Industrial Ethernet for Maritime Application

Maritime & Offshore

The Widest Range of Marine Grade Solutions for Maritime Automation
Maritime environments need network devices that possess marine certifications to ensure that they are safe and rugged enough to operate in demanding maritime applications. Any network devices that hope to operate successfully in harsh marine environments must overcome temperature, humidity, vibration, and EMC hazards must be overcome. Maritime certifications, including DNV/GL/ABS/LR/NK approvals, have confirmed that Moxa's industrial Ethernet switches are ideal solutions in demanding shipboard and offshore applications. Redundancy is also a critical component of maritime automation, and Moxa's managed Ethernet switches offer reliable network redundancy and Gigabit performance to form a dependable Gigabit networking infrastructure that delivers fast, real-time performance.

Network Architecture

Network Requirements

	Network devices certified for maritime use
	To be acceptable for maritime applications, network devices need to pass rigorous marine certification tests conducted by global maritime classification societies such as Det Norske Veritas, Germanischer Lloyd, American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyds Register, and Nippon Kaiji Kyoka. This verifies that they possess the higher level of reliability and security required for use in shipboard and offshore applications.

	Rugged hardware design that withstands humidity, temperature, vibration, and electromagnetic hazards

	Due to the harsh environments of maritime applications, devices should be able to perform in high humidity, extreme temperatures, environments with high vibration, and electromagnetic interference on a level consistent with the EN 60945 maritime navigation and radio-communication equipment and systems standard.

	Gigabit bandwidth for real-time network traffic
	With the growing emphasis on the safety and efficiency of daily marine operations, ships are increasingly deploying security surveillance applications such as IP video surveillance systems and precision software management systems. A Gigabit Ethernet backbone is needed to provide the bandwidth necessary to support these data-rich video, voice, and management applications.

	Redundant network communication system ensures high data availability
	Reliable network communications are required in maritime applications. A redundant network system eliminates single points of failure, and allows the network to self-heal from equipment failures without system interruptions or data loss.

Moxa Solutions

	DNV/GL/ABS/LR/NK-rated industrial Ethernet switch solutions
	Moxa's industrial Ethernet switch solutions have been verified to succeed in hazardous maritime and offshore applications by achieving strict DNV/GL/ABS/LR/NK marine certifications.

	Industrial-grade ruggedness overcomes extreme environmental adversitys
	Moxa's industrial Ethernet switches offer an array of features that can confront any harsh environmental challenges. These features include: EN 60945 EMC/EMI/ESD certification Wide operating temperature of -40 to 75˚C Excellent MTBF (mean time between failures) Built-in fiber for shielding against electrical interference and remote connections Two power inputs for stable power redundancy Fanless design Solid 5-year warranty

	Rich Gigabit Ethernet solutions enable high levels of data transmission
	Moxa's Gigabit managed Ethernet switches (such as the EDS-728, EDS-619, EDS-510A, and EDS-518A) can form a Gigabit backbone to satisfy the constant and growing demand for high-bandwidth, real-time video, voice, and data communications.

	Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technology for reliable network redundancy
	To ensure uninterrupted system operations for marine applications, Moxa's managed Ethernet switches come equipped with reliable network redundancy provided by Turbo Ring and Turbo Chain technology (recovery time < 20 ms). Turbo Ring supports multiple ring functions, such as ring coupling, dual homing, and dual ring, and Turbo Chain simplifies the creation of multiple complex redundant networks.
