Ethernet Switch has extended temperature range.
Press Release Summary:
Suited for hostile applications with temperatures from -40° to +75°C, EISX9-100T segments Ethernet LAN into nine collision domains, bridging data links to produce large network diameter. Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 or 100 Mbps and controls data flow with PAUSE function in full duplex or backpressure mode in half-duplex. Switch learns port assignments by reading Ethernet frames and logging source addresses on table, which can hold 2048 addresses.
Original Press Release:
Contemporary Controls Announces New Industrial Ethernet Switch for Extended Temperature Range
Downers Grove, Illinois (February 14, 2003)-The EISX9-100T Industrial Ethernet switch, now a part of the CTRLink® family, is very effective for hostile applications with temperatures ranging from -40° to +75°C.
The EISX9-100T segments the Ethernet LAN into nine collision domains, acting as a "bridge" between data links to produce a larger network diameter than is possible with repeating hubs. Each port automatically negotiates its data rate to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and controls data flow with the PAUSE function in full-duplex or the backpressure mode in half-duplex.
The switch learns port assignments by reading Ethernet frames and logging source addresses on a table, which can hold 2048 addresses. With this information, it enhances throughput by restricting traffic to only those ports party to a data exchange. Other data can be simultaneously interchanged on other ports. The store-and-forward process is implemented and broadcast, multicast, or unicast transmissions are received by all ports.
In addition to the power LED, each port has an LED indicating link/activity/data rate by
color: green for 100 Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps.
Other features of the EISX9-100T include mounting on TS35 DIN-rail, operating from a wide-range of low-voltage AC or DC power sources and offering redundant power connections.
The company offers a free guide "10 Issues to Consider Before Installing Industrial Ethernet" as well as an Ethernet installers' slide chart, which packs all of the most important information about Ethernet into a handy pocket reference. Both are available free; for copies, just email your street address to info@ccontrols.com or call +1(630)963-7070.
