Advantech ProView SCADA manageable switches

The ProView range of SCADA manageable switches uses Modbus/TCP to communicate with the SCADA software and SNMP to communicate with the NMS (network management system) at the same time, thereby allowing full read control over the devices either for control engineers or for IT. There are initially eight models in the ProView series: the EKI-5525/I and EKI-5528/I are 5- and 8-port 100 Mbps switches and the EKI-5725/I and EKI-5728/I are 5-and 8-port gigabit switches.

ProView series Ethernet switches with the port-based QoS VIP port for deterministic data transmission allow the priority ports to prioritise the traffic coming over those ports and delay the less immediately necessary data over the remaining ports. This is especially useful for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming where latency would cause problems.

These switches have an operating temperature of between -40 and 75°C along with Level 3 EMS protection.
