The Moxa EDS-518A is a compact, managed industrial Ethernet switch that brings dependable Gigabit uplinks to Fast-Ethernet field networks. It combines 16 copper 10/100Base-T(X) ports with two combo Gigabit uplink interfaces (RJ45 or SFP), giving you flexible backhaul options to the control room or between distribution panels. Designed for mission-critical systems, the switch supports Moxa Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain with recovery times under 20 ms, and also includes standards-based RSTP/STP/MSTP so you can blend vendor-specific performance with open interoperability. Security and manageability are first-class: HTTPS/SSH, IEEE 802.1X, TACACS+, RADIUS, SNMPv3, port lock, and broadcast-storm protection help safeguard operations. Network planning is simplified with port-based and IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, quality of service prioritisation (IEEE 802.1p/ToS), bandwidth management, and RMON for proactive monitoring. Administrators can configure and maintain the switch via web UI, CLI, Telnet/serial console, Windows utilities, or the ABC-01 automatic backup configurator for fast field replacement. Industrial power and packaging are built in. The EDS-518A uses an IP30 metal enclosure with DIN-rail or optional wall mounting, dual 24 VDC redundant power inputs with reverse polarity and overload protection, and alarm relay output for event notification. Operating from -10 to 60 °C, it’s well suited to enclosed factory cabinets, machinery cells, utilities substations, and building automation closets. For protocol compatibility, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP facilitate integration with PLCs, drives, and SCADA hosts, while PROFINET transparency ensures predictable control traffic. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy Fast-Ethernet plant network or segmenting new production lines, the EDS-518A provides a reliable, secure, and easy-to-manage switching core with Gigabit headroom for growth.

Our customer was looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability, and reduce operation costs and overheads for their manufacturing facility. The initial step in this transformation was to add additional monitoring and measurements to several areas of their facility to allow the collection of usage data from older machinery for analysis. The machinery to be analysed would be located in many areas of the complex, with some sitting in concrete outbuildings far from the source of the main network.
