In today's modern age, industrial automation has become an essential aspect of our industry. The need for efficient and reliable networks to support the increasing demands of industrial applications has become more critical than ever before. Hirschmann, a leading provider of industrial networking solutions, has introduced their latest range of building automation switches designed to cater to the needs of industrial automation.

One of the key benefits of the Hirschmann building automation switches is the power over ethernet unit (PoE). For example, the 942 307-003, BAS22-8TX-HV-55 unmanaged, 8x 10/100BASE TX/RJ45 with PoE, 55W total power budget, can provide communication and power, allowing devices such as IP base sensors, access points, and VoIP phones to be powered and connected via a single cable. This switch also has a built-in AC power supply unit (PSU), which helps to save costs and simplify installation as you do not need a separate PSU, which adds additional cost and time. This simplifies installation and reduces the amount of cabling required, which can be a significant cost-saving factor.

Hirschmann building automation switches are known for their robustness and durability. They are designed to operate in harsh and challenging environments, such as extreme temperatures, high humidity, and electromagnetic interference. This reliability ensures that building systems can continue functioning despite adverse conditions, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Moreover, Hirschmann building automation switches are designed to meet the growing energy efficiency and sustainability demand by providing ethernet communication for data that could include sensors, energy consumption, and usage. Building operators can make informed decisions about energy management and optimisation, reducing waste and lowering costs.

In conclusion, communications are an essential component of modern building systems. Hirschmann building automation switches provide reliable and efficient communication between devices and systems. With PoE capabilities, robustness, flexibility, scalability, time, and cost savings, Hirschmann Building Automation Switches are an ideal solution for many automation applications. Whether you're looking to retrofit an existing building or design a new automation system from scratch, Hirschmann switches are a great option. View here
