Hirschmann MAR1040 Industrial Switch

Product Introduction / Overview

The Hirschmann MAR1040 (part of the MACH1040 series) is a high-density, 19-inch rack-mount Managed Full Gigabit Industrial Ethernet Switch engineered for mission-critical industrial applications. Featuring a rugged metal housing and a fanless passive cooling design, the MAR1040 provides up to 16 Gigabit Combo ports (10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 copper or 100/1000Base-FX SFP optical fiber slots).

Designed specifically to meet stringent utility standards such as IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613. the MAR1040 delivers ultra-low latency, sub-10 second boot times, and hardware support for Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588v2). It is widely used as a backbone switch in electrical power substations, transportation systems, military networks, and large-scale manufacturing plants.

Technical Parameter List

Product Features / Core Advantages

Full Gigabit Non-Blocking Architecture: High-density, all-Gigabit switching across 16 combo ports ensures maximum bandwidth without network bottlenecks.

Fanless & Silent Operation: Convection-cooled design eliminates moving parts, dramatically increasing system MTBF and operational lifespan.

Ultra-Fast Redundancy Recovery: Supports Fast HIPER-Ring, MRP (IEC 62439-2), RSTP, and MSTP, yielding network ring recovery times of under 10 ms.

Extreme Substation Hardening: Exceeds IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3 EMI/RFI immunity standards against high-voltage surge and electromagnetic interference.

Sub-10 Second Fast Boot: Restores network connectivity nearly instantaneously after system restart or power interruption.

Environmental Tolerance Conditions

Installation Method

Note: Installation should only be performed by qualified personnel using static safety precautions (ESD protection).

Cabinet Mounting: Install the switch horizontally inside a standard 19-inch control cabinet using 4 mounting screws attached through the integrated front brackets.

Clearance Spacing: Ensure a minimum of 10 cm (3.94 inches) clearance in front of and behind the ventilation grilles for convection cooling.

Grounding: Connect a protective earth wire (min. 1.0 $text{mm}^2$ / AWG16) to the grounding screw located on the back panel before connecting power cables.

Power Wiring: Insert high-voltage or low-voltage power leads into the 3-pin or 2-pin removable plug-in terminal block and tighten terminal screws firmly.

Transceiver Installation: Slide optional Fast/Gigabit SFP transceivers into the lower combo slots until they latch.

Operating Instructions

Power-On Self-Test: Upon energizing the terminal block, check the Device Status LEDs:

P1 / P2 (Power LEDs): Solid green indicates active supply voltage on input feeds.

Fault LED (Signal Contact): Off indicates normal operation; Red indicates a system alarm or link loss trigger.

Port Link Verification: Plug RJ45 copper or fiber SFP patch cords into the active combo ports. Check port LEDs:

Link Status LED: Solid green indicates a valid physical link; blinking green indicates live packet transmission.

Initial Configuration:

IP Assignment: Connect to the network management port and use HiDiscovery or Industrial HiVision to discover the switch and assign an IP address.

Web UI / CLI Management: Open a web browser or SSH terminal session to access the Hirschmann Classic Software interface.

Configuration Backup: Insert a Hirschmann ACA21-USB adapter into the front USB port to save or load switch configuration files automatically.
