Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Features
The EDG-6528 is an industrial-grade Ethernet switch for fast and cost-
effective expansion of industrial Ethernet networks. The EDG-6528 has
eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports to connect up to eight Ethernet devices.
Moreover, EDG-6528 has industrial-grade design that assures high reli-
ability and stability. Therefore, EDG-6528 is an excellent solution for
industrial environments with Ethernet networking, such as: semi-conduc-
tor factories, inventory control environments, assembly lines and produc-
tion facilities.
High-Speed Transmission
The EDG-6528 includes a switch controller that can automatically sense
transmission speeds. (10/100 Mbps) The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-
detected, so MDI or MDI-X is automatically selected and a crossover
cable is not required. All Ethernet ports have memory buffers that support
the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that data is properly
transmitted.
Dual Power Inputs (does not include EDG-6528L)
To reduce the risk of power failure, the EDG-6528 provides dual power
inputs. If there is a power failure, EDG-6528 will automatically switch to
the secondary power input.
Flexible Mounting
EDG-6528 is extremely compact and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or a
panel, so it is suitable for any space-constrained environment.
Advanced Protection for Power line and Ethernet Port
The power line of EDG-6528 supports up to 3000 VDC surge protection,
which secure equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems
safer and more reliable. Meanwhile, 4000 V DC ESD protection for
Ethernet ports (not including EDG-6528L) make EDG-6528 more suit-
able for harsh environments.
