Up to 4 Gigabit Ports for Backbone and Uplink
As industry adopts bandwidth-hungry applications such as video
surveillance, there is a greater need for high bandwidth and fault-
tolerant solutions with Gigabit Ethernet equipment. Demand is
growing for applications in industrial networks that comprise multiple,
interconnected Gigabit backbones among different network centers.
Moxa offers a range of Gigabit managed Ethernet solutions that can
be used to form a Gigabit backbone that connects to control centers,
video-over-IP servers, Ethernet-enabled devices, or other Ethernet
switches. These Gigabit Ethernet switches support fault-tolerant rings
with fiber-optic ports, allowing operation in the toughest industrial
environments.
Gigabit Ethernet is the trend, and we can already see a lot of work
stations, HMI/SCADA equipment, and video monitoring panels in
control rooms that come standard with a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Moxa’s modular rackmount Ethernet switches come with up to 4
Gigabit combo ports for the PT-7728/7828 series. Other modular
Ethernet switches include the managed PT-7710 Ethernet switch, the
IKS-6726 Ethernet switch, the smart PT-7324 Ethernet switch, and the
unmanaged IKS-6324 Ethernet switch, all of which support 2 Gigabit
combo ports. Any combination of twisted pair and fiber optic ports can
be chosen to form a redundant Gigabit Turbo Ring or connected to a
Gigabit HMI/SCADA in the control room.
The IKS-6726-PoE switch comes standard with up to 16
10/100BaseT(X) PoE ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, making it
suitable for applications such as power facility security, where up to 16
IP cameras or IO sensors can be connected to a single IKS-6726-PoE
rackmount switch. Gigabit Ethernet and fiber optic ports are supported
to secure remote, high bandwidth transmission to the control center.
The unique combination of dual redundant power supplies, -40 to
75°C operating temperature range, and Moxa Turbo Ring redundancy
ensures high network availability if a link or device fails.

Future-proof Flexibility
The rugged design of the PowerTrans PT and IKS series Ethernet
switches make them well-qualified for a diverse number of mission-
critical communication applications in the power utility and
transportation automation markets.

IEC 61850-3
IEC 61850-3 specifically addresses immunity from certain
environmental conditions and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
for communication networks and systems in substations. The EMI

immunity requirements are based on IEC 61000-6-5, which establishes
performance criteria for key functions within the substation. To be
compliant with the standard, critical functions, such as protection relay
Media Configuration Flexibility
The PT and IKS series of modular Ethernet switches supports different
numbers of Gigabit and fast Ethernet interface modules, which allow
users to choose from a variety of copper/fiber media combinations.
The modular design benefits users in three ways:
Higher flexibility for system design and fast network changes•
Easy maintenance and lower cost of spare parts•
Reduced cost of future upgrade•
Cabling Flexibility
Moxa’s rackmount Ethernet switches provide two options of cabling
direction. Front cabling is ideal for maintenance, whereas rear cabling
is neater and results in an arrangement that is safer in the event that a
cable gets disconnected.
