Dimensions; unit = mm (inch)

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel
of the IMC-101G when you take it out of the box. If you nee d to reattach
the DIN-rail attachment plate to the IMC-101G, make sure the stiff metal
spring is situated towards the top, as shown in t h e figures below.

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN

rail into

the slot just below

the stiff metal

spring.

STEP 2:

The DIN

-rail attachment unit will

snap into place as shown below.

To remove the IMC-101G from the DIN ra il, reverse steps 1 and 2 above.

- 5 -

Wall Mounting (Optional)

For some applications, you will find it conv enient to mount the IMC-101G
on the wall, as illustrated below.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum
DIN

-rail attachment plate

from

the IMC-101G and

then attach the wall-mount
plates, as shown in the
diagrams below.

STEP 2:

Mounting

the IMC-101G on the wall requires four

screws. Use the IMC

-101G, with wall-mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct loca tions of
the

four

screws. The heads of the screws sho uld 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

the

right.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole

-shaped apertures of the wall-

mounting plates,

before it is screwed into the wall.

Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave a space of 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 in the wall,
insert the four screw heads through
the

large parts of the

keyhole-shaped apertures and then
slide

the IMC-101G downwards, as

indicated

in the diagram

. Tighten the

four screws for added stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Do not disconnect modules or wires unless

the power has been

switched off

or the area is known to be nonhazardous. The

devices may only be connected to the supply vo ltage shown on
the type plate.

These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as defined in
the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC.

ATTENTION

This unit is a built

-in type. It must comply with fire enclosure

stipulations of IEC60950

-1/EN60950-1, or similar statements,

when installed in certain end equipment.

- 7 -

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the
maximum

allowed current

for each wire size. If the current goes

above the

allowed maximum

, the wiring could overheat, causing

serious damage to your equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following points:

• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires a re
perpendicular at the point of intersection.
NOTE: Do not run signal or communicat ions wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, w ires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• You can use the type of signal transmitted thro u gh 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.

• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

• It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system

when necessary.

Grounding the IMC-101G

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the groun d connect ion from th e
grounding screw to the grounding surface before connecting devices.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well

-grounded

mounting surface such as a metal panel.

WARNING

HOT SURFACE

, DO NOT TOUCH!! Before touching the surface,

make sure it has cooled sufficiently so as not

to damage your

skin, or wear gloves designed to protect against heat.

This equipment is intended to be used in a Restricted Acc ess Location that
is only accessible by SERVICE PERSONNEL or by USERS who have been
instructed that the metal chassis of the equipment is so hot that
appropriate precautions should be taken before touch ing it. The
Restricted Access Location should only be accessib le through t he use of a
key or security identity system.

Wiring the Alarm Contact

The Alarm Contact is made up of the two middle contacts of the terminal
block on the IMC-101G’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 explain the meaning of the two contacts used to
connect the alarm contact.

FAULT: The two middle contacts of the
6

-contact terminal block connector are

used to
detect both power faults and port faults. The
two wires attached to the

fault contacts form

an open circuit when

:

1.

The IMC-101G

has lost power from one of

the DC power inputs.

OR

2.

One of the ports for which the

corresponding PORT ALARM DIP Swit

ch is

set to ON is not properly connected.

If neither of these two conditions

is met, the

f

ault circuit will be closed.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-contact
terminal block connector on the IMC-101G’s top panel are used for the
IMC-101G’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the t erminal
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 w ires from pulling loose, use a
small flat

-blade screwdriver to tighten the

wire-clamp screws on the front of the termina l
block connector.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector

prongs into the terminal block receptor, which
is located on the

IMC-101G’s top panel.

NOTE

Use copper conduct ors only; 12-28 AWG gauge, 4.5 in-lb torque.

ATTENTION

Before connecting the IMC

-101G

to the DC power inputs, make

sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

- 9 -

Communication Connections

All IMC-101G models have one 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet port and
one 1000Base SFP fiber port.

10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports located on the IMC-101G’s front panel
are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devic es. Below we show pinout s
for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/switch-type) ports, and
also show cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and crossover
Ethernet cables.

1000BaseSFP Fiber Port

The gigabit Ethernet ports on the IMC-101G are 1000BaseSFP fiber ports,
which require using gigabit mini-GBIC fiber tran sceivers to work properly.

The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose 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 d evice
I to device II, and the other optical line is used to transmit data from
device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.

Remember to connect the Tx (tra nsmit) port of device I to the Rx (r eceive)
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 Pinouts

LC-Port to LC-Port Cable Wiring

Optical transc eiv ers installed in the field should be UL certified, Class I
category, with a clearly visible CDRH certification marking on the
transceiver equivalent to: “Complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11”.

Redundant Power Inputs

Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power
sources. If one power source fails, the oth er live source act s as a back up
and automatically supplies all of the IMC-101G’s power needs.

- 11 -

Alarm Contact

The IMC-101G has one alarm contact located on the top panel. For
detailed instructions on how to connect t he alarm contact power w ires to
the two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block connector, see
the “Wiring the Alarm Contact” section above. A typ ical scenario would be
to connect the fault circuit to a warning light located in the control room.
The light can be configured to switch on when a fault is detected.

The alarm contact has two terminals that form a fault circuit for
connecting to an alarm system. The two wires att ached to the fault
contacts form an open circuit when (1) the IMC-101G has lost power from
one of the DC power inputs, or (2) one of the TP/SFP ports for which the
corresponding PORT ALARM DIP Switch is set to ON is not properly
connected. If neither of these two conditions occurs, the fault circuit will
be closed.

IMC-101G DIP Switch Setting

NOTE

To activate updated DIP switch settings, power off and then
power on the IMC-101G.

Dip Switch 1

(Default: Off)

On:

Enables the PORT ALARM. If the product

experiences a power failure, or the Ethernet port
link fails,

the relay will form an open circuit and the

fault LED will light up.

Off:

Disables the corresponding PORT ALARM. The

relay will form a closed circuit and the f

ault LED will

never light up.

Dip Switch 2
(Default: On)

On: Enables LFP (Link Fault Pass-through). To enable

the IMC-101 for LFP, set the SFP port to Auto

mode.

Off:

Disables LFP (Link Fault Pass-through)

Dip Switch 3
(Default: On)

On:

SFP port in Auto (auto-negotiation) mode

Off:

Forces SFP port to 1000M

Dip Switch 4

Reserved for future use

ATTENTION

When Force mode is used, the LFP function will be disabled.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the IMC-101G’s
10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without
paying attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the
connection. This means that you can use either a straight-through cable
or crossover cable to connect the IMC-101G to Eth erne t devices.

Dual-Speed Functionality and Switching

The IMC-101G’s 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 switched port auto negotiates
with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate
supported by both devices. All mo dels of the IMC-101G are plug-and-play
devices, so that software configuration is not required at installation, or
during maintenance. The half-duplex or full-duplex mode for the RJ45
switched ports is user dependent and chang es (by auto-negotiation) to
full-duplex or half-duplex, depending on which transmission speed is
supported by the attached device.

Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing

All of the IMC-101G’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support
auto-negotiation for transmission speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps , and
1000 Mbps, with operation according to the IEEE 802.3u standard.

This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at th e
same time, other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.

- 13 -

Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made.
Each time a LINK is enabled, the IMC-101G advertises its capability for
using 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps transmission speeds, with the
device at the other end of the cable e xpected to advertise similarly.
Depending on what type of device is connected, thi s will result in
agreement to operate at a speed of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps.

If an IMC-101G’s RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating
device, it will default to 10 M bps speed and half-duplex mod e, as required
by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
