This manual covers the ESUL5 series. The KBC ESUL5 products are high
performance, unmanaged, five port industrial Ethernet switches designed for
use in a wide range of operating temperatures in non-environmentally
conditioned, industrial applications. The units have redundant power supply
terminals. All copper ports are automatically configured and the plug-and-play
design provides ease and speed of installation.
1.1.1 ESUL5
The ESUL5 is an entry level switch which provides five 10/100 RJ45 twisted pair
copper ports. Each port supports a self adaptive function allowing it to be
configured to 10Base-T or 100Base-TX, full or half duplex operation mode. It is
available as either DIN rail or wall-mount configurations.
Ethernet switch fitted with DIN rail mount.
24Vdc PSU (terminal block is connected to 24Vdc power lines)
Wall-mount bracket
Flat head screwdriver
User manual
Please contact you dealer or distributor if a part is missing or damaged.
2.2 Configurations
Products are available in either DIN rail or wall-mount packages, with the following
configurations:
Remove all packaging material.
Attach the device to a DIN rail.
Attach copper cables as required.
Insert the male power block (attached to the supplied in-line PSU) to the
female power socket on the device and tighten the terminal locking screws
using the flathead screw driver provided.
See Section 2.7 for LED status.
Figure 2.1 Dimensional drawings for DIN Rail mounting (mm)
Each RJ45 port is adaptive and supports auto MDI/MDI-X connection. They can be
connected by straight through or cross-over cables to terminal devices, servers, hubs or
other switches. Each switch supports IEEE802.3x so the optimum transmission mode
(either half-duplex or full-duplex) and data rate (either 10Mbps or 100Mbps) will be
selected automatically. The connected devices should support this feature too however, if
the connected devices are not adaptive, the port will send at the correct rate but with a
default mode of half duplex.
2.5 Power Connections
A 5 pin, 5.08mm power terminal block should be used to connect the power cable to
the unit.
Figure 2.3 Power connections
2.6 Grounding Connections
The ESUL5 has a grounding screw located on the top panel of the switch (see Figure 2.4)
this is used for chassis grounding. One end of the chassis grounding cable should be
connected to the grounding screw and the other end of the cable needs to be earthed.
The cross section area of the chassis grounding cable should be more than 2.5mm2 , the
grounding resistance needs to be <5Ω.
The grounding found on the 5 pin, 5.08mm power terminal block is the surge grounding
connection. The surge grounding and the chassis grounding need to be connected as
shown below for the surge protection circuit to operate.
Each RJ45 Ethernet port has two indicators, a yellow lamp and a green lamp. The
yellow lamp indicates port speed, and the green lamp indicates port link state.
