PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 304TX Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet
and exceed the most demanding industrial communication
requirements while providing high throughput and minimum
downtime.
The 304TX 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 304TX auto-
negotiates the speed and fl ow control capabilities of the TX
copper port connection, and confi gures itself automatically.
The 304TX 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 304TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling
these products to support extremely sophisticated and
complex network architectures.
The 304TX is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs
and repeaters, in order to provide increased bandwidth and
determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The
product provides a cost effective solution while maintaining
the plug & play simplicity of an unmanaged hub.
The 304TX simplifi es plant wiring by eliminating the need
to bring data acquisition and control network connections
back to a climate controlled environment. The 304TX has
extended operating environmental specifi cations 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 304TX can also be
panel mounted if desired.
To increase reliability, the 304TX 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 traffi c monitoring, trending and
alarming to any application using N-TRON switches
confi gured with the N-View option. N-TRON's N-View
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.
