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
308TX auto-negotiates the speed and ow control capabilities of the TX copper
port connection, and con gures 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 virtually eliminating network collisions.
The product provides a cost effective solution while maintaining the plug & play
simplicity of an unmanaged hub.
The 308TX simpli es 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 speci 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 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 traf c monitoring,
trending and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches con gured with the
N-View option. N-TRON's N-View OPC Server collects 41 different traf 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 traf c. OPC client
software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly
