Less is more
In the entry-level range (small machinery manufacturing and automation networks), users appreciate the variability and variety which OpenRail products offer without the need for an extensive range of management functions. Now therefore you can get tailored “light” solution: the RS 20 OpenRail Basic Switches.
Sometimes the simplest solution is actually the best one. In practical industrial ETHERNET applications, users are not just looking for high-performance, intelligent power switches. Many also prefer minimal management, and somewhat fewer software functions.
In contrast to the enhanced and professional versions, basic software concentrates on the essentials: management and ring-enabled products at an attractive price, which allow you to create redundant networks and capture diagnostic data from the network. You get as many functions as you need at the most cost-effective price.
Hirschmann has introduced the RS20 OpenRail Basic Switch to meet this need, adding a product with good price-performance ratio at the lower end of the OpenRail range. Hirschmann can now supply a variety of options in the low-managed range based on the familiar Hirschmann OpenRail design. Our user-friendly web configurator helps you quickly find the product you are looking for.
