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 spaces aving solutions in other areas, such as safety devices in transformer stations, remote terminal units in wind turbines or control equipment in trains.

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.
