DIN-Rail Mounting The metal DIN-rail kit is fixed to the back panel of the EDS-G500E series when you take it out of the box. Mount the EDS-G500E series on corrosion-free mounting rails that meet the EN 60715 standard. Installation STEP 1—Insert the upper lip of the DIN rail into the DIN-rail mounting kit.
STEP 2—Mounting the EDS-G500E series on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the EDS-G500E series, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in...
Wiring the Relay Contact The EDS-G500E series has one set of relay output. This relay contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the EDS-G500E’s top panel. Refer to the next section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.
EDS-G500E’s top panel. Wiring the Digital Inputs The EDS-G500E series has one set of digital input (DI). The DI consists of two contacts of the 4-pin terminal block connector on the EDS-G500E's top panel, which are used for the two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.
The EDS-G500E series has one USB console port (type B connector), located on the top panel. Use the USB cable (provided in the product package) to connect the EDS-G500E's console port to your PC's USB port and install the USB driver (available in the software CD) on the PC. You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the EDS-G500E’s console configuration utility.
TRD(3)+ TRD(3)- 100/1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the EDS-G500E series are 100/1000BaseSFP Fiber ports, which require using the 100M or 1G mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly. Moxa provides completed transceiver models for different distance requirement.
When the ABC-02-USB is connected to the EDS-G500E Ethernet switch, the reset button allows quick configuration and backs up log files to the ABC-02-USB. Press the Reset button on top of the EDS-G500E, the Ethernet switch will start backing up current system configuration files and event logs to the ABC-02-USB.
NOTE You must enable the Turbo Ring function first before using the DIP switch to activate the Master and Coupler functions. NOTE If you do not enable any of the EDS-G500E series switches to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the EDS-G500E series with the smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master.
