  • This module allows automation equipment to be extended to include state-of-the-art switch technology
  • The additional network functionality gives the equipment sustained competitive advantages
  • Development process and time-to-market are significantly shortened thanks to Embedded Ethernet


Your Benefits

The Embedded Ethernet EESX20 and EESX30 switches from Hirschmann offer equipment manufacturers a fast and easy way of adding Gigabit Ethernet ports to their automation equipment. They offer additional network functionality, thus a competitive advantage. At the same time, the development process and time-to-market are significantly reduced since the manufacturers no longer need to worry about the sophisticated technology of managed Gigabit switches. Instead, they can concentrate fully on their core capabilities.


Embedded Ethernet EESX20 and EESX30 switches

The Embedded Ethernet EESX20 switch has eight Fast Ethernet ports that can be configured for either 10/100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX. The EESX30 version has an additional two gigabit ports, configurable as 10/100/1000BASE-TX or 100/1000BASE-FX. Both variants offer extensive management and filter functions, plus a variety of redundancy protocols and port security.

The Embedded Ethernet EESX20 and EESX30 switches can be integrated into the Hirschmann network management software Industrial HiVision.


The Embedded Ethernet EESX20 and EESX30 switches from Hirschmann can be used wherever automation equipment needs to be expanded and upgraded to include additional switch functions. They also facilitate space-saving solutions in other areas, such as safety devices in transformer stations, remote terminal units in wind turbines or control equipment in trains.

Product Description

The new Embedded Ethernet EESX20 and EESX30 switches from Hirschmann provide automation equipment that already has an Ethernet interface with the complete functional scope of a managed standalone switch. The EESX20 offers eight Fast Ethernet ports. For high volumes of data and fast transmission, the EESX30 also features two additional Gigabit uplink ports. Since all the functions can be updated via a software update, the Embedded Ethernet switches from Hirschmann offer maximum flexibility and future security.

Both versions are implemented as compact modules and are mounted directly on the main board of the automation equipment. An optional development kit is also available, which enables manufacturers to quickly and easily design any products into their automation equipment.
