The Moxa EDS-408A Series offers rugged, managed 8-port Ethernet switches designed for industrial environments. These entry-level switches combine powerful redundancy, extensive management features, and industrial protocol support for easy integration into automation networks.

With Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain (recovery time < 20 ms at up to 250 switches), plus RSTP/STP support, the switches ensure high network availability. Network segmentation is supported through IGMP snooping, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, port-based VLAN, and GVRP. QoS, RMON, port mirroring, and bandwidth control help optimize traffic and enable proactive monitoring.

Device management is accessible via web browser, CLI, Telnet, serial console, Windows utility, or the ABC-01 module. Models with PROFINET or EtherNet/IP enable seamless integration into control systems, with configuration supported through EDS, AOI, or GSDML files and SIMATIC STEP 7 icons. MXstudio support offers a graphical way to manage and monitor the network.
