PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The N-TRONTM 305FX Industrial Network Switch is
designed to solve the most demanding industrial
communications requirements while providing high
throughput and minimum downtime.
The 305FX provides four RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX ports, plus a fiber based Fast Ethernet
uplink port. All TX ports are full/half duplex capable,
using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology.
The 305FX auto-negotiates the speed and flow control
capabilities of the four TX port connections, and
configures itself automatically. The 5th port is a
100BaseFX fiber optic uplink utilizing industry
standard ST or SC duplex connectors.
Since the TX ports of the 305FX are 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 305FX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, thus
enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated
and complex network architectures.
The N-TRON 305FX 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 305FX can simplify plant wiring by
eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and
control network connections back to a climate controlled
environment. The 305FX has extended operating
environmental specifications to meet the harsh needs
of the industrial environment. For cost savings and
convenience the 305FX can be DIN-Rail mounted
alongside Ethernet I/O or other industrial equipment.
The unique compact size provides a smaller footprint,
conserving space in the most critical dimension. In
addition, as with other DIN-Rail devices, the 305FX
can be panel mounted.
To increase reliability, the 305FX contains redundant
power inputs. LED's are provided to display the link
status and activity of each port, as well as power on/off
status.
N-VIEW OPC SWITCH MONITORING OPTION
The N-TRON N-V iew OLE for Process Control (OPC)
Server Software can be combined with popular HMI
software packages to add network traffic monitoring,
trending and alarming to any application using N-TRON
switches configured with the N-V iew 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-V iew OPC Server
data to resolve network problems quickly and improve
system reliability.
