Moxa PowerTrans PT-7528 series ethernet switches with MMS data modelling

Moxa has announced the PowerTrans PT-7528 series - ethernet switches designed to fulfill IEC 61850-90-4 requirements and equipped with built-in MMS servers. The series is suitable for power substation automation applications in extremely harsh environments.

Taking advantage of the company’s Noise Guard technology, the series is not only compliant with IEC 61850 standards, but also has an EMC immunity that exceeds IEEE 1613 Class 2 standards to ensure zero packet loss while transmitting at wire speed. The series also features critical packet prioritisation (GOOSE, SMVs and PTP), a built-in MMS server and a configuration wizard designed specifically for substation automation. With Gigabit Ethernet, redundant ring and 110/220 VDC/VAC isolated redundant power supplies, the series increases the reliability of communications and saves cabling/wiring costs.

The series includes a wide range of models to provide multi-type port configurations. The modular design makes network planning easy and allows flexibility by letting the user install up to four modular fibre ports and 24 fixed 10/100BaseT(X) RJ45 ports. Along with the optional front or rear wiring, these features make the product suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
