509FX-A Industrial Ethernet Switch

N-Tron Networking Series

Unmanaged Industrial Ethernet Switch

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT FEATURES

The 509FX-Aoffers several management functions that can be easily congured

using the COM Port (DB 9 connector located on the right side of the switch).

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 509FX, 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 509FX requires no setup unless the advanced port functions are utilized. The

eight 10/100BaseTX ports are auto sensing and auto conguring. Each copper port

automatically negotiates for maximum speed and performance by default. The ber

optic port supports 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 509FX 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.
