of the DIN r
STEP 1—Pull down the latch
on the mounting kit
forward and lift up to remove
it from the DIN r
Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the
EDS-P506E-4PoE Series on a wall (in an enclosure or industrial panel), as
shown in the following illustrations:
aluminum DIN rail attachment
plate from the rear panel
and then attach the wall
mount plates

STEP 2—Mounting the EDS-P506E-4PoE Series on the
wall requires 4 screws. Use the
, 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.
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
at the right. Tighten the four
Industrial Control Panel and
the ambient temperature should not exceed 75°C.
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate. The devices are designed for operation with a
S
oltage. Thus, they may only be connected to
the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with the
S
afety Extra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/
-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply w
ith fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or

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.
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-P506E-4PoE 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.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The EDS-P506E-4PoE Series has one set of relay output. This relay
contact uses two contacts of the terminal block on the EDS-P506E-4PoE’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.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs (12/24/48
VDC)
The EDS-P506E-4PoE 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
To keep the DC wires from
pulling loose, use a small
screwdriver to tighten the wire
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
EDS-P506E-4PoE’s top panel.
Please use a power supply defined by SELV or one that complies
with the double insulation under the UL 60950, UL 61010-1, UL
61010-2-201 standards.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The EDS-P506E-4PoE Series has one set of digital input (DI). The DI
consists of two contacts of the 4-pin terminal block connector on the
EDS-P506E-4PoE '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.
To keep the DI wires from
pulling loose, use a small flat
screwdriver to tighten the wire
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
EDS-P506E-4PoE’s top panel.
Suggested Wire Type for Wiring Relay Contact (R), Digital
Input (DI) and Power Inputs (P1/P2)
The switch includes two 4-pins 5 mm pin-pitch terminal blocks. When
wiring the relay contact (R), digital input (DI) and power inputs (P1/P2),
we suggest using the cable type - AWG (American Wire Gauge) 12-28 and
the corresponding pin type cable terminals.

The wire must be able to withstand at least 105°C and the torque
value should be 4.5 lb
o not use excessive force
when fixing the wiring.
Communication Connections
Each EDS-P506E-4PoE series switch has 4 types of communication ports:
• 1 USB console port (type B connector)
• 1 USB storage port (type A connector)
• 4 10/100 60W PoE+ Ethernet ports
• 2 100/1000Base SFP slots
• 2 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
USB Console Connection
The EDS-P506E-4PoE 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-P506E-4PoE's console port to your PC's USB

100/1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port
The Gigabit Ethernet ports on the EDS-P506E-4PoE 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).
LC-Port to LC-Port Cable Wiring
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing serious
damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the Laser Beam.
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-P506E-4PoE 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-P506E-4PoE, the Ethernet switch will start backing up current
system configuration files and event logs to the ABC-02-USB.
Do NOT power off the Ethernet switch when loading default
settings.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-P506E-4PoE 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-P506E-4PoE 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.
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.

You must enable the Turbo Ring function first before using the
DIP switch to activate the Master and Coupler functions.
If you do not enable any of the EDS-P506E-4PoE Series switches
to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically
choose the
EDS-P506E-4PoE Series with the smallest MAC
address range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable
more than one
EDS-P506E-4PoE Series to be the Ring Master,
EDS-P506E-4PoE Series switches will auto-negotiate to
determine which one will be the Ring Master.
LED Indicators
