Manageable Industrial Ethernet Switch 8 Ports EKI-5528I-MB

Network Monitoring via Modbus TCP

The EKI-5528I-MB-AE is an industrial managed switch equipped with 8 x 10/100 Mbps ports, optimized for transparent infrastructure monitoring. Thanks to the default activation of the Modbus TCP protocol, it communicates directly with SCADA software, providing critical diagnostics on power and port status. This functionality allows for effective preventive maintenance by identifying network anomalies before they cause a production stoppage.

Reliability and Electrical Continuity

This product integrates X-Ring redundancy technology, ensuring a switchover to a backup link in less than 20ms to keep the data flow active. It supports a very flexible input voltage range of 8.4 to 52.8 VDC, making it compatible with a multitude of industrial power sources. Quality of Service (QoS) management allows for prioritizing control flows to avoid any bottlenecks during data traffic peaks.

Durable Design and IXM

The EKI-5528I-MB-AE is housed in an IP30 metal enclosure capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C. The integrated IXM function greatly facilitates the work of field teams by allowing for bulk configuration and simplified firmware updates. Its compact design for DIN-rail mounting and high resistance to vibration make it a reliable central element for any demanding industrial communication network.
