N-View OPC Server and Diagnostic Software Installation & User Guide

The N-TRON TM 405FX Industrial Network Switch is designed to solve the most demanding industrial communications requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime. The 405FX provides four RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports, plus a fiber based Fast Ethernet uplink port. All ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The 405FX auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the 4 TX port connections, and configures itself automatically. The 5th port is a 100BaseFX fiber optic uplink utilizing industry standard ST or SC duplex connectors and is user configurable for full or half duplex operation. Since the 405FX 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 your specific network environment. The 405FX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, thus enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures. The N-TRON 405FX is an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The product also keeps the network affordable, while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of the unmanaged hub. The 405FX can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and control network connections back to a climate controlled environment. The 405FX has extended operating environmental specifications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost savings and convenience the network switch can now be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other Industrial Equipment. A unique feature of the packaging allows horizontal or vertical mounting on the rail, conserving space in the most critical dimension. In addition, as with other DIN-Rail devices, the 405FX can be panel mounted. To increase reliability, the 405FX 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 and any controller detected errors.

N-VIEW OPC PORT MONITORING OPTION

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 configured with the N-View option. N-TRON's N-View OPC Server collects 41 different traffic 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 traffic. OPC client software can use N-View OPC Server data to resolve network problems quickly and improve system reliability.
