MOXA EDS-516A Introduction
The Moxa EDS-516A managed Ethernet switch is responsible for delivering stable and reliable layer 2 networking for demanding industrial environments. This switch is widely used in Factory Automation systems, Oil and Gas facilities, and Marine networks where continuous data communication and fast fault recovery are essential for operational safety and productivity. As part of the EDS-516A series, the device operates as a managed switch, strengthening core industrial network infrastructure. It supports Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technologies, with recovery times of less than 20 ms across up to 250 switches, along with STP, RSTP, and MSTP, ensuring rapid network healing in the event of link or device failures. With integrated MXstudio support for visualized industrial network management, the Moxa EDS-516A enables engineers to maintain clear network visibility, faster troubleshooting, and consistently effective performance among professional industrial Ethernet switch solutions.
High-Density Fast Ethernet Connectivity for Industrial Devices
The EDS-516A managed switch is equipped with 16 X 10/100BaseT(X) ports using RJ45 connectors, providing ample connectivity for controllers, sensors, HMIs, and industrial PCs. This port configuration simplifies network design by allowing multiple field devices to be connected directly without additional aggregation hardware. In industrial environments where space, wiring simplicity, and reliability matter, these Ethernet interfaces make the managed switch easy to deploy and maintain. The consistent Fast Ethernet performance of the EDS-516A ensures predictable data transmission for automation traffic, reinforcing its role as a dependable component among industrial EDS devices.
Rugged Industrial Design for Long-Term Operation
The EDS-516A features a durable metal housing with an IP30 protection rating that safeguards internal components against mechanical stress. With a weight of 1586 g, the device supports both DIN-rail mounting and wall mounting with an optional kit, allowing flexible installation in control cabinets and industrial enclosures. The operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C ensures stable performance in factory floors, offshore platforms, and marine control rooms. This rugged physical design reflects the industrial-grade engineering expected from Moxa switches and supports long-term reliability in continuously operating environments.
MOXA EDS-516A Certifications
The Moxa EDS-516A managed Ethernet switch complies with a wide range of industrial and regulatory standards, including safety, EMC, EMS, EMI, ATEX, Class I Division 2 Hazardous Locations, DNV-GL maritime, free-fall, shock, and vibration requirements. These certifications confirm that the device is suitable for use in hazardous locations and mission-critical applications where compliance and mechanical robustness are mandatory. By meeting these stringent standards, it reinforces its position as a trusted industrial layer 2 managed switch, delivering reliable performance and regulatory confidence across industrial automation, oil and gas, and marine deployments.
