Product Overview

SX5E is an entry-level industrial Ethernet switch designed for the factory automation industry. SX5E with QoS capabilities and an IP30-protected metal enclosure, efficiently allocates network bandwidth, makes rational use of network resources, and ensures fast and reliable data transmission in harsh industrial environments. Broadcast storm prevention function (BPS) and Quality of Service (QoS) can be turned on or off by setting DIP switches. This series support DIN-Rail installation. The configuration is shown in the following table:

Connection

10/100Base-T(X) Ethernet Port

10/100Base-T(X) Ethernet port is equipped with RJ45 connector. The port is self-adaptive. It can automatically configure itself to work in 10M or 100M state, full or half duplex mode. The port can also adapt to MDI or MDIX connection automatically. You can connect the port to a terminal or network device with a straight-through or cross-over cable.

Grounding

Grounding protects the device from lightning and interference. Therefore, you must ground the device properly. ou need to ground the device before it is powered on and disconnect the grounding cable after the device i powered off.

There is a grounding screw (see Figure 2) on the top panel of the device. The screw is for chassis grounding. After crimping one end of the grounding cable to a cold pressed terminal, secure the end of the grounding cable to the grounding screw and firmly connect the other end to ground.

Note：
Cross-sectional area of the chassis grounding cable > 2.5mm2

Power Terminal Block

There is a power terminal block on the top panel of the device. You need to connect the power wires to the terminal block to provide power for the device. The device supports redundant power supply with 4-pin 5.08mmspacing plug-in terminal block. When one power input is faulty, the device can continue operating properly, thereby ensure network reliability.

Note：
Wiring must use lead sizes that are appropriate for the applied voltage and current. Terminal screws must be tightened with the prescribed tightening torque. Do not add any intermediate connecting parts other than ferrules.

4	PWR2: +	PWR2: L

Wiring and Mounting

Step 1: Ground the device properly according to section 4.2.
Step 2: Remove the power terminal block from the device.
Step 3: Insert the power wires into the power terminal block according to Table 3 and secure the wires.
Step 4: Insert the terminal block with the connected wires into the terminal block socket on the device.
Step 5: Connect one end of the power cable to an external power supply system (with the allowed power range). If the power LED on the front panel of the switch turns on, the power supply is connected properly.

Wiring and mounting should meet following specifications.

Terminal Type	Required Torque	Wire Range (AWG)
Terminal Block Plug	0.5Nm	12-24

**Caution：**

Provision shall be made to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by transient disturbances of more than 140% of the rated voltage.
Use a power supply of the rated value. Use of a wrong power supply may cause fire hazard.
To comply with UL restrictions, this equipment must be powered from a source compliant with SELV.

Electric Shock Icon Warning：

Turn off power to the device before installation, removal, wiring, maintenance, and inspection of the device. Failure to turn power off may cause damage, electrical shocks or fire hazard.

DIP Switches

There are two DIP switches on the top panel of the device, each switch has ON and OFF states, and the default state is OFF. DIP switchesⅠenable and disable broadcast storm protection function, DIP switchesⅡenable and disable QoS function.

Figure 9 DIP Switches

Optional Function

Broadcast Storm Protection (BSP) function

If a large amount of broadcast packets are sent (broadcast storm), a communication error may occur or a network trouble such as the performance degradation of the entire network may occur. When you enable the Broadcast Storm Protection (BSP) function, it is possible to protect the network from such a network trouble.

Quality of Service (QoS) function

When you enable the QoS function, this product monitors the traffic to process, and preferentially processes communications via EtherNet/IPTM. This allows EtherNet/IPTM communications to be performed stably even if a large amount of traffic, for example, with video images and still images occurs.

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping function

When you enable the IGMP snooping function, the product will send multicast packets only to the port where the multicast packets are required, and control the transmission of packets to the other ports. This prevents unnecessary traffic from occurring.

How to use these functions

To enable/disable each of these functions, set its corresponding DIP switch to ON/OFF..

| DIP1| DIP2| Function
---|---|---|---
State 1| OFF| OFF| Default configurations, disable BSP and QoS
State 2| ON| OFF| Enable BSP
State 3| OFF| ON| Enable QoS.
State 4| ON| ON| Enable BSP and QoS
