Belden Expands Industrial Connectivity Portfolio

Hirschmann GREYHOUND GRS2000 Low-Voltage

The GREYHOUND2000 is built for demanding mission-critical applications, including energy and other high-uptime environments. Its latest iteration is now available with a single or redundant low-voltage power supply. This new capability includes the ability to power network equipment straight from the existing low-voltage DC rail that already runs in substation, trackside, or process-site applications, with no separate converter required. It also provides a straightforward migration path from the Hirschmann MACH1000 and GRS 1020/30 families.

Hirschmann IT MTS 2608/2708 Switches Now Available in the Americas & EMEA

Hirschmann IT MTS 2608/2708 switches are designed to help unify IT/OT networks with equipment from a single manufacturer, so integration is smoother and operations stay manageable. These devices provide high-speed backhaul via four dedicated 1/10G SFP+ slots, a rarity for cost-effective 8-port switches. They also promote increased network resilience thanks to support for ERPS (G.8032) ring network protocols, ensuring rapid link recovery and uninterrupted communication.

ProSoft 8-Channel HART Gateway

HART instruments generate valuable process and diagnostic data—but too often, teams still have to pull it manually or add more gateways than they want just to get visibility. The PLX51-HART-8I connects up to 64 HART devices across 8 isolated channels to bring data into PLCs or SCADA systems over EtherNet/IP or Modbus while keeping panel complexity under control and reducing gateway count and footprint. The gateway features dual Ethernet ports and Device-Level-Ring (DLR) support, as well as faster integration with auto-generated L5X files for Rockwell Automation ControlLogix and CompactLogix.

Belden Wireless Orchestration Software Controller

Belden Wireless Orchestration brings every Belden access point under one software controller, giving teams a single dashboard and a more consistent way to manage enterprise and industrial access points across environments with unified policies and a single view of the network. It scales through tiered licensing (from 50 to 1,000 access points) and supports VRRP high availability so the controller doesn’t become a single point of failure. Additional capabilities include zero-touch provisioning and automated firmware updates. Stronger security and uptime are enabled with built-in wIDS/wIPS and VRRP active/passive high availability.

Belden LioN-X IO-Link Analog Hubs

LioN-X IO-Link Analog Hubs are built to bring existing analog sensors—temperature, vibration, pressure, and more—into an IO-Link network without swapping the sensors themselves. With 4 configurable analog ports plus 8 digital inputs on the same compact device, mixed signal types can be consolidated right at the machine edge. The hubs are powered directly over IO-Link, with no additional power supply connection required.
