Mounting Dimensions

MOXA EDS 516A Series EtherDevice Switch - Mounting
Dimensions

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of EDS-516A when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to EDS-516A, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown by the following figures.

STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring.

STEP 2: The DIN-Rail attachment unit will snap into place as shown in the following illustration.

To remove the EDS-516A from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2 above.

Wall Mounting (Optional)

For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EDS-516A on the wall, as shown by the following illustrations:

STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the Moxa EDS-516A rear panel, and then attach the wall mount plates with M3screws, as shown by the figure on the right.

Mounting

STEP 2: Mounting Moxa EDS-516A on the wall requires 4 screws. Use the EDS-516A, 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 by the figure on the 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-516A downwards, as indicated in the figure at the right. Tighten the four screws for more stability.

    • Provisions shall be made, either external to the apparatus, to prevent the rated voltage from being exceeded by the transient disturbances of more than 40%.

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 EtherDevice 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.

You should also pay attention to the following points:

  • 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

  • Separate input wiring and output wiring

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

Grounding the Moxa EDS-516A

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

EDS-516A has two sets of relay outputs—relay 1 and relay 2. Each Relay Contact consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on EDS-516A’s top panel. You can 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 will explain the meaning of the two contacts used to connect the Relay Contact.

MOXA EDS 516A Series EtherDevice Switch - Wiring the Relay
Contact

FAULT:
The two sets of relay 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 Redundant Power Inputs

EDS-516A has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and power input 2. The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on EDS’ top panel are used for EDS’ two digital inputs.
The top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

MOXA EDS 516A Series EtherDevice Switch - Power Inputs

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-516A’s top panel.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

EDS-516A 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 EDS’s top panel, which are used for EDS’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

MOXA EDS 516A Series EtherDevice Switch - Digital
Inputs

STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I1 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-516A’s top panel.

Communication Connections

All models of EDS-516A have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface), between 14 and 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have 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 Moxa EDS-516A 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 Moxa EtherDevice 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 Moxa EtherDevice Switch port.
  3. The information to the right of the right vertical dashed line gives the pinouts of the opposing device’s port.

NOTE

  1. The pin numbers for male DB9 and DB25 connectors and hole numbers for female DB9 and DB25 connectors are labeled on the connector. However, the numbers are typically quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying glass to see the numbers clearly.
  2. The pin numbers for both 8-pin and 10-pin RJ45 connectors (and ports) are typically not labeled on the connector (or port). Refer to the following Pinout and Cable Wiring diagrams to see how RJ45 pins are numbered.

RS-232 Connection

Moxa EDS-516A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable following wiring diagrams) to connect Moxa EDS-516A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access Moxa EDS-516A’s console configuration utility.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users will choose to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or HUB /Switch-type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB /Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

100BaseFx Ethernet Port Connection

The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. As opposed 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 to transmit data from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
All you need to remember is 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 are making 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 by the following illustration, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).
