308TX

THE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK COMPANY The N-TRON® 308TX is an unmanaged four port Industrial Ethernet Switch. It is housed in a ruggedized DIN-RAIL enclosure, and is designed for use in industrial data acquisition, control, and Ethernet I/O applications. PRODUCT FEATURES • • • • • • • • • • • Compact Size, Small Footprint Full IEEE 802.3 and 1613 Compliance NEMA TS1/TS2 Compliance American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Type Approval Extended Environmental Specifications Eight 10/100 BaseTX RJ-45 Ports Supports Full/Half Duplex Operation LED Link/Activity Status Indication Store-and-forward Technology Auto Senses Speed and Flow Control MDIX Auto Cable Sensing (RJ-45) • Up to 1.0 Gb/s Maximum Throughput • Rugged Industrial DIN-RAIL Enclosure • Redundant Power Inputs (10-30 VDC) • N-View™ OPC Switch Monitoring Option 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 304TX auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the TX copper port connection, and configures 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 simplifies 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 specifications 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 traffic monitoring, trending and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches configured with the N-View 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-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly and improve system reliability. THE INDUSTRIAL NETWORK COMPANY 308TX SPECIFICATIONS BENEFITS Case Dimensions Height: Width: Depth: Weight: Industrial Network Switch 3.5" 2.0" 3.4" 0.75 lbs (8.8 cm) (5.1 cm) (8.6 cm) (0.34 kg) Electrical Input Voltage: Input Current: Inrush: Operating Altitude: Ease of Use -20oC to 70oC -40oC to 85oC 10% to 95% (Non Condensing) 0 to 10,000 ft.
