HiOS – Hirschmann Operating System

HiOS is the latest operating system for the new

generation of Industrial Ethernet devices, combining

comprehensive functionality with extensive certified

security. HiOS is a single operating system running

on a wide range of hardware, from field devices to

backbone routers. This ensures a consistent user

experience across the complete network, with a

shallow learning curve and reduced operational effort.

Configuration via web interface, command line and

SNMP meets the requirements of all administrators.

Regular updates ensure that the software offers state

of-the-art functionality into the future.

Classic Switch Software

Classic Switch Software has led the way in the

specialist field of Industrial Ethernet. Since the mid

2000s, customers have deployed Hirschmann

hardware running Classic software to build highly

resilient OT networks from the edge to the core. As

the forerunner of HiOS, Classic introduced innovations

such as rapid redundancy, management through

industrial protocols, and fast device replacement.

Hirschmann embedded software is developed in-house and

offers intuitive and familiar interfaces which appeal to both

automation engineers and IT specialists.

Extremely easy configuration ensures rapid network deployment

at minimum cost.

HiEOS – Hirschmann Entry Operating System

As automation expands and industrial networks grow

in complexity, easy-to-use network management

technology that supports streamlined configuration

and remote diagnostics is vital. The advanced HiEOS

software runs on LEMUR lite managed switches, which

are optimal for use in many industrial environments.

With the HiEOS intuitive graphical user interface,

switch setup and maintenance are easy – with little

IT intervention or knowledge required. Also, HiEOS

provides a rich feature set, including PoE/PoE+ support

and device management.

HiOS Switch Software –Hirschmann Operating System

Increases the power and performance of managed

Hirschmann industrial Ethernet switches

Real-Time Communication and Advanced Industrial Security

Today’s robust and high-performance operations benefit from the Industrial Internet

of Things (IIoT) by connecting their devices through a centralized, local cloud. The

Hirschmann BOBCAT Switch is the first of its kind to enable real-time communication

using TSN. Industrial applications require this capability to maximize performance

and security, especially when under demanding conditions.

To effectively support the increasing real-time communication requirements in

industrial settings, a strong Ethernet network backbone is essential. This compact

managed switch allows for expanded bandwidth capabilities by adjusting your SFPs

from 1 to 2.5 Gigabit – requiring no change to the appliance.

Enhanced network security is another critical component of any future-facing

network. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switch supports HiOS software and features

several compelling security elements, including:

•   IEEE 802.1x port-based access control

•   Varying privilege levels

•   Configurable password policies

•   Security status monitor

•   Audit trail

These capabilities deliver more network reliability to reduce latency and ensure an

uninterrupted production process.

Applications

The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switch is an ideal solution for classic automation

applications that require real-time communication, low latency, and the simultaneous

synchronization of data and information to control operations. The appliance is best

for engineers, system integrators and machine builders looking for a powerful and

future-proof device.

Markets

This compact managed switch is an essential appliance relevant to many industrial

markets, including automotive, manufacturing, machine building, water management,

security, consumer packaged goods, and oil and gas. The Hirschmann BOBCAT Switch

is also applicable to the transportation and power and energy industries, helping to

deliver critical real-time information, like deterministic signaling and energy flow.

Networking Architecture of DAC Private Cloud Platform

The WiFi solution of DAC private cloud platform is built on the basis of AP clustering technology with innovative

“unsubstantial AC networking architecture” on the lower end, the upper end is the configuration management

mechanism of the highly reliable private cloud infrastructure platform based on Docker container technology.

Under the DAC system, customers need to predefine the deployment location and the number of APs required

for their wireless network according to their own wireless network scale requirements. After the APs are

deployed and activated with power according to the wireless planning results, the APs will automatically

complete registration on the private cloud platform through a common DHCP process and a dedicated secure

channel, and appear under the customer’s designated administrator account, awaiting further configuration and

management actions. Customers do not feel a significant difference between the (private) cloud management

model and the local management model throughout the wireless network deployment and operation process,

and the experience is inherited and fully user-friendly.

This design architecture maximizes both the usability and reliability of the wireless network, which we hope will

provide our customers with the ability to deploy WiFi wireless networks everywhere.
