HiOS Switch Software

The HiOS software from Hirschmann increases the performance of its industrial Ethernet switches. Complete with an embedded OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) server, the software provides a brand agnostic and future-proof solution as industrial automation moves towards industry 4.0. As with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) capabilities and configuration templates, manufacturers can easily and cost-effectively transmit critical and non-critical data on the same network.

Features & Benefits

  • Future Proof: Built-in OPC UA server provides a brand-agnostic communication bridge between all levels of the automation architecture
  • Security: Comprehensive security functionality to help you secure your networks
  • Integrated into macmon NAC: effective and flexible control over access to your network
  • Deterministic Communication: TSN functionality for RSPE 35/37 and BOBCAT products, as well as OCTOPUS II devices with FPGA
  • IT/OT Convergence: Office and industrial management protocols to facilitate the integration of IT and OT networks

Software Level Functionality More Info
Layer 2 Standard Suitable for BOBCAT, RSP, RSPE, RED, GREYHOUND and OCTOPUS series In addition to numerous IPv4 and IPv6 management and diagnostic options, HiOS provides precise time synchronization compliant with IEEE 1588v2, plus a variety of redundancy protocols. With zero switchover times, the PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High-Availability Seamless Redundancy) methods ensure smooth production processes. Comprehensive security mechanisms protect your network against attacks and operating errors, also contributing to high network availability. TSN for RSPE35, RSPE37, BRS and OCTOPUS with FPGA.Online Catalog
