Introduction

What is possible?
The CSM 1277 device allows the cost-effective installation of Industrial Ethernet bus or star
structures with switching functionality.
Note
It is not possible to use the CSM 1277 switch in a redundant ring because it does not support
redundancy.
Note
If the CSM 1277 switch is supplied over long 24 V power supply lines or networks, measures
are necessary to prevent interference by strong electromagnetic pulses on the supply lines.
These can result, for example, due to lightning or switching of large inductive loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of the switch to electromagnetic interference
was the "surge immunity test" according to EN61000-4-5. This test requires overvoltage
protection for the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn Blitzductor
VT AD 24 V type no. 918 402 or comparable protective element.

When used under hazardous conditions (zone 2), the CSM 1277 switch must be installed in

compliance with EN 60529.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD: DO NOT DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT WHEN A
FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT.
