Safety Guidelines To protect persons against any harm and the module from damage, the operation of the SEA 9715 module is only allowed according to the rules described in this document. Hot or Cold The metallic surface of the module might become Surface hot or cold as well.
Safety Critical Applications The module is not failure tolerant and therefore not suitable for use in safety critical applications. Do not use for medical applications or any live supporting appa- ratus. Hazardous Locations The module is suitable for use in non hazardous locations only. Keep the module always away from hazardous locations and ex- plosive areas.
Hazardous Voltages A voltage is hazardous when higher than 25 V or 60 VDC to earth ground according to IEC 60364-4-41 (SELV). If the module specifications allow to connect hazardous voltages to the module, take following pre- cautions, when connecting hazardous voltages to the module: Make sure that only qualified personnel wires hazardous voltage adhering to local electrical standards.
The SEA 9715 can currently be operated in the following CompactRIO™ systems: Reconfigurable Chassis: all types • Expansion Chassis: all types • CompactDAQ: all types • In order to operate the SEA 9715 module no software driver is required. Hardware Manual...
Connecting SEA 9715 SEA 9715 is a Ethernet switch module with RJ45 connectors (ports) to connect up to five Ethernet based devices. The power is supplied via the backplane connector (D-SUB-15) to the SEA 9715 module. Fig. 1: Front Side (five RJ 45 connectors)

The switch has no data connection to the backplane connector. The SEA 9715 only transfers data between the five Ethernet ports. Data from Ethernet devices cannot be made available on the backplane connector (in the FPGA).

Specifications The following specifications are typical for the range -40°c to +70°C un- less otherwise noted. Switch Characteristics Network type IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x Network mode Switching (unmanaged) Data rate 10/100 Mbit/s Connector type RJ45 Number of ports Power Requirements Operating voltage 5 VDC, ±...
Environmental Conditions The SEA 9715 module is intended for indoor use only. For outdoor use, mount the CompactRIO™ system in a suitable rated enclosure. Refer to the installation instructions for the chassis for more information about how to meet these specifications.
Maintenance The module should only be wiped with a dry towel. It is not water resis- tant and should not be operated in humid environments. The module contains no components, which have to be maintained. The opening of the module will destroy the heat conductors and will void warranty.
