PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 309FX-N is designed to meet and exceed the most demanding industrial
communication requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime.
The unit provides eight RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports. All ports are
full/half duplex capable, using leading-edge Ethernet switching technology. The
switch auto-negotiates the speed and ow control capabilities of the TX copper
port connection and con gures itself automatically. The ber optic port supports full
200Mb/s communications via 100BaseFX. Bi-color LEDs are provided to display the
link status, speed and activity of each port as well as power on/off status.
The 309FX-N is auto sensing, so there is 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 device supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling these
products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures.
The 309FX-N 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 switch simpli es plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring
data acquisition and control connections back to a climate controlled environment.
The switch has extended operating speci cations to meet the harsh needs of
the industrial environment, including extended temperature rating, extended
shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and a high MTBF (greater
than 2M hours).
For cost savings and convenience, the 309FX-N can be DIN-RAIL mounted
alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment. It can also be panel
mounted. To increase reliability, the 309FX-N 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 ve 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 and improve system reliability.
