Hirschmann OCTOPUS 5TX-EEC Description And Operating Instructions

Description and operating instructions
Industrial Ethernet IP67 Switch

The Ethernet switch OCTOPUS 5TX-EEC has
been especially designed for use in indu­strial environments. It supports Ethernet
10 MBit/s and Fast Ethernet 100 MBit/s.

The Ethernet switch modules support swit­ched Ethernet networks in accordance with
IEEE standard 802.3 (10BASE-T) or 802.3u
(100BASE-TX) using copper technology.

The switch modules are fitted at the instal­lation site using screws.

The OCTOPUS 5TX-EEC modules have five
10/100 Mbit/s twisted pair ports (10BASE­T/100BASE-TX, shielded M12 connectors).

It is possible to connect up to five DTEs
(data terminal equipment) or other TP/TX
network segments to these ports using
twisted pair cabling.

The TP ports support auto negotiation,
autopolarity and autocrossing.

The IP67 switch conforms with protection
class IP67 (protection against shock and
foreign particles: dust proof, water protec­tion: protected against the effects at tem­porary immersion in water).

The device with the order number
942 052-001 additionally offers an IP-based
Quality of Service function (QoS).

Safety Guidelines
Power Supply

z

Warning!

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
with PELV circuits or alternatively
SELV circuits with the voltage
restrictions in accordance with
IEC/EN 60950-1.

䡺 For the case where the module is opera­ted with external power supply: Use only a
safety extra-low voltage in accordance with
IEC/EN 60950-1 to power the system.

䡺 First of all you connect the ground
connection, before you establish the further
connections. When you remove connec­tions, you disconnect the ground connec­tion last.

䡺 The device does not contain any service
components. If the device is not functioning
correctly, or if it is damaged, switch off the
voltage supply and return the device to the
plant for inspection.
