EDS-405 User’s Manual
Overview
EDS-405 Series, the new generation of EtherDevice™ Switch, includes 4 models:
EDS-405, EDS-405-MM-SC, EDS-405-SS-SC, and EDS-405-MM-ST, referred
to collectively as EDS-405. EDS-405 is a 5-port Ethernet switch specially
designed for industrial automation and control systems. It comes with the
plug-n-play Moxa Turbo Ring, which is used to establish an Ethernet redundant
ring topology. Turbo Ring can begin transmitting automatically over a redundant
path in under 300 ms, increasing the reliability of your system.
The built-in relay output function helps you monitor each port’s link status, each
power input’s status, and the health of the Turbo Ring topology. This relay output
warning function enables your maintenance engineers to react promptly to
emergency situations.
Commercial Ethernet switches need 3 to 5 minutes to recover the connection
when you unplug your device from one port, and then plug it into another port
for field diagnosis. The Line-Swap Fast Recovery feature responds in less than 1
second, allowing you to complete your diagnosis in a much shorter time period.
EDS-405 has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C, and is designed
to withstand a high degree of vibration and shock. The rugged hardware design
makes EDS-405 perfect for ensuring that your Ethernet equipment can withstand
critical industrial applications, such as in hazardous locations (UL/cUL Class 1
Division 2 and ATEX Class 1 Zone 2), and complies with FCC, TÜV, UL, and
CE Standards.
The redundant dual DC power inputs give you extra assurance that your switch
will operate non-stop, and the versatile installation options
—
by DIN-Rail or wall
mounting
—
makes it easy to fit EDS-405 into any environment.
