NovaTech Automation is excited to announce the release of the Hermes 2000 series of utility-grade Layer 2 Ethernet switches.

The paper describes how, with a SOPC (System on a Programmable Chip) architecture embedded with a 32-Bit NIOS-II, a Layer 2 Ethernet switch can be implemented in a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) ...

In the home or office, the Ethernet switch functions as a central station connecting computers, printers and every other wired device to each other. The switch is also wired to the router and ...

Cisco’s Catalyst C1300-8MGP-2X enterprise-class Ethernet switch manages small and medium-sized networks at speeds up to 10Gb.

The switches themselves can be operated in zone 2, while their 100 Mbit/s optical ports connect field devices, such as the Ethernet-enabled IS1+ remote I/O system in zone 1. With the Scalance XC-200 ...

Network switches come in two different flavors: managed, where you have some interface to configure and monitor the equipment, and unmanaged where the device just does what it is supposed to do ...
