ATTENTION
Before connecting the Ethernet Switch to the DC power inputs,
make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The IE-SW-PL08M unit has two sets of digital inputs, DI 1 and DI 2. Each DI
consists of two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on the Ethernet
Switch top panel. The remaining contacts are used for the Ethernet Switch two
DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are
shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the digital inputs:
STEP 1
: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the
┴
/I1 terminals.
STEP 2
: To keep the DI 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 IE-SW-PL08M Series top panel.
Communication Connections
IE-SW-PL08M models have 8 or 6 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports, and 0 (zero)
or 2 100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector) fiber ports.
In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout Diagrams and Cable
Wiring Diagrams—to convey information about the ports and the cables used to
connect IE-SW-PL08M Series to other devices:
Pinouts
—The meaning of the “Pinouts” diagrams is straightforward. The
diagrams simply display the type of signal passing through each of the port’s
pins.
Cable Wiring
—Diagrams labeled “Cable Wiring” present standard cable
wiring schemes for cables used to connect Ethernet Switch’s ports to other
devices. These diagrams display three pieces of information:
1.
When building your own cable, refer to the “pin-to-pin” Cable Wiring
information displayed between the two vertical dashed lines to see which
pin of the connector on the left should be connected to which pin of the
connector on the right.
2.
The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the pinouts
of the relevant Ethernet Switch port.
3.
The information to the right of the right vertical dashed line gives the
pinouts of the opposing device’s port.
