. The fiber ports are available in multimode and/or singlemode. The RS30 compact OpenRail managed Ethernet switches can accomodate from 8- to 24-port densities with 2 Gigabit Ports and 8- 16- or 24- Fast Ethernet Uplink Ports. The RS40 compact OpenRail managed switch has 9 Gigabit ports. The switch offers 5 x 10/100/1000 RJ45 and 4 x 100/1000 RJ45/SFP combo ports (function of one RJ45 combo port is lost for each SFP utilized). Fiber uplink ports are available in multimode and/or singlemode by using Gigabit or 100 Mbit/s SFP transceivers.
Nowadays, efficient production processes are more important than ever in generating strong added value. "Off-the-shelf" products can never be a perfect fit for all customers. That is why Hirschmann developed a web configurator for its OpenRail Ethernet switches in the RS20, RS30 and RS40 series.
The online configurator facilitates the configuration of products to exact customer specifications. Fast Ethernet and Gigabit ports can be individually defined and the customer can select the desired operating temperature range, power supply and industryspecific approvals. There is also a choice of software versions, each containing a range of different management functions and providing support for fast redundancy protocols, security mechanisms and standards such as PROFINET and EtherNet/IP.
In the automation area, the demands made on data communication via Ethernet differ widely from application to application. They range from simple installations to complex, high-performance networks with comprehensive management functions and extremely high failure tolerance. The OpenRail is the perfect switch for every application scenario and is ideal for machine and plant engineering where Ethernet is becoming the communications protocol. In addition, the OpenRail family has the required certifications for power transmission and distribution, oil and gas and transportation applications.
