Overview This chapter gives an overview of the ADAM-6520 series' features and full specifications. Sections include: • Introduction • Features • Specifications • Ordering Information...
Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Introduction ADAM-6520 modules are a 5-port industrial-grade 10/100 Mbps Ether- net switch for fast and cost-efficient network expansion. They connect up to 5 workstations and auto-detect both 10 and 100 Mbps network speeds. Moreover, ADAM-6520 modules support auto crossover to provide a flexible networking environment, connecting to the network via any port.
1.1.4 Wide Operating Temperature Range The operating temperature of ADAM-6520 is from -10~70° C, and ADAM-6520L is from 0~60° C, while ADAM-6520I offers a very wide range from -40 to 85° C. With such wide ranges you can use ADAM- 6520 modules in some of the harshest industrial environments that exist.
1.3 Specifications Communications Standard IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-TX Transmission Distance 100 m Transmission Speed up to 100 Mbps Interface Connectors 5 x RJ-45 LED Indicators Power, Link/Speed Power Power Connectors 2-pin removable screw terminal Power ADAM-6520L: Max. 3W Consumption ADAM-6520/6520I: Max.

2.3 LED Indicators There are six network status LEDs located on the top panel of ADAM- 6520 modules, one for power, and one for each of the network ports. Table 2.1: ADAM-6520 Module LED Definitions Color State Description Power Green Power is on Power is off Link/Speed...
2.4 Mounting Through versatility and innovative design, ADAM-6520 modules can be: • Fixed to a wall or panel • Fixed to a DIN-rail. • “Piggyback” stacked Panel Mounting ADAM-6520 modules can be attached to a wall using the included brack- ets.

DIN-rail Mounting You can mount ADAM-6520 modules on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail. First, use two screws to attach the DIN-rail bracket to the ADAM-6520 modules. Because ADAM-6520 modules use special hex head slotted shoulder screws, the tops of the screws will be even with the front of the module.
2.5 Network Connection 2.5.1 Connection to Devices Each of the switch’s twisted-pair ports can be used to connect to a con- troller or other devices. Use a straight-through twisted-pair cable with RJ- 45 connectors on both ends. The twisted-pair cable extended from a twisted-pair port is called a “twisted-pair segment”.
