The N-TRON 306TX Industrial Network Switch is designed to solve the most demanding industrial communications requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime. The 306TX provides six RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports. All ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The 306TX auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the TX copper port connection, and configures itself automatically. Since the 306TX is auto sensing, there will be no need to make extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made to the host commputers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to match your specific network environment. The 306TX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, thus enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures. The N-TRON 306TX is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The 306TX also keeps the network affordable, while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of the unmanaged hub. The 306TX can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and control network connections back to a climate controlled environment. The 306TX 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 smaller footprint, conserving space in the most critical dimension. In addition, as with other DIN-RAIL devices, the 306TX can be panel mounted. To increase reliability, the 306TX contains redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display the link status and activity of each port, as well as power on/off status.
