INSTALLATION AND HAZARDOUS AREA WARNINGS: These products should not be used to replace proper safety interlocking. No software-based device (or any other solid-state device) should ever be designed to be responsible for the maintenance of consequential equipment or personnel safety. In particular, no responsibility for damages, either direct or consequential, that result from the use of this equipment in any application will be taken by the distributor of this product.
Section 1 General Information Overview This manual will help you install and maintain the Industrial Ethernet Switches. These unmanaged switches are extremely easy to install and operate because little or no user configuration is required. Once the Ethernet connections are made and the unit is powered up it will immediately begin to operate.
Section 2 LED Indicators Overview The Industrial Ethernet Switches have communication LEDs for each port and a power LED. Refer to the pictures below for the typical location of these LEDs. The exact location of these LEDs may vary between the different models. FIVE PORT SWITCH FIVE PORT WITH FIBER SWITCH Power...
Section 3 Installation Overview The Industrial Ethernet Switch can be snapped onto a standard DIN rail (EN50022) or screwed directly to a flat panel. Refer to the mechanical drawings below. Note: The Ethernet connections for the 5 port switch come out the face of the unit. However, the Ethernet connections for the 5 port fiber switch come out the top.
Section 4 Power Wiring Overview Industrial Ethernet Switches can be powered from the same DC source that is used to power your I/O devices. 10 to 30 VDC needs to be applied to terminals 2 and 3. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
Section 5 Ethernet Wiring Overview The Industrial Ethernet Switches provides connections to Ethernet devices on the factory floor. Typically the uplink port or fiber port is used to connect to another Ethernet switch or hub that is connected to the main Ethernet backbone. The other four Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such as PLCs, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers.
