Technical Overview

The Moxa EDS-516A is a series of 16-port managed Ethernet switches designed for industrial applications. It features advanced network redundancy with Moxa's Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technology, ensuring a recovery time of less than 20 ms for up to 250 switches. The switch supports various management and security features, including web-based management, CLI, Telnet/serial console, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and IEEE 802.1X, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The rugged metal housing with an IP30 rating and DIN-rail mounting capability allows for flexible installation in control cabinets and other industrial settings.

Key Features

Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time < 20 ms @ 250 switches), and STP/RSTP/MSTP for network redundancy.
TACACS+, SNMPv3, IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, and SSH to enhance network security.
Easy network management by web browser, CLI, Telnet/serial console, Windows utility, and ABC-01.
Supports MXstudio for easy, visualized industrial network management.
Port-based VLAN, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, and GVRP to ease network planning.
QoS (IEEE 802.1p/1Q) and TOS/DiffServ to increase determinism.
RMON for proactive and efficient network monitoring.
Supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP protocols for device management and monitoring.

Industrial Applications

1. Factory Automation Network Backbone

In a sprawling factory floor with numerous PLCs, HMIs, and robotic arms, network downtime can halt production instantly. The EDS-516A can be deployed as a central switch in a control cabinet to aggregate data from these devices.

Problem Solved

The switch's Turbo Ring redundancy with a <20ms recovery time ensures that a single point of network failure won't cause a costly production stoppage. Its 16 ports provide ample connectivity for a dense cluster of industrial devices, and the 12-45VDC power input allows it to run on standard industrial power supplies.

2. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Roadside Cabinet

A roadside cabinet for an intelligent transportation system houses traffic controllers, IP cameras, and various sensors. These components require a reliable network connection to a central traffic management center.

Problem Solved

The EDS-516A's 0 to 60°C operating temperature range makes it suitable for deployment in non-climate-controlled roadside cabinets. The IP30-rated metal housing provides protection against dust and limited ingress, while its support for network management protocols allows for remote monitoring and configuration, which is crucial for geographically dispersed assets.

3. Substation Automation Network Aggregation

In an electrical substation, numerous Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) for protection and control need to communicate reliably over an Ethernet network. This data is critical for monitoring the health of the power grid.

Problem Solved

The EDS-516A's support for Modbus TCP allows it to seamlessly integrate into typical substation automation environments. Its redundant dual power inputs (12 to 45 VDC) enhance reliability by allowing connection to both a primary and a backup power source, a critical feature in high-availability power systems. The DIN-rail mounting simplifies installation in standard substation control panels.
