PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The
104TX
Industrial Network Switch is designed to
solve the most demanding industrial communication
requirements while providing high throughput and
minimum downtime.
The
104TX
provides four RJ-45 auto sensing
10/100BaseTX ports. All ports are full/half duplex
capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching
technology. The
104TX
auto-negotiates the speed
and flow control capabilities of the four TX port
connections, and configures itself automatically.
Since the
104TX
is auto sensing, there will be no need
to make extensive wiring changes if upgrades are made
to the host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O
modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down
automatically to match speci c network environments.
The
104TX
supports up to 2,000 MAC addresses,
enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated
and complex network architectures.
The
104TX
is an ideal candidate for upgrading
existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth
and determinism by virtually eliminating network
collisions. The
N-TRON 104TX
combines affordability
and the plug & play simplicity of the unmanaged hub.
The
104TX
can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the
need to bring data acquisition and control network
connections back to a climate controlled environment.
The
104TX
has extended operating environmental
speci cations 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.
To increase reliability the
104TX
provides dual
redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display
the link status and activity of each port.
