Our product range includes highly optimized and powerful Industrial Ethernet switches, which enable operational safety even under the harshest electromagnetic, climatic and mechanical conditions. Designed and developed for use in factory automation & robotics and for operation in rail & road vehicles, cross-market key technologies of industry 4.0, Mobility 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are bundled into robust and flexible products.
With Industrial Ethernet, the Ethernet standard is used for the connection of devices in industrial production plants. Wherever conventional bus systems reach their limits, for example due to insufficient bandwidth or networking capabilities, Industrial Ethernet-based infrastructures are increasingly used. Industrial Ethernet switches are an integral part of every modern communication link, thanks to their flexibility and performance. Due to the growth of seamless digitalization of production processes, a reliable communication based on a worldwide uniform standard is essential. In the future, Industrial Ethernet will also be used as a vital communication system in vehicle technology.
Industrial image processing is an essential component of the industry 4.0. Power over Ethernet allows the simultaneous transmission of data and energy via the twisted pair cable. This technology enables a seamless integration of image processing systems into industrial production systems in a flexible and cost-optimized manner. This also applies to the modernization and expansion of existing machines and industrial systems. The growing number of sensors and camera systems effectively extends the digital factory model supported by PoE.
In industrial applications, interference factors affect the network and its components, which have a significant impact on reliability, transmission quality and integrity. The risk of disturbances caused by vibrations, dirt, humidity and external electromagnetic influences is particularly high at the terminals, where connectors and devices are interconnected. Robust and resistant housings, outstanding EMC performance, low emitted interference and high interference immunity characterize our products.
Due to the increasing digitalization of the industry, the real and the virtual world are growing together into the Industrial Internet of Things. The decentralization of the installed communication devices and the increasing information transparency through IioT-sensors in the production facilities, are required to gain the needed flexibility. By increasing the efficiency and optimizing the infrastructure, downtimes and production losses can be avoided. Our products meet these challenges and offer reliability and planning security for the industry 4.0.

Current and future market requirements are the focus for our product development and form the basis for efficient customer solutions. The TERZ Industrial Ethernet switches meet the technological and market-specific standards for the required industrial approvals and certifications. A consistently high quality as well as efficient procedures and processes ensure an optimal result. Our customers profit from the cross-application requirements that we place on our products.
The TERZ product range includes Industrial Ethernet Switches with RJ45 and M12 connection technology and M12 Industrial USB Flash Drives. All products are designed for use in industrial automation and for use in vehicles such as passenger trains, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles and ships. In order to make the products as efficient and reliable as possible, great attention is paid on the optimization during development. During the concept phase, the long-term availability, industrial suitability and quality of the components used are ensured.
The M12 USB Flash Drives have been designed and developed for use in continuous operation and can be used in industry and railways thanks to the robust IP65/67 stainless steel housing, superior shock and vibration resistance, high dielectric strength and the extended temperature range. SLC NAND flash and over-provisioning, combined with high-performance wear-leveling and error-correction procedures (ECC), provide increased lifetime of stored data (retention) and longevity of flash memory cells (endurance).
The world's most compact Industrial M12 switches are perfectly suited for use in passenger trains, buses, commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery. Dustproofed and protected against water jets, the TERZ Industrial Ethernet switches save valuable space in control cabinets. With excellent electrical properties (DIN EN 50121-3-2), a dielectric strength of 2.25 kVDC, high shock and vibration resistance (DIN EN 61373) and fire protection according to DIN EN 45545, the NITE-XS comply with DIN EN 50155. Thanks to the extended temperature range and two different frame forwarding / blocking variants (LLDP / PTCP), all applications are optimally supported.
With minimum size and low power consumption, the IP40 Industrial Ethernet switches can be used in harsh industrial environments thanks to the shock and vibration-proofed M12 connection technology. The redundant 24 Volt AC/DC power supply is protected against polarity reversal and works reliably even with undersupply below 10 VDC. The tolerance to voltage dips and the limitation of the inrush current enable a stable operation in all operating conditions. The IP40 variants also meet the requirements for use in trains according to DIN EN 50155 and are also available in two frame forwarding/blocking variants and suitable for PROFINET applications.
With a width of only 22.5 mm and a mounting depth of 75 mm, the Industrial Ethernet switches impress with their extremely slim and high-quality metal housing. The highly optimized plug and play switches are energy efficient and enable an easy and fast commissioning and mounting on the DIN rail. Designed specifically for industrial and IoT applications, the switches support priority-controlled packet forwarding (Quality of Service) for maximum data communication efficiency. The 24 VAC/VDC power supply with reverse polarity protection and inrush current limiting and the extended temperature range from -40°C to +70°C and a dielectric strength of 2.25 kVDC guarantee safe and reliable operation. The NITE-RS switches require the world's smallest installation space in control cabinets including the power connector.
With an installation depth of only 32.5 mm and a height of 105 mm, the Industrial Ethernet switches impress with their extremely flat and high-quality aluminium housing. The ultra-compact switches can be used in any control cabinet thanks to the 24 VAC/VDC power supply with inrush current limiting and reverse polarity protection. Due to the reduced footprint and the arrangement of all connections on the front, switch cabinets and cabling can be optimized to reduce the costs. The high-quality DIN rail holder made of metal ensures a firm and secure hold on the DIN rail. Like all TERZ Industrial Ethernet switches, the flat NITE-RF are available in two frame forwarding variants and fully suitable for PROFINET applications.
The SPARK-XS PoE switches enable the supply of up to 6 devices with power and data. By reducing the connection to just one cable and saving additional power supplies, the cost, installation effort and space requirements can be reduced. The switches operate according to the IEEE standard 802.3at Type 1 as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and supply the connected devices with up to 15.4 watts per port. The retrofitting of existing applications where space is exhausted in the control cabinet, is possible as well as the construction of new installations optimized with a focus on decentralization of the components.
The communication technology installed in modern rail and road vehicles used in public transport and in commercial vehicles is increasingly based on Ethernet. The central element for connecting the data network in the vehicle are Industrial Ethernet switches. Power over Ethernet, maximum data transmission, space-saving design, approvals for use in vehicles and robust housings as well as robust connection technology are required for this application.
