BRS30-12TX – 12-Port Gigabit Uplink TSN Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BRS30-12TX is a 12-port managed industrial Ethernet switch from the Hirschmann BOBCAT series, built to deliver greater port density and Gigabit uplink bandwidth for industrial networks that have outgrown basic 10-port Fast Ethernet architectures. It provides 8x 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports, 4x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 ports, and dual Gigabit TX uplinks — all in a compact, fanless DIN Rail enclosure that fits standard industrial control cabinet installations. Weighing only 700 g and operating from 0 to +60°C with an MTBF of over 3.07 million hours, the BRS30-12TX is engineered for long-term, maintenance-light deployment in manufacturing, process control, and industrial automation environments. TSN 802.1Qbv on interfaces 1/1 to 1/3 provides the deterministic, low-latency communication that time-sensitive control systems and real-time machine coordination demand. Industrial protocol support covers PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850, ensuring compatibility with the widest range of PLCs, DCS platforms, and SCADA systems. Redundancy options include HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC 62439-2) as both manager and client, RSTP, Link Aggregation with LACP, and Redundant Network Coupling. Security features encompass 802.1X port-based access control, RADIUS, VLAN-based ACLs, Secure Boot, signed firmware, and DoS prevention. USB-C local management and AutoConfiguration Adapter support enable rapid commissioning and seamless device replacement without network disruption.
