Industrial Ethernet range gains maritime approval
Several industrial Ethernet switches, transceivers and hubs from Hirschmann Electronics Automation and Network Solutions, have achieved Germanischer Lloyd certification for maritime use.
Switches stand up to industrial networking
The MICE family is a new range of manageable, modular Ethernet and Fast Ethernet industrial switches setting new standards in industrial Ethernet networking.
With an operating temperature range of 0-55C, the compact, DIN-rail mountable R-VIP T is ideal for remote monitoring, traffic assessment, and control and documentation of manufacturing processes.
The R-VIP T supports multicasting, enabling simultaneous video and audio transmission to multiple receivers over the same network.
The new server supports ITU-T standard H.323, enabling full colour, high-resolution (704 x 576pixel) video images to be transmitted at up to 30 images per second, in addition to providing compatibility with video-conferencing systems.
The video stream is available for viewing using either an Internet browser or any networked PAL/NTSC monitor (with supplied decoder software).
The new server can be combined with Hirschmann's video or video/audio transmitters (VIP-V TxC or VIP-AV TxC) and video or video/audio receivers (VIP-V RxC or VIP-AV RxC) to form a completely matched fully integrated video and audio monitoring network.
A transparent bidirectional serial interface (RS232/RS422/RS485) provides a data channel for remote control of external equipment, such as pan-and-tilt camera heads or zoom lenses.
In addition, an alarm input enables an automatic connection to be established between the server and a remote location, based on an external event or trigger; a video ring memory records alarm prehistories up to 5min prior to the alarm.
The R-VIP T, through its included management system, can be configured quickly using a web browser; it also provides the capability for complete remote control of all internal functions via UDP/IP.
The new server is supplied with an integral fast Ethernet interface (10/100Base-T), as well as switching inputs and outputs for external sensors and devices.
The R-VIP T operates at 24V DC, and is fully compliant with industry standards for EMI/RFI.
It is completely compatible with the Hirschmann rail line of industrial Ethernet devices.
Pricing for the R VIP-T Video Server starts at $1740.
Delivery is from stock.
