EICP Series

Industrial Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Compact Switching Hubs

Installation Guide

EICP Switches provide popular PnP functionality: auto-negotiation, 10/100 Mbps data
rate, half- or full-duplex operation, and ow control.

Each switch learns port assignments by reading Ethernet frames and logs source
addresses on a table which can hold over 4000 addresses. With this information, it
improves throughput by restricting trafc to only those ports party to a data exchange
— while other data is simultaneously exchanged on other ports. Store-and-forward
operation is implemented and broadcast, multicast, or unicast transmissions are
received by all ports.

The EICP also provides preamble regeneration with symmetry and amplitude
compensation — retiming signals to eliminate jitter. Digital pre-emphasis
compensates for inherent signal strength roll-off. Link integrity is monitored,
verifying that a working adapter or hub is on the distant end of a segment.

All ports support PAUSE ow control for full-duplex links and backpressure for half­duplex. All RJ-45 ports feature Auto-MDIX for ease of cabling.

The switches are powered from wide-range, low-voltage AC or DC sources and
redundant power connections are provided for backup considerations. They come
with the hardware for either DIN-rail or panel mounting. The front panels feature a
power LED and bi-colour LEDs for the link status, activity, and data rate of each port.

Designed for Industrial Ethernet applications, each switch
complies with EMC immunity and emissions compatibility
standards for industrial environments.

Power Options

The EICP can be
powered in various
ways as illustra ted
below :

Power Considerations

Voltage in the range of 10–36 VDC or 8–24 VAC must
deliver current commensurate with power consumption.
Power conductors can be stranded (16–18 AWG) or
solid (16–22 AWG). Zero volts and the chassis are
isolated from each other. Input connections are reverse­polarity protected. Primary power backup for a substitute
DC supply or backup battery is possible by way of built-in
redundant diode-isolated inputs, but separate provisions
are required for charging any backup battery.

LED Indicators

To aid troubleshooting, each port LED glows solid if a link
exists, ashes to show activity and shows data rate by
colour: green for 100 Mbps and yellow for 10 Mbps. A
power LED is provided.

Network Connections

Cabling requirements appear in the table below. With
the Auto-MDIX feature, either crossover or standard
straight-through cables may be used to connect to any
copper port. When connecting bre between one device
and another, the transmit port of one unit must connect to
the receive port of the other unit — and vice versa. Half­duplex operation is not supported on the bre port.
