Description

Hirschmann BRS20-24TX 24-Port Managed Industrial Ethernet Switch

Part Number 942170-083 | BOBCAT Series | 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 | DIN Rail

Industrial Network Connectivity and Control

The Hirschmann BRS20-24TX (part number 942170-083) is a 24-port managed industrial Fast Ethernet switch for DIN rail installation. Its 24 RJ45 ports provide 10/100BASE-TX connectivity for industrial Ethernet networks. Part of the BRS BOBCAT series, this switch supports real-time communication using Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and combines a fanless design with a PC-ABS housing.

Managed switching, network redundancy, and diagnostic functions help network administrators organize traffic and maintain visibility across connected equipment. VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS) support traffic segmentation and prioritization, while ring redundancy and link backup options support network continuity. The switch operates from two 12–24 V DC power inputs and carries a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Key Features & Benefits

Traffic management: VLANs, QoS, queue shaping, and multicast controls support organized industrial network traffic.
Network redundancy: HIPER-Ring, Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), RSTP, and link aggregation provide options for resilient network design.
Secure administration: HTTPS, SSHv2, SNMPv3, access controls, and configurable user policies support controlled device management.
Fault investigation: Port mirroring, copper cable testing, Syslog, and link monitoring help identify network issues.
Industrial integration: EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, and IEC 61850 profiles support integration with industrial automation systems.
Configuration and replacement: USB-C local management, configuration backups, and automatic rollback support commissioning and service work.

Application Notes

Use the BRS20-24TX to connect Ethernet-enabled equipment in machine control panels and plant automation networks. Its managed functions are useful where multiple devices share a network and maintenance teams need traffic prioritization, port-level diagnostics, and controlled access. The IP30 enclosure and operating temperature range of 0 °C to +60 °C provide clear criteria for selecting an appropriate installation location.

Installation & Commissioning

Confirm the available DIN rail space, supply voltage, ambient conditions, and Ethernet cable lengths before installation. Plan the VLAN, redundancy, and time synchronization settings around the network requirements. Refer to the BOBCAT series manual for mounting, electrical connections, commissioning, and maintenance instructions.
