Approvals
FCC Part 15 Class A, UL 1604 C Listed (U.S. & Canada) for Class I, Div. 2 Hazardous Locations, ATEX Zone 2, Category 3G (Ex nC Mark), IEEE 1613 Compliance (Electric Utility Substation), ABS Type Approval (Shipboard), and NEMA TS1/TS2 Compliance (Traffic Control).

The N-View series includes all of the standard features plus N-View Software. Provides extended reporting and configuration capabilities.

N-View OPC Server Software
The N-View software will work with industry standard OPC client software and most popular HMI packages to provide complete remote network traffic and status monitoring. The software can be used to provide meaningful alias names to all ports and help identify the location of the switches and equipment connected to the ports.

The software can be configured to report the status, traffic and error conditions of the network. HMI software packages can use this information in alarming and trending functions.

The N-TRON 500 series, with the -A option, is well suited for connecting Ethernet equipped industrial control applications and comes with advanced Ethernet communication management features, like VLAN, IGMP Snooping, Port Trunking, QoS, and Mirroring. IGMP and query auto detect modes are enabled by default, and key enhancements include multiple router support as well as dynamic router discovery and master/slave redundancy for query detection. Key to the Advanced Models is the built-in management features and N-View OPC Server Software.

Advanced Management Features
Ease of setup means IGMP snooping and query auto-detect modes enabled by default. Along with enhancements like dynamic router discovery and master/slave redundancy for query detection, means seamless formation of IGMP groups across multiple switches. These features will reduce or eliminate additional configuration requirements typically required with other vendors’ switches.
