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.
