Safety Information

Before installation:
Read this manual completely and gather all information available on the product. Make sure it is fully understood. Check that your application does not exceed the safe operating specifications for the product.

SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
The product must be installed and operated by qualified service personnel and installed into an apparatus cabinet or similar, where access is restricted to service personnel only.
Refer to chapter Compliance Information to see the required level of qualified service personnel according to safety standards.
During installation, ensure a protective earthing conductor is first connected to the protective earthing terminal (only valid for metallic housings). Westermo recommends a cross-sectional area of at least 4 mm2.
Upon removal of the product, ensure that the protective earthing conductor is disconnected last.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE
Do not open an energized product. Hazardous voltage may occur when connected to a power supply.

PROTECTIVE FUSE
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused. The fuse must be IEC 60127 certified and rated for T1.6 A and 250 V.
It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance with national installation regulations.
This product has no internal fuse and should be connected via an external fuse for protection.

REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, use only telecommunication line cords with a cable diameter of AWG 26 or larger. Regarding power cable dimensions, see chapter Interface Specifications.

HOT SURFACE
Be aware that the surface of this product may become hot. When it is operated at high temperatures, the external surface may exceed the Touch Temperature Limit according to the product’s relevant electrical safety standard.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Prevent electrostatic discharge damage to internal electronic parts by discharging your body to a grounding point (e.g. use a wrist strap).

Product Description

Product Description

The Wolverine series consists of Ethernet extenders and bridges for propagating Ethernet traffic over existing cabling. The Ethernet link can be allowed to be extended over longer distances than possible with pure copper Ethernet and at data rates of up to 70 Mbit/s.
The DDW-002-B1 makes it possible to reuse many types of pre-existing copper cables since it is based on power line communication (IEEE 1901). A network with the DDW002B1 devices is capable of bridging high bandwidth Ethernet traffic over 2-wire cables, even when there are corroded connectors. The powerline communication standard is designed to establish a reliable communication link over both twisted pair and parallel cabling.
This can lead to considerable financial savings when refurbishing a train with Ethernet communication, as existing train couplers can be reused without the need for a costly rebuild or even replacement. By simply installing a DDW-002-B1 on each side of the coupler, a bridge connecting the Ethernet networks on each side is created. The fact that no configuration is needed further contributes to the ease of use.
The DDW-002-B1 has been thoroughly tested by certified labs to ensure its compliance with the standard for electronic equipment used on rolling stock, the EN 50155. For several characteristics, Westermo exceeds the requirements mandated by the standard. Furthermore, the design is based on Westermo’s long experience within the rolling stock market, which brings benefits such as vibration-safe integrated connector threading, and IP67 ingress protection with GORE-TEX® membrane to prevent condensation water build-up, and ultimately a high MTBF and long service life under the harshest conditions.
Meeting the requirements for rolling stock makes the DDW-002-B1 also very well suited for deployment in other applications with severe operating conditions and extreme environments.

Installation

Wall Mounting

There are four 6 mm boreholes intended for mounting the unit. The unit can be mounted vertical or horizontal. Use four M5 screws with a 12 mm washer on a flat and stable surface.

Figure 5. Wall mounting

Protective Earth Connection

For correct function, the earth connection needs to be properly connected to a designated PE rail. See the figure below.

Figure 6. Earth connection

Connection of Cables

Recommended tightening torque for the M12 connectors is 0.6 Nm. When connecting the power cable, ensure that the pins are connected correctly before tightening the power cable to the unit.

PROTECTIVE FUSE
The power supply wiring must be sufficiently fused.
It must be possible to disconnect manually from the power supply. Ensure compliance with national installation regulations.
Replacing the internal fuse must only be performed by Westermo qualified personnel.

NOTE – UNUSED CONNECTORS
Unused connectors must be covered by a protective cap (delivered with the product), and tightened to the specified torque in order to fulfill the specified ingress protection code.

Cooling

This product relies on convection cooling. Make sure that it is installed so that the ambient temperature is within the specified temperature range. Avoid obstruction of the airflow around the product.

Replacement of Product

Disconnect all cables and unscrew the product from the wall. MTTR (Mean Time To Repair), i.e. time for replacement of the product is < 10 minutes.

EN 45545-2 Mounting Notes

Two products can be mounted together and as a single interior non-listed group in the sense of EN 45545-2 definitions. For multiple products, the spacing requirements for interior non-listed groups must be met.

Getting Started

The DDW-002-B1 is easy to use and install. The units work in a pair over existing copper cabling infrastructure and automatically connect to each other when the remote device is sensed over the interconnecting lines.

The installation procedure to get the application up and running is simple.

  1. Connect the cable (twisted pair or parallel cable) to X2 pins 1 and 3 (polarity independent).
  2. Connect Ethernet to the X1 port on the front of the DDW-002-B1.
  3. Connect power to the devices.

The following settings are valid for the Ethernet interface:

  • Ethernet auto-negotiation enabled
  • Auto MDI/MDI-X
  • Auto-polarity enabled

The DDW-002-B1 will automatically detect the possible data rate to the remote device (over the X2 – PLC interface ).
The link performance can easily be measured after the powerline link is established.
Different types of methods and tools can be used.
One example of recommended software for throughput testing is Iperf. Please refer to Iperf user documentation for instructions on usage.

NOTE
If the PLC link is not established or the established data rate is not sufficient for the application, the distance might be too long between the devices.

A device is an unmanaged unit. If data throughput performance needs to be adjusted or if no powerline connection is established, check the cabling between the devices.

Configuration

All necessary configurations are preconfigured from the factory and no other changes in the settings can be done.
