THEINDUSTRIALNETWORKCOMPANY The N-TRON 304TX 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 Speci cations Four 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) The 304TX simplifies plant wiring by eliminating the N-View OPC Switch Monitoring Option need to bring data acquisition and control network PRODUCT OVERVIEW connections back to a climate controlled environment. The The 304TX Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet 304TX has extended operating environmental speci cations to and exceed the most demanding industrial communication meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost requirements while providing high throughput and minimum savings and convenience the network switch can be DIN-RAIL downtime. mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment. The 304TX provides four RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX The unique compact size provides a small footprint, ports. All ports are full/half duplex capable, usingstate conserving space in the most critical dimension. of the ar Ethernet switching technology. The 304TX The 304TX can also be panel mounted if desired. auto-negotiates the speed and ow control capabilities of the TX copper port connection, and con gures itself automatically. To increase reliability, the 304TX contains redundant The 304TX is auto sensing, so there will be no need to make power inputs. LED s are provided to display power on/off extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made to host status as well as the link status and activity of each port. computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING (With -N Option Only) match network environments. The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server Software can be combined with popular HMI software The 304TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling packages to add network traf c monitoring, trending and alarm- these products to support extremely sophisticated and ing to any application using N-TRON switches con gured with complex network architectures. the N-View option. N-TRON s N-View OPC Server collects 41 different traf c variables per port and 5 system level variables The 304TX is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs per switch. This information can provide a complete overview and repeaters, in order to provide increased bandwidth and of the network load, service quality, and packet traf c. OPC determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve product provides a cost effective solution while maintaining network problems quickly and improve system reliability. the plug & play simplicity of an unmanaged hub.THEINDUSTRIALNETWORKCOMPANY 304TX SPECIFICATIONS BENEFITS Case Dimensions Industrial Network Switch Height: 3.1 (7.874 cm) Compact Size, Small Footprint Width: 2.0 (5.08 cm) High Reliability/Availability Depth: 3.4 (8.636 cm) Extended Environmental Speci cations Weight: 0.75 lbs (0.3 kg) Ruggedized DIN-RAIL Enclosure High Performance Electrical High MTBF >2M Hours (measured) Input Voltage: 10-30 VDC Input Current: 250 mA 24V Ease of Use Inrush: 8.0Amp/0.6ms 24V Plug & Play Operation 4 Auto Sensing 10/100BaseTX RJ-45 Ports Environmental o o Auto Sensing Duplex, Speed, and Cable Type Operating Temperature: -20 C to 70 C o o Storage Temperature: -40 C to 85 C Unmanaged Operation Operating Humidity: 10% to 95% Compact DIN-RAIL Package (Non Condensing) Operating Altitude: 0 to 10,000 ft.
