Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the MM2-4TX1 compatible with the HIRSCHMANN MS20 and MS30 chassis?
A: Yes. The MM2-4TX1 is designed for the MICE modular platform and is slot-compatible with MS20, MS30, and other MICE-series chassis. Verify slot type (TX/FX) before ordering.
Q: Can this module be used in a ring topology for redundancy?
A: Yes. When managed via a MICE management module supporting HiPER-Ring or RSTP, ring topologies with sub-300 ms recovery are achievable.
Q: What is the maximum cable length per TX port?
A: Up to 100 m per IEEE 802.3 specification using Cat5e or better UTP/STP cable.
Q: Is PROFINET IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) supported?
A: The MM2-4TX1 supports PROFINET RT. IRT requires a PROFINET IRT-capable switch; consult HIRSCHMANN’s PROFINET product line for IRT applications.
Q: Do you provide HIRSCHMANN firmware or configuration software?
A: HIRSCHMANN Industrial HiVision and the free Web-based management interface are available from Belden/HIRSCHMANN. We can advise on configuration best practices — contact our technical team.
