N-TRON 900B Data Sheet
The N-TRON
THE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK COMPANY
Switch offers outstanding performance, ease of use,
and fl exible expansion options. It is ideally suited
for connecting Ethernet enabled industrial equipment
such as PLC's, Industrial PC's, Ethernet I/O and Data
Acquisition Equipment. The N-TRON 900B Modular
Industrial Ethernet Switch is built to operate reliably
in industrial applications
® 900B Modular Industrial Ethernet

Flexibility
Mix and match fi ber ports with twisted pair ports.
Three module slots are available for the installation
of 900 Series expansion modules providing maximum
fl exibility . Up to 24 twisted pair 10/100BaseTX or 12
100BaseFX fi ber ports can be installed with multiple
combinations available in between. Any expansion
module can be installed in any slot.
Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations
The 900B is designed to operate in industrial
environments. It is housed in a rugged steel enclosure
and standard 35mm DIN-RAIL mounting. An
Optional kit is available for rackmount applications.
Like all N-TRON products, the 900B comes standard
with extended temperature ratings, extended shock
and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and a
high MTBF.
Ease of Use
The 900B is a plug and play device. No confi guration
is required. All 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing
and auto confi guring. Each port is automatically set for
maximum speed and performance. In addition, each
twisted pair port has an Auto MDIX feature, eliminating
the need for crossover cables. LED's are provided to
display the link status and activity of each port as well
as power on/off status.
Performance
The 900B uses "state of the art" Ethernet switching
technology. This eliminates network collisions and
increases network determinism. Up to 12,000 MAC
addresses (4,000 per module) are supported enabling
sophisticated and complex network architectures. A
backplane speed of 2.6 Gb/s allows full wire speed
capability on all ports simultaneously.
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 traffi c monitoring,
trending and alarming to any application using N-TRON
switches confi gured with the N-V iew option. N-TRON's
N-V iew OPC Server collects 41 different traffi c 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 traffi c. OPC
client software can use N-View OPC Server data to
resolve network problems quickly and improve system
reliability.
