THEINDUSTRIALNETWORKCOMPANY 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 Speci cations 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) The 308TX simplifies plant wiring by eliminating the N-View OPC Switch Monitoring Option need to bring data acquisition and control network connections back to a climate controlled environment. The PRODUCT OVERVIEW 308TX has extended operating environmental speci cations to The 308TX Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost and exceed the most demanding industrial communication savings and convenience the network switch can be DIN-RAIL requirements while providing high throughput and minimum mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment. downtime. The unique compact size provides a small footprint, The 308TX provides eight RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX conserving space in the most critical dimension. ports. All ports are full/half duplex capable, usingstate The 308TX can also be panel mounted if desired. of the ar Ethernet switching technology. The 304TX auto-negotiates the speed and ow control capabilities of the To increase reliability, the 308TX contains redundant TX copper port connection, and con gures itself automatically. power inputs. LED s are provided to display power on/off The 308TX is auto sensing, so there will be no need to make status as well as the link status and activity of each port. extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made to host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING (With -N Option Only) switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) match network environments. Server Software can be combined with popular HMI software packages to add network traf c monitoring, trending and alarm- The 308TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling ing to any application using N-TRON switches con gured with these products to support extremely sophisticated and the N-View option.
