PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The N-TRON
®
104TX Industrial Network Switch is
designed to solve the most demanding industrial
communications requirements while providing high
throughput and minimum downtime.
The 104TX provides four RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX ports. All ports are full/half duplex
capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching
technology. The 104TX auto-negotiates the speed
and flow control capabilities of the four TX port
connections, and configures itself automatically.
Since the 104TX is auto sensing, there will be no need
to make extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made
to the host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O
modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or
down automatically to match your specific network
environment.
The 104TX supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,
thus enabling these products to support extremely
sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The N-TRON 104TX is an ideal candidate for
upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase
bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating
network collisions. The product also keeps the network
affordable, while maintaining the plug & play
simplicity of the unmanaged hub.
The 104TX can simplify plant wiring by eliminating
the need to bring data acquisition and control network
connections back to a climate controlled environment.
The 104TX 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.
To increase reliability the 104TX provides dual
redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display
the link status and activity of each port.
