The Hirschmann MSP40-20-2A, configurator code MSP40-00200SCY999HHE2A, is a modular full Gigabit Ethernet industrial DIN rail switch from the MSP40 product family, purpose-built for automation engineers and network planners who need flexible, high-density switching with room to scale up to 10 Gbit/s without compromising on reliability or management depth. Manufactured by Hirschmann, a Belden brand with a long heritage in industrial networking, the MSP40-20-2A runs HiOS Layer 2 Advanced software and provides 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports alongside four 2.5 Gigabit ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, all within a fanless design rated for continuous operation from 0 °C to +60 °C on 24 V DC at just 19 W. Switching capabilities are comprehensive, covering QinQ double VLAN tagging, IGMP Snooping and Querier per VLAN for v1/v2/v3, DiffServ classification and policing, Voice VLAN, Jumbo Frames, and full QoS port prioritisation to 802.1D/p. Redundancy is addressed through HIPER-Ring, MRP per IEC 62439-2 as both client and manager, RSTP and MSTP, LACP link aggregation, Sub Ring Manager, and redundant network coupling. Security features include 802.1X port access control, RADIUS, TACACS+, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, time-based ACLs, Secure Boot, and signed firmware images. Industrial protocol support covers PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850. Management is available via HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP v1/v2/v3, SSHv2, CLI, and OPC-UA Server, with SD card and USB interfaces for auto-configuration. Certified to CE, FCC, cUL508, and NEMA TS2, the MSP40-20-2A is suited to factory automation, intelligent transport infrastructure, energy distribution, and process control networks.
