708FX2-SC Overview
Rapid Spanning Tree
This function allows the switch to be confi gured in a ring or mesh topology, and provides support for redundant path communications with high-speed (rapid) healing.
Remote Monitoring Options
For ease of configuration and monitoring, the 708FX2 offers web browser management and N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) server software. The N-TRON N-View software can be combined with popular HMI software packages to add network traffi c monitoring, trending, and alarming to any application using N-TRON switches. In addition SNMP is available for switch link and status monitoring. The Alarm Contact and Status LED can be confi gured to respond to power failure on power input 1 or input 2, N-Ring Broken, Partial Break High, Partial Break Low, or if multiple ring managers are detected.
N-Ring Technology
The switch's ring manager, using N-TRON's N-Ring technology, offers expanded ring size capacity, detailed fault diagnostics, and a standard healing time of ~30ms. The 708FX2 ring manager periodically checks the health of the ring via packets. If the ring manager stops receiving these health check packets, it converts the Ring to a linear bus topology within ~30ms. When all switches in the ring are N-TRON fully managed switches, a detailed ring map and fault location chart will also be provided on the ring manager’s web browser and OPC server to identfy the health status of the ring. N-Link allows the linking of two N-Rings. Up to 250 fully managed N-TRON switches can participate in N-Ring topologies.
Industrial Packaging and Specifi cations
The 708FX2 is designed to operate in industrial environments. It is housed in a rugged steel DIN-Rail enclosure. It has extended industrial specifications and features to meet or exceed the operating parameters of the connected equipment. These include extended temperature ratings, extended shock and vibrations specs, redundant power inputs, and high MTBF (greater than 2M hours).
Ease of Use
The 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto configuring. Each copper port is automatically negotiated for maximum speed and performance by default, but can also be hard coded using the user interface. A high-speed processor allows wire speed capability on all 100BaseTX ports simultaneously.
