Moxa EtherDeviceTM Switch
EDS-P510A-8PoE Series
Hardware Installation Guide
First Edition, January 2013

- 2 -
Overview
The Moxa EDS-P510A-8PoE series switches are Gigabit managed PoE+
Ethernet switches that come standard with eight 10/100BaseT(X),
802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) compliant Ethernet ports and two
combo Gigabit Ethernet ports. The EDS-P510A-8PoE Ethernet switches
provide up to 30 watts of power per PoE+ port in standard mode, and
allow high power output of up to 36 watts for industrial heavy-duty PoE
devices, such as weather-proof IP surveillance cameras with
wipers/heaters, high-performance wireless access points, and rugged IP
phones. The EDS-P510A-8PoE Ethernet switches are highly versatile, and
the SFP fiber ports can transmit data up to 120 km from the device to the
control center with high EMI immunity. The Ethernet switches support a
variety of management functions, including STP/RSTP, TurboRing, Turbo
Chain, PoE power management, PoE device auto-checking, PoE power
scheduling, IGMP, VLAN, QoS, RMON, bandwidth management, and port
mirroring. The EDS-P510A-8PoE series is designed especially for outdoor
harsh environment applications with 3KV surge resistance to keep
continuous reliability of the PoE systems.

Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the EDS-P510A-8PoE when you take it out of the box. If you
need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the EDS-P510A-8PoE,
make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown by
the following figures.
-Rail into the slot just below
unit will snap into place as shown in
the following illustration.
To remove the EDS-P510A-8PoE 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-P510A-8PoE on the wall, as shown in the following illustrations:
STEP 1—Remove the
aluminum DIN
attachment plate from the
rear panel
then attach the wall
mount plates
STEP 2—Mounting the EDS-P510A-8PoE on the wall
requires 4 screws. Use the EDS
mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct
locations of the 4 screws. The
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
apertures, and then slide
-P510A-8PoE downwards, as
the right.

Wiring Requirements
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
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
-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC60950
1 (or
similar regulation).
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 code
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.
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-P510A-8PoE
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-P510A-8PoE has one relay output. The relay contact uses two
contacts of the terminal block on the EDS-P510A-8PoE’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.
FAULT:
The relay contacts
of the 2-pin terminal block
connector are used to detect user
The two wires attached to the
open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered.
If a user
-configured event does not occur, the fault
ns closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The EDS-P510A-8PoE has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and
power input 2. The two terminal block connectors on the top-left of the
EDS-P510A-8PoE's top panel are used for the two power inputs. 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
-/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.
Insert the plastic terminal block connector
prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is
located on
the EDS-P510A-8PoE’s top panel.

Wiring the Digital Inputs
The EDS-P510A-8PoE has one digital input. The DI consists of two
contacts on the terminal block connector on the EDS-P510A-8PoE’s
top-right panel. 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.
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.
Insert the plastic terminal block connector
prongs into the terminal block receptor, which is
located on
the EDS-P510A-8PoE’s top panel.
Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-P510A-8PoE series switches 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 20 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-P510A-8PoE that can help set up 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 DIP Switch section and Using
Communication Redundancy
section in User’s Manual for
ion about the settings and usage of Turbo

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
switches to be
the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically
choose the EDS
-P510A-8PoE with the smallest MAC address
range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than
one EDS
-P510A-8PoE to be the Ring Master, these
-P510A-8PoE switches will auto-negotiate to determine
which one will be the Ring Master.
LED Indicators
The front panel of the Moxa EDS-P510A-8PoE contains several LED
indicators. The function of each LED is described in the following table:
