PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The
308TX
Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet
and exceed the most demanding industrial communication
requirements while providing high throughput and minimum
downtime.
The
308TX
provides eight RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX
ports. All ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state
of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The
304TX
auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the
TX copper port connection, and configures itself automatically.
The
308TX
is auto sensing, so there will be no need to make
extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made to host
computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The
switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to
match network environments.
The
308TX
supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling
these products to support extremely sophisticated and
complex network architectures.
The
308TX
is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs
and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by vir-
tually eliminating network collisions. The product provides
a cost effective solution while maintaining the plug & play
simplicity of an unmanaged hub.
The
308TX
simplifies plant wiring by eliminating the
need to bring data acquisition and control network
connections back to a climate controlled environment. The
308TX
has extended operating environmental specifications to
meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost
savings and convenience the network switch can be DIN-RAIL
mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment.
The unique compact size provides a small footprint,
conserving space in the most critical dimension.
The
308TX
can also be panel mounted if desired.
To increase reliability, the
308TX
contains redundant
power inputs. LED's are provided to display power on/off
status as well as the link status and activity of each port.
N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING (With -N Option Only)
The
N-TRON
N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC)
Server Software can be combined with popular HMI software
packages to add network traffic monitoring, trending and alarm-
ing to any application using
N-TRON
switches configured with
the N-View option.
N-TRON's
N-View OPC Server collects 41
different traffic variables per port and 5 system level variables
per switch. This information can provide a complete overview
of the network load, service quality, and packet traffic. OPC
client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve
network problems quickly and improve system reliability.
