The EKI-5000 Proview series are the world’s first convergence switches for process control and IT networking management. This series uses Modbus/TCP to communicate with the SCADA software and SNMP to communicate with NMS (Networking Management System) at the same time, thereby allowing full read control over the devices either for control engineers or for IT.
The devices come with the Port-based QoS for deterministic data transmission, which allows the prioritisation of the traffic coming over those ports and the less immediately necessary data over the remaining ports to be delayed. This is especially useful for high bandwidth applications such as video streaming where latency would cause problems. EKI ProView switches use the highest quality components, allowing an operating temperature of between -40°C and +75°C (on selected models) along with level 3 EMS protection to repel electromagnetic interface for industrial resistance.
