DIN-Rail Mounting

The metal DIN-rail kit is fixed to the back panel of the EDS-G500E series when you take it out of the box. Mount the EDS-G500E series on corrosion-free mounting rails that meet the EN 60715 standard.

Installation

STEP 1: Insert the upper lip of the DIN rail into the DIN-rail mounting kit.
STEP 2 : Press the EDS-G500E series towards the DIN rail until it snaps into place.

Removal

STEP 1 : Pull down the latch on the mounting kit with a screwdriver.
STEP 2 & 3: Slightly pull the EDS-G500E series forward and lift up to remove it from the DIN rail.

ATTENTION

  1. These devices are open-type devices that are to be installed in an enclosure with tool removable cover or door that suitable for the environment.
  2. This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D or non-hazardous locations only.

Wall Mounting (Optional)

For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EDSG500E series on the wall, as shown in the following illustrations:

STEP 1 : Remove the aluminum DIN rail attachment plate from the rear panel of the EDS-G500E series, and then attach the wall mount plates with M3 screws, as shown in the figure at the right.

Wall Mounting

STEP 2 : Mounting the EDS-G500E series on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the EDS-G500E series, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure on at right.

NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw through one of the keyhole- shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting Plates.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave about 2 mm to allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.

STEP 3 : Once the screws are fixed to the wall, insert the four screw heads through the  wide parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the EDS-G500E downwards, as indicated in the figure at the right. Tighten the four screws for more stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on the type plate. The devices are designed for operation with a Safety Extra-Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with the Safety Extra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/ EN60950/ VDE0805.

ATTENTION
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or similar regulation).

ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa Ether Device Switch. Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

Please read and follow these guidelines:

  • Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
    NOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately

  • You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together

  • You should separate input wiring from output wiring

  • We advise that you label the wiring to all devices in the system.

Grounding the Moxa EDS-G500E Series

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The EDS-G500E series has one set of relay output. This relay contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the EDS-G500E’s top panel. Refer to the next section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor. In this section, we illustrate the meaning of the two contacts used to connect the relay contact.

FAULT:
The two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector are used to detect user-configured events. The two wires attached to the fault contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a user-configured event does not occur, the fault circuit remains closed.

Wiring the Relay Contact

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The EDS-G500E series has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and power input 2. The top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1 : Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals, respectively.

STEP 2 : To keep the DC 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 EDS-G500E’s top panel.

Wiring the Relay Contact

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The EDS-G500E series has one set of digital input (DI). The DI consists of two contacts of the 4-pin terminal block connector on the EDS-G500E’s top panel, which are used for the two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I terminals, respectively.

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 EDS-G500E’s top panel.

Wiring the Relay Contact

Communication Connections

Each EDS-G500E series switch has 4 types of communication ports:

  • 1 USB console port (type B connector)
  • 1 USB storage port (type A connector)
  • 8 (EDS-G508E/EDS-G512E-4GSFP) or 12 (EDS-G516E-4GSFP) 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
  • 4 100/1000Base SFP slots (EDS-G512E-4GSFP/EDS-G516E-4GSFP)

USB Console Connection

The EDS-G500E series has one USB console port (type B connector), located on the top panel. Use the USB cable (provided in the product package) to connect the EDS-G500E’s console port to your PC’s USB port and install the USB driver on the PC. You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access the EDS-G500E’s console configuration utility.

100/1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port

The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the EDS-G500E series are 100/1000BaseSFP Fiber ports, which require using the 100M or 1G mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly. Moxa provides completed transceiver models for different distance requirement.

The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straightforward. Suppose that you are connecting devices I and II; contrary to electrical signals, optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.

Remember to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your own cable, we suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Reset Button

There are two functions available on the Reset Button. One is to reset the Ethernet switch to factory default settings by pressing and holding the
Reset button for 5 seconds. Use a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick, to depress the Reset button. This will cause the STATE LED to blink once a second. After depressing the button for 5 continuous seconds, the STATE LED will start to blink rapidly. This indicates that factory default settings have been loaded and you can release the reset button.

When the ABC-02-USB is connected to the EDS-G500E Ethernet switch, the reset button allows quick configuration and backs up log files to the ABC-02-USB. Press the Reset button on top of the EDS-G500E, the Ethernet switch will start backing up current system configuration files and event logs to the ABC-02-USB

NOTE Do NOT power off the Ethernet switch when loading default settings.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings

EDS-G500E series are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet switches. The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol was developed by Moxa to provide better network reliability and faster recovery time. Moxa Turbo Ring’s recovery time is less than 300 ms (Turbo Ring) or 50 ms (Turbo Ring V2) —compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time for commercial switches—decreasing the possible loss caused by network failures in an industrial setting.

There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the top panel of EDS-G500E series that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds. If you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the  Turbo Ring, you can use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.

NOTE Please refer to the Turbo Ring section in Communication Redundancy User’s Manual for more detail information about the setting and usage of Turbo Ring and Turbo Ring V2.

EDS-G500E Series DIP Switches

The default setting for each DIP Switch is OFF. The following table explains the effect of setting the DIP Switch to the ON position.

OFF : Enables the default “Ring Coupling (primary)” port when DIP switch 3 is already enabled.| OFF : This EDS will not be the Ring Master.| OFF : Do not use this EDS as a ring coupler.| OFF : DIP switch 1, 2, and 3 will be disabled.

NOTE You must enable the Turbo Ring function first before using the DIP switch to activate the Master and Coupler functions.

NOTE If you do not enable any of the EDS-G500E series switches to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the EDS-G500E series with the smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one EDS-G500E series to be the Ring Master, these EDS-G500E series switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be the Ring Master.
