Product Overview |
|
The
EISC Series of configurable switches provides capabilities beyond
those found in standard Plug and Play (PnP) switches.
Besides conventional
features such as auto-negotiation, 10/100 Mbps data rate, half-
or full-duplex operation and flow control, the EISC has advanced
features such as Port
VLAN, trunking, Quality
of Service (QoS) and a programmable fault relay
that can be connected to a supervisory system. Individual port
parameters can be configured via a console port attached to a
Windows-based workstation. Port status can be monitored over the
console port using the Modbus Protocol making it easy to interface
the EISC with supervisory control equipment. These features and
more, make the EISC one of the most versatile Industrial Ethernet
switches available.
The EISC boasts
of advanced features typically only available in high-end switches.
• |
Port
VLAN allows for the physical network to be
configured as multiple virtual local area networks; thereby,
limiting the broadcast/multicast domains and improving performance. |
• |
Trunking allows for ports to be grouped in fours so as to function
as a high-speed backbone to another EISC configurable switch. |
• |
QoS provides priority to messages received by the switch. Three
schemes are supported: port-based priority, IP packet priority
(RFC 2474) or IEEE 802.1p priority. |
• |
Programmable Fault Relay provides a dry contact to supervisory systems
upon a fault condition sensed by the switch. This includes
loss of link or addition of link. |
Configuration of the EISC is accomplished via a console port connected to a
Windows-based configuration program included with the product.
The Modbus Protocol is used and register information is published
in the manual so that the switch can be configured or its status
can be monitored by a Modbus master device. The port parameters
on each port, including data rate, duplex and flow control, can
be manually set or can be automatically set through the auto-negotiation
Protocol. A unique feature of the EISC is that the signal strength
of each port can be monitored on one of the configuration screens.
A small bar graph provides a dynamic view of each port's received
signal strength which is handy for troubleshooting.
The EISC Series has four models. The EISC16-100T provides sixteen twisted-pair
ports. The EISC12-100T/FT has ten twisted-pair and two multimode
(1300 nm) ports with ST connectors. The EISC12-100/FC is identical
except it has SC connectors. The EISC12-100T/FCS also has SC connectors
but with single-mode(1300 NM) ports.
All units can
be powered from wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC power sources.
Provisions exist for redundant power connections.
