SE300 series is the industry’s first design for Ethernet Green® , IEEE802.3az - Energy Ethernet switches that cut power usage by up to 60%, significantly saving energy usage in the field and reducing total cost of ownership over 24/7.
Advantech B+B SmartWorx SE300 series monitored switches can be used as plug-andplay unmanaged switches right out of the box. Installing the iView² Network Management Software gives them basic monitoring and management capabilities as well. They bridge the gap between unmanaged switches and significantly more expensive, fully managed solutions.
When enabled with iView2 , these switches provide IP address assignment, allowing for a static IP address or an address that is discoverable via DHCP in the network. Then, these switches have the ability to use Modbus/TCP to communicate with HMI/SCADA software and SNMP to communicate with NMS (Networking Management Software) at the same time. This gives full access control to both control engineers and IT managers.
Basic Monitoring & Management Capabilities
iView2 gives network managers the ability to monitor and manage eWorx SE300 series switches from a central location. It features an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) that provides a real-life representation of all installed eWorx SE300 Series switches, displaying device functions, port settings, device status information and traffic statistics via SNMP.
iView2 can also configure eWorx SE300 series switches monitoring capabilities for automation applications via the popular Modbus TCP/IP protocol. Control engineers can use existing HMI/SCADA software to integrate the network status by creating extra tags for real-time monitoring. iView2 is a standalone software that supports multiple platforms and operating systems.
