Grounding the Ethernet Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The IE-SW-PL08M has two sets of relay output—relay 1 and relay 2. Each relay
contact consists of two contacts of the terminal block on the IE-SW-PL08M 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.
The fault circuit will open if::
1.
A relay warning event is triggered, OR
2.
The IE-SW-PL08M Switch is the Master of this Turbo Ring, and the Turbo
Ring is broken, OR
3.
Start-up failure.
If none of these three conditions is met, the fault circuit will remain closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The IE-SW-PL08M switch has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and
power input 2. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are
shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the redundant power inputs:
STEP 1
: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
STEP 2
: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade
screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block
connector.
STEP 3
: Insert the plastic terminal block connector prongs into the terminal
block receptor, which is located on the Ethernet Switch top panel.
