PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 316TX-N switch is designed to meet and exceed the
most demanding industrial communication requirements
while providing high throughput and minimum downtime.
The 316TX-N provides sixteen 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 fl ow control capabilities of the
TX copper port connection, and confi gures itself automatically.
Bi-color LEDs are provided to display the link status, speed
and activity of each port as well as power on/off status.
The 316TX-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 316TX-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 316TX-N simplifi 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 specifi 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 316TX-N can
be DIN-RAIL mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other
Industrial Equipment. It can also be panel mounted.
To increase reliability, the 316TX-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 traffic monitoring,
trending and alarming to any application using N-TRON
switches confi gured with the N-View option. N-TRON 's
N-View OPC Server collects 41 different traffi 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 traffi c. OPC client software
can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve network
problems quickly and improve system reliability.
