Hirschmann Industrial HiVision 7.1 switch management software

The latest version of Hirschmann’s network management software, Industrial HiVision 7.1, improves functionality with the addition of features for PoE detection and management, as well as added support for configuring emerging technologies such as TSN.

In many industrial facilities, Ethernet networks are growing and changing quickly, and it is increasingly difficult to manage and secure them while fault-finding efficiently with precision.

The latest version makes it easier to control and act on factors that impact the network as a whole. These include a graphical history display, which provides comprehensive graphical indicators of fault events, as well as easy configuration of time-sensitive networking (TSN) systems with MultiConfig.

The enhanced capabilities of Industrial HiVision 7.1 allow industrial manufacturers to optimise the use of available power with the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Wizard. The IIoT is driving smaller and smaller devices typically powered by PoE. As a result, fewer switches are required to meet needs and less energy is wasted, leading to a lower total cost of ownership. Hundreds of SNMP-enabled industrial devices can be configured simultaneously, from any manufacturer, both during commissioning and live operation.
