Hirschmann MSP30 Layer 3 switch

The Hirschmann MSP30 Layer 3 switch offers extensive routing functions and enables communication between physically separated networks. The managed rail switch also supports a wide range of security functions and guarantees all-around protection for the network to ensure maximum productivity for connected systems and machines at all times.

The switch’s combination of extensive routing and security functions is said to make it a powerful alternative for DIN rail industrial ethernet systems. Due to PoE+ support, terminal equipment can be powered cost effectively straight from the data line, eliminating the need for additional power supply units or extra cables.

The Layer 3 switch supports standard redundancy protocols, allowing users to segment networks into subrings, further enhancing its availability. Due to the device’s ruggedised design, the Layer 3 is suitable for use in harsh conditions near the shop floor where it facilitates direct routing to other production floors without the need for a backbone router.

The modular design of the Layer 3 switch provides users with flexibility for both current and future requirements without replacing the entire switch. Also, modules from other switches in the MSP30 family can also be used in the new routing variant.
