The EDS-316-MM-ST is an industrial unmanaged Ethernet switch from the brand Moxa, designed for use in demanding environments such as manufacturing plants, plant control systems, or infrastructure projects. It features 16 ports with 10/100BaseT(X) speed and enables reliable network connections without manual configuration. The robust construction and integrated security functions make it a suitable solution for critical applications where stability and reliability are paramount.

Applications
This switch is designed for industrial applications, particularly in environments with high mechanical, thermal, or electrical stress. It is suitable for use in production halls, transportation technology, energy supply, or automation technology. Certification for hazardous areas (ATEX Zone 2, Class I Div. 2) extends its application range in sensitive installations where higher safety requirements apply.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The EDS-316-MM-ST provides 16 RJ45 connections, each supporting 10/100BaseT(X). The ports are equipped with Auto-Negotiation, Auto MDI/MDI-X, and half-/full-duplex support, enabling flexible and easy integration into existing networks. An integrated alarm relay (1 A @ 24 VDC) signals power failure or port disconnection to ensure rapid response to network disruptions. Broadcast Storm Protection safeguards the network against overloads caused by uncontrolled broadcast traffic waves.

Technology Explained Simply
The support for Auto MDI/MDI-X enables automatic detection of connection types, eliminating the need for additional crossover cables. Automatic speed negotiation (Auto-Negotiation) ensures that each port sets the highest possible transmission rate with the connected device. The 100% Burn-In-Test ensures high reliability by testing all devices under realistic operating conditions over an extended period.

Compatibility and Accessories
The switch is compatible with standard and industrial Ethernet networks. As an alternative, the model EDS-316 (unmanaged, 16 ports) is offered, providing the same functions. Installation is done on DIN rail or in a distribution box, enabling flexible installation in various enclosures.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done via DIN rail or in a distribution cabinet. The robust construction and certifications (FCC, UL, CE) ensure safe and standard-compliant installation. Temperature ranges are defined per model: the standard model is designed for -10 to 60 °C, while the -T model is suitable for use at -40 to 75 °C.
