Advantech BB-305FX

The N-TRON® 305FX is an unmanaged five port Industrial Ethernet Switch. It is housed in a ruggedized DIN-RAIL enclosure, and is designed for use in industrial data acquisition, control, and Ethernet I/O applications.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The 305FX Industrial Network Switch is designed to meet and exceed the most demanding industrial communication requirements while providing high throughput and minimum downtime.

The 305FX provides four RJ-45 auto sensing 10/100BaseTX ports, plus a fiber based Fast Ethernet uplink port. All TX ports are full/half duplex capable, using "state of the art" Ethernet switching technology. The 305FX auto-negotiates the speed and flow control capabilities of the four TX port connections, and configures itself automatically. The fiber optic port utilizes industry standard ST or SC duplex connectors and is configured for full duplex operation. Both multimode and singlemode fiber models are available.

The TX ports of the 305FX are auto sensing, so there will be no need to make extensive wiring changes due to future upgrades of host computers, plant systems, or Ethernet I/O modules. The switching fabric simply scales up or down automatically to match network environments.

The 305FX supports up to 4,000 MAC addresses, enabling these products to support extremely sophisticated and complex network architectures.

The 305FXis an ideal candidate for upgrading existing hubs and repeaters to increase bandwidth and determinism by virtually eliminating network collisions. The product provides a cost effective solution while maintaining the plug & play simplicity of an unmanaged hub.

The 305FX can simplify plant wiring by eliminating the need to bring data acquisition and control network con- nections back to a climate controlled environment. The 305FX has extended operating environmental speci fications to meet the harsh needs of the industrial environment. For cost savings and convenience the 305FX can be DIN-Rail mounted alongside Ethernet I/O or other industrial equipment.

The unique compact size provides a small footprint, conserving space in the most critical dimension. The 305FX can also be panel mounted if desired.

To increase reliability, the 305FX includes redundant power inputs. LED's are provided to display the link status and activity of each port, as well as power on/off status.
