Hirschmann Upgrades Mach 3000 Gigabit Ethernet Switch To Improve Network Availability And Simplify Operation



The Mach 3000 Series Modular Gigabit Ethernet Switch with software version 2.20, from Hirschmann Electronics Inc., Automation and Network Solutions, has integrated Hirschmann's HIPER Ring concept to improve its redundancy mechanisms. The new software also adds new quality of service functions, as well as automatic configuration of the modules.

The Mach 3000 allows high-availability backbone structures to be connected to rail switch rings via its fast redundancy mechanisms (<500msec.), offering wire-speed switching, with up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 160 Fast Ethernet ports, with a total bandwidth up to 40 Gbits. The Mach 3000 Series' modular design offers system engineers flexibility in both capacity and cost, with true plug and play automated configuration.

Available as the Mach 3002, with two slots, and the Mach 3005, with five, the system makes use of a modular sub-unit that provides switching, intelligent data switching and independent agent operations as basic functions. Each additional basic module also works as a redundant unit, with up to two (Mach 3002) or five (Mach 3005) basic modules per switch.

The Mach 3000's new software offers additional quality of service functions, such as MAC address-based data prioritization, with which complex data streams are managed more easily and with greater security. The software supports automatic configuration for low maintenance and simplified commissioning.

The Mach 3000 offers a scalable, modular package to help reduce per-port prices while achieving optimum interruption security, making it ideal for integrated high availability data networks in industrial environments.

Pricing for a Mach 3002 begins at $11,630.00 each. Delivery is from stock.
