Withstands any loads
Wherever reliable, intelligent and efficient data transmission has to be guaranteed under extreme conditions, the OCTOPUS family is at home: Not only at the field level, in factory and process automation, but also in trains or on board ships.
The relevant industrial standards, unites the advantages of the robust IP 67 design with those of the managed Hirschmann switches. The OCTOPUS 8/16/24 have the intelligence and all functional characteristics of the modular MICE series and can therefore be implemented in a mixed environment of modular devices, permanently installed Rail Switches and open mounted IP 67 switches.
Product features:
- Standardized 4-pin-M12-D technology for the connection of terminating equipment
- Totally encapsulated design
- Management via SNMP v1, v2, v3, Web GUI or TELNET
- Support for autoconfiguration adapter
- Redundancy mechanisms such as Rapid Spanning Tree and HIPER-Ring
- Access check according to IEEE 802.1X
- Filter possibilities per port
- Flow control with prioritization and traffic shaping
- Fast commissioning according to the plug & play principle
- Redundant power supply for high availability
- LED display for device and network status
- External signalling of alarms via signal contact
- Compatible with PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP etc.
Due to their compact design, the products of the OCTOPUS family can be mounted either on the wall or directly on the machine. The IP 67 variants of the proven manageable Hirschmann switches have either 8/16/24 twisted pair ports, designed in standardized 4-pin-M12-D technology.
Since the switches can be cascaded as you whish, networks with a distributed structure and short transmission distances to the terminating equipment can be implemented. Optionally the 16 and 24 port versions are available with 2 uplink ports 100BASE-FX (microFX).
Regardless of whether it needs to withstand great mechanical stress, moisture and condensation, dirt, dust or vibrations – the OCTOPUS family is always able to monitor a HIPER-Ring and send status messages to the central management, for example.
