508FX2 Industrial Ethernet Switch

N-Tron Networking Series

Industrial Ethernet Switch

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FEATURES

trafc on the designated source port using the assigned mirror port.

server software can be used with popular HMI software packages to transmit

operational information from N-View-capable switches. This technology enables

network trafc monitoring, as well as alarm and trending details. In all, the N-View

OPC Server collects 41 different trafc variables per port and ve system level

variables per switch, providing a complete overview of network load, service

quality, and packet trafc. Empowered with N-View OPC Server data, users can

resolve network problems faster and make more informed decisions about overall

system performance.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

performance and ease of use. It is ideally suited for connecting Ethernet-enabled

industrial and/or security equipment and can be optionally congured with advanced

Ethernet communication management functions.

Industrial Packaging and Specications

The 508FX2, designed to operate in industrial environments, is housed in a

rugged DIN-rail-mounted steel enclosure. Optional panel and rack mount kits

are also available. The switch comes standard with extended temperature rating,

extended shock and vibration specs, redundant power inputs, and a high MTBF

(greater than 2M hours).

Ease of Use

The 508FX2 requires no setup unless the advanced port functions are utilized.

The six 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto conguring. Each copper

port automatically negotiates maximum speed and performance by default. The

two ber optic ports support full 200Mb/s communications via 100BaseFX. Bi-color

LEDs are provided to display the link status, link speed and activity of each port

as well as power on/off status.

Performance

The 508FX2 supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses and uses advanced IEEE 802.3

Fast Ethernet 10/100BaseTX switching technology to eliminate network collisions

and increase network determinism. A high-speed processor and backplane allow

full-wire speed capability on all ports simultaneously.
