Overview
We describe two products in this manual:
The Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-P308 Series is an 8-port sma rt Ethernet
switch that provides an economical solution for your Eth ernet connections.
The switch supports PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) on ports 1 to 4, which
means that the EDS-P308 Series can double as a piece of power source
equipment (PSE). When used in this way, the EDS-P308 Series can supply
up to 15.4 watts of power per port, and can pow er IEEE 802.3af compliant
powered devices (PD), eliminating the need for additional wiring. The
EDS-P308 Series switch is highly versatile, and its FX fiber port can
transmit data up to 40 km from the device to th e control center with high
EMI immunity. As an added bonus, the built-in smart alarm function h elps
system maintainers monitor the health of your Ethernet net work.
The SPL-24 plays the role of PD, and splits the data signal and power
signal that are transmitted from the PSE. The SPL-24 plays a dual role of
providing power to industrial devices, a nd enabling Ethernet connections.
The EDS-P308 and SPL-24 have a wide operati ng temperature range of
-40 to 75°C, and are designed to withstand a high degree of vibration and
shock. The rugged hardware design makes the EDS-P308 Series and
SPL-24 perfect for ensuring that your Ethern et equipment can operate in
critical industrial environments, such as in hazardous locations, and
complies with FCC and CE standards.
The installation of the EDS-P308 Series is presented on pages 3 to 11. The
installation of the SPL-24 is presented on pages 11 to 15.
Throughout this Hardware Installation Guide, we use EDS as an
abbreviation for Moxa EtherDevice Switch, and we use SPL as a n
abbreviation for Moxa PoE Splitter:
EDS = Moxa EtherDevice Switch

Wiring Requirements
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless the power supply ha s
been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply vo ltage shown on
the type plate. The devices a
re designed for operation with a
Safety Extra-Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to
the supply voltage connections and to th e signal contact with the
Safety Extra
-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC

in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950
sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
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.
You should also pay attention to the following items:
• 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 communicat ions wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separat ely.
• You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to
determine which wires should be k ept separat e. The ru le of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
• Keep the input wiring and the output wiring separa ted.
• It is strongly advised that you label the wiring to all devices in the
system when necessary.

DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the EDS-P308 Series when you take it out of th e box. If you
need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff meta l
spring is situated towards the top, as shown in t h e figures below.
STEP 1:
Insert the top of the DIN

the stiff metal spring.

To remove the Moxa EtherDevice Switch from the DIN-Rail, simply
reverse Steps 1 and 2 above.
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount EDS-P308
Series on the wall, as illustrated below.
panel, and then attach the
wall mount plates, as shown
in the diagram below.
P308 on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the switch, with wall mount pla
attached, as a guide to mark the c orrect 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 t he figure at the right.
Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into 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 wa l l 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
apertures, and then slide the EDS
downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four
screws for added stability.
Grounding the EDS-P308 Series
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the groun d connect ion from th e
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to con nect ing devices.
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
EDS-P308 Series’ Redundant Power Inputs
Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power
sources. If one power source fa ils, the other live source act s as a backup,
and automatically supplies all of EDS-P308 Series’s power needs.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-contact
terminal block connector on EDS’s top panel are used for EDS’s two DC
inputs. Top and front views of one of the term inal block connectors are
shown here.

EDS-P308 Series’ Alarm Contact
The EDS-P308 Series has one alarm contact located on its top pane l. For
detailed instructions on how to connect t he alarm conta ct power wir es to
the two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block connector, see
the Wiring the Alarm Contact section on page 10. A typical scenario would
be to connect the Fault circuit to a warning light located in the control
room. The light can be set up 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) EDS has lost power from one of
the DC power inputs, or (2) one of the 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.

the port’s link fails, the relay will form an

Wiring the Alarm Contact
The alarm contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal
block on EDS’s top panel. Refer to below 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 b lo ck receptor. In this
section, we explain the meaning of the two c ontact s use d to conn ect th e
