BRS30-20TX – 20-Port Gigabit Uplink TSN Switch by Hirschmann

The Hirschmann BRS30-20TX is a 20-port managed industrial Ethernet switch from the Hirschmann BOBCAT series, engineered for factory automation, machine building, and process control environments where both a large number of Fast Ethernet device connections and Gigabit uplink bandwidth are required within a single compact DIN Rail unit. It provides 16x 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports, 4x 10/100/1000BASE-TX RJ45 Gigabit ports, and dual Gigabit TX uplinks, all housed in a fanless PC-ABS enclosure operating from 0 to +60°C with IP30 protection and an MTBF of over 2.32 million hours. TSN 802.1Qbv on interfaces 1/1 to 1/3 delivers the deterministic, low-latency communication that modern machine coordination and real-time PLC communication demands. The BRS30-20TX supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 across its full industrial protocol stack, enabling drop-in integration with the widest range of automation control platforms. Redundancy capabilities include HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC 62439-2) as both manager and client, RSTP, Link Aggregation with LACP, and Redundant Network Coupling for continuous network uptime. Security features include 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 efficient commissioning and zero-disruption device replacement on the production floor.
