"The SDS-3008 Ethernet switch captivates with its functional and structurally sophisticated design that guarantees a high level of flexibility," says the jury of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2018. The award and the statement doubly confirm that our switch's user-oriented design allows AI engineers and automation machine manufacturers to make their networks compatible with the vision of Industry 4.0.
The smart switch simplifies daily tasks thanks to its quick installation and easy setup. Furthermore, it can be monitored and is easy to maintain throughout its lifespan.
"When we designed our smart switch, we wanted to ensure it was intuitive and user-friendly. Our market research revealed that when a network upgrade is needed, the most common concerns for engineers are the limited space available in control cabinets and the time spent learning how to manage the switch," says Jack Lin, Product Manager for Moxa's Industrial Ethernet Infrastructure division.
"That's why we developed the smart switch. The smart switch's 3-2-1 design supports the functions required by AI engineers and automation machine manufacturers without requiring them to possess IT-based network management skills. We believe the smart switch is an ideal solution for the manufacturing industry, especially for machine manufacturers moving towards the IIoT and Industry 4.0. While we are delighted with the awards our smart switches have received from internationally recognized organizations, what truly tells us how useful our switches are to the industry are the positive reviews from our customers."
The 3-2-1 design feature of the smart switch
• Three protocols in one device The smart switches support the industrial protocols Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus/TCP, and can be configured with a single click via the intelligent user interface.
• Two centimeters wide with DIN rail and rack mounting options Moxa smart switches have a compact size that allows them to fit in virtually any control cabinet and support both DIN rail and rack mounting.
• One-page information panel Our SDS-3008 series features an intelligent user interface with a graphical function menu and a one-page information panel, making it easy to clearly view the switch's operating status.
