Fiber Ring Managers forRedundant Media Applications.

12

The cost of a dual redundant fiber ring network will be greatly reduced by implementing various N-TRONproducts to create the ring. As shown above, the 600 Series switch serves as the Ring Manager. The RingManager sends out health check packets periodically around the counter rotating ring. If these packets are successfully routed around the ring within 50ms, the ring is declared to be intact. However, if the Ring Managerdoes not receive these packets within 50ms, it times out, declares a fault, and closes its fault contact whichallows it to perform as a standard switch in a fiber backbone configuration. Each switch will reconfigure its MACaddress table based on the new traffic routing paths. Using 306FX2 and 508FX2 switches in the ring as shown,will greatly reduce overall system costs.

Dual Redundant Fiber Ring

13

Star

14

The star is the most efficient network topology for data acquisition and control systems. Because the MTBF ofan N-TRON industrial switch is in excess of 2M hours, the likelihood of a switch failure, or media failure is remote.All N-TRON switches offer dual power supply inputs to eliminate the possibility of a single power supply failurebringing the network down. The star topology also allows for the utilization of lower cost layer 2 switches andan order of magnitude speed improvement over ring topology. The star topology can easily be implemented withfiber and/or copper. This network is simple to maintain and troubleshoot. The N-View option will add remotemonitoring capability to your control system network. The N-View OPC Server, when combined with any standard OPC client HMI software package, will provide full network monitoring and alarming capability. N-Viewis available on our 200, 300, 400, 500, 900, and 9000 Series switches.

Tree

15

The tree topology is a combination of several switches to form a single network. This topology provides the mostefficient method of interconnecting multiple control systems. This diagram highlights the Internet GroupManagement Protocol (IGMP). IGMP is frequently used by control systems to route multicast packets for communication between control devices. The routing of the IGMP multicast packets is essential to prevent multicast traffic from adversely affecting upstream network devices such as routers, wireless accesspoints, RS232/485 to Ethernet converters, or any other network device which can not transmit or process packets at full wire speed. This feature allows the IGMP capable switches to forward multicast packets basedon learned group addresses. Each switch will transmit copies of a specific multicast message only to ports thathave joined that multicast group. These addresses are learned by detecting group join packets sent by devices connected to the switch without the need of an expensive router.

Backbone

16

The backbone topology is the connection of multiple star networks in series. This configuration allows the useof multiple switches over the length of the process area. The Backbone implementation can be realized witheither fiber or copper media. The Trunking option added to the Backbone topology will improve bandwidth andadd media redundancy between each switch. Trunking enables multiple physical ports to be linked together andfunction as one aggregate high speed link to another Trunking capable switch configured in the same manner.This feature provides increased bandwidth and media redundancy to applications requiring high levels of fault tolerant operation.

Ring and Mesh Topology is required for many applications. The N-TRON 9000 Series switch combines all theadvanced functions found on the 500 Series Switches with capabilities found on standard commercial switches.These functions include two Gigabit fiber ports, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), RemoteMonitoring (RMON), and WEB Browser Control. The 9000 Series Switches will also run Rapid Spanning TreeProtocol (RSTP), IEEE 802.1W. Standard layer two switches connected in a loop will cause the network to beoverloaded and fail due to endlessly circulating broadcast and multicast packets in the loop (know as broadcaststorm). RSTP is used to allow switches to be connected in multiple loops know as Mesh Topology. Switchesusing Spanning Tree will calculate the optimum path through the Mesh to all other nodes in the network andwill block all other paths to prevent message packets from circulating. RSTP uses Bridge Protocol Data UnitPackets (BPDU) to detect and calculate optimum paths in the network. If any active connection fails, SpanningTree will recalculate a new optimum route through the network for all nodes using the BPDU packets. The time required to reform the network is about 1-2 seconds using RSTP.

N-TRON Advanced Management FeaturesSeveral advanced management features are offeredas an optional item on the 500-A Series, and as astandard item on the 9000 Series Switches. The 500-A Switches are configured using the serialCOM port, and the 9000 Switches are configuredusing a Web Browser, Telnet or COM port.

IGMP Snooping - Internet Group ManagementProtocol is a feature that allows the IGMP capableswitches to forward multicast traffic based onlearned group addresses. IGMP and query autodetect modes are enabled by default, and keyenhancements include dynamic router discoveryand master/slave redundancy for query detection.These features allow for the automatic detection of bi-directional router ports needed for the seamlessformation of IGMP groups across multiple switchesin an N-TRON network, and will reduce or eliminatethe Command Line Interface switch configurationrequirements for most Ethernet control networks.

VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network allows the segmentation of the switch in order to create two ormore separate or overlapping local area networkdomains.The Industrial Ethernet switches with the advanced management features, can be setup for IEEE802.1Q dynamic tagged VLAN, or pre-determined port VLAN.

QoS - The Quality of Service feature providesprioritization of network traffic in order to providebetter network service. The primary goal of QoS isto improve the latency of prioritized Ethernetpackets required for ring management, real-time and other interactive applications.

Trunking - Also know as link aggregation, enablesmultiple physical ports to be linked together andfunction as one uplink to another Trunking capableswitch configured in the same manner. The Trunkingfeature will increase the bandwidth between twoswitches and will also provide media redundancy.

Port Mirroring - This function allows the traffic onone port to be duplicated and sent to a designatedmirror port. Port mirroring can be used to monitorEthernet traffic on the designated source port usingthe assigned mirror port.

Port Control - N-TRON Switch ports may beindividually configured for full or half duplex, 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s, and can be enabled or disabled.

Rapid Spanning Tree - This feature permits the9000 Series switches to be configured in a Ring orMesh topology, and provides support for redundantpath communications with rapid healing.

N-View OPC Server Software

N-View Switch Firmware

N-TRON Switches with the N-View firmware upgrade (partnumbers with -A or -N extensions) will autocast a smallEthernet packet periodically containing a port-by-port statusof the switch. This informationincludes 5 switch level datapoints and 41 data points perport. This data is captured bythe N-View OPC ServerSoftware and can be displayedby application software runningin the same Windows environment with OPC Client capability.22

The N-TRON N-View OLE for Process Control (OPC) Server Software will work with industry standard OPCClient software and most popular Human Machine Interface (HMI) packages to provide complete remote network traffic and status monitoring for N-TRON 200, 300, 400, 500, and 900 Series Industrial Switches withthe N-View Firmware option. N-View is also available as a standard feature on all 9000 Series Switches.

The N-View OPC Server in combination with one or more of our industrial switches will add complete networkvisibility to an HMI Control and Monitoring application.

Ease of Use

The N-TRON N-View Software includes the OPCServer and a configuration and monitoring software utility. This utility will automatically searchthe network for all N-View enabled switches usingthe unique IEEE MAC addresses to identify eachswitch. The switch MAC address can be selectedand assigned an 80 character alias name.Meaningful alias names can also be added to allports using the configuration software. The switch and port alias names can be savedand used by the N-View OPC Server as part ofthe switch variable names. The alias names canbe used to help identify the location of the switchand the areas or equipment connected to theports.

N-View OPC Data Variables

N-View OPC Server data variables can be accessed by the N-View monitoring utility, or by most popular HMIor other application software packages with OPC client capability. These variables can be divided into threegeneral categories. Status variables indicate the operating condition of the switch or port. Traffic variablescount the number of OCTETS (BYTES) of a specific type of ethernet packet that have passed through a portsince the start of the switch. Error variables count the number of packet errors seen at each port since thestart of the switch. HMI software packages can convert these variables to the data type required for display,alarming, and trending during the data scan update process.
