The NT7000 platform is designed for fast performance, high-speed motion control, and maximum uptime in harsh environments. It features advanced network security, rapid recovery, and precision hardware-based time synchronization to support complex industrial architectures.
Built for modern industrial networks where seconds matter
Industrial networks are advancing. They’re getting faster, more complex, and more dependent on uptime than ever before. To meet these demands, HMS Networks—a manufacturer of innovative technologies that empower industrial organizations to control, connect and visualize their data—is pleased to announce the launch of the N-Tron® NT7000 Series, an advanced managed industrial Ethernet switch platform designed for real world industrial environments where failure is not an option.
When a production line comes back online, time matters and seconds count. N-Tron NT7000 is built to minimize downtime with fast boot that passes traffic in less than 7 seconds and N-Ring redundancy with ~20 ms healing, helping operations return to service quickly after network faults.
As motion, robotics, and other time-sensitive industrial applications become more common, deterministic timing is no longer optional. N-Tron NT7000 supports hardware-based IEEE-1588 PTP for sub microsecond time synchronization, moving timestamping into hardware to reduce variation versus software-based implementations, supporting more consistent timing for demanding applications.
Deploy faster, replace easier, support smarter. N-Tron NT7000 is designed not just to perform but to simplify the day-to-day realities of industrial networking. N-View 3 provides switch and topology discovery, network health monitoring, firmware management, and centralized IP addressing. A microSD card in the switch supports configuration backup and restore, helping enable faster replacement and recovery. For EtherNet/IP environments, CIP messaging AOI and Faceplate help simplify controls integration.
N-Tron NT7000 is a platform designed to support a wide range of industrial architectures and installation needs. It offers versatile scaling with an all-Gigabit copper portfolio ranging from 6 to 18 ports with fixed FX fiber or dual mode SFP options availableto fit common compact and complex industrial designs.
NT7000 is certified for rugged industrial applications that customers actually deploy in, including UL Ordinary and Hazardous locations as well as ATEX and IECEx certification in addition to IEEE 802.3 compliance and ODVA, marine, railway and rolling stock certifications. The switches are housed in rugged, DIN-mountable all-metal enclosures and offer high shock and vibration tolerance, along with surge protection, redundant power inputs and extreme operating temperatures from -40° to 85° C.
Industrial teams keep telling us they need performance they can trust—without added complexity. The N-Tron NT7000 is built for that reality: fast startup, rapid recovery, hardware-based precision timing, and tools that make it easier to deploy, maintain, and restore. It’s designed to keep critical operations running in the environments where uptime matters most.
