Moxa EDS-405A and EDS-408A-PN managed ethernet switches with Profinet

The Moxa EDS-405A and EDS-408A-PN are 5- and 8-port managed ethernet switches with Profinet enabled. With embedded Profinet, the PN switches can be easily integrated into the Simatic Step 7 engineering tool, making it more convenient for automation engineers to configure through Step 7 and monitor with automation HMIs.

The EDS-405A/408A-PN switches with fast booting, Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain fast-recovery technology can help to optimise Profinet network performance. Moxa’s Profinet switches also support a variety of useful management functions, such as IGMP snooping, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, QoS, port mirroring, SNMP, bandwidth management and warning by email or relay.

The switches are IPv6 Logo Committee certified and also offer DHCP Option 82 for IP address assignment with different policies. They conform to Profinet v2 class B, GSD (General Station Description) v2 and Simatic Step 7 device icons are available. EtherNet/IP and Modbus/TCP protocols for device management and monitoring are also supported.

There is a command line interface for quickly configuring major managed function, and port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and GVRP are available to ease network planning.
