Executive Summary and Core Capabilities
The Moxa EDS-G508E series delivers high-density Gigabit routing to keep automation loops uninterrupted. Built to satisfy strict heavy-industrial EMC regulations (EN 61000-6-2/6-4 and IEC 61000-4 EMS standards), the switch eliminates packet dropouts and signal interference in heavy industrial setups.
- Heavy-Duty EMC Noise Resistance: Built to withstand severe electrical noise, ESD surges up to , and continuous electromagnetic fields.
- Industrial Protocol Integration: Supports EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP for easy monitoring inside SCADA and PLC diagnostic environments.
- IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Baseline: Integrates port-based security, RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, IEEE 802.1X, and HTTPS/SSH encrypted management.
The switch features eight Gigabit 10/100/1000BaseT (X) copper RJ45 ports housed in a rugged IP30 metal casing. It incorporates dual redundant terminal block power inputs accepting wide ranges () alongside built-in alarm relay contacts to trigger physical sirens or PLC inputs upon link failure.
System backups are made simple using the USB Type-A port, which interfaces directly with the optional ABC-02-USB configurator for rapid zero-laptop field replacements.
