Overview: 500 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches

The 500 Series Industrial Ethernet Switches support high speed layer 2 switching between ports.

The 508TX (516TX)(524TX) is an affordable 8 (16)(24) port switch that is capable of auto negotiating 10/100 Mb and half/full duplex communications. The N-TRON 508TX (516TX)(524TX) is housed in a ruggedized steel enclosure, and provides 8 (16)(24) Category 5 compliant 10/100-BaseTX connections for high performance network design, and hub/repeater upgrades.

The 509FX (517FX)(526FX) is a 9 (17)(26) port switch that has 8 (16)(24) ports identical to the 508TX (516TX)(524TX), plus an additional multimode fiber optic up-link port in the 509FX and 517FX, and two additional multimode fiber optic up-link ports in the 526FX. These fiber links are capable of 2 Kilometers of 100 Mb communications without the use of repeaters.

The 509FXE (517FXE) (526FXE) is a 9 (17)(26) port switch that is similar to the 509FX (517FX) (526FX), but with extended range. The FXE versions utilize a singlemode fiber transceiver that is capable of 15-80 Kilometers of 200 Mb communications.

The 508FX2 is an 8 port switch that has 6 copper ports plus two additional multimode fiber optic up-link ports. The 508FXE2 is similar to the 508FX2 , but is populated with singlemode extended range fiber optics.

All FX, FX2, FXE, and FXE2 models utilize the IEEE compliant SC or ST duplex connector for fiber optic communications. The 10/100Base-TX ports utilize the RJ45 shielded connector.

All N-TRON switches come housed in a steel ruggedized Din-Rail enclosure, designed to withstand the most demanding industrial applications, and have been fully tested and certified at industrial environmental extremes. All 500 Series Units operate on 10-30VDC.

N-Tron Switch Grounding Techniques

The grounding philosophy of any control system is an integral part of the design. N-Tron switches are designed to be grounded, but the user has been given the flexibility to float the switch when required. The best noise immunity and emissions (i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.

Both V- legs of the power input connector are connected to chassis internally on the PCB. Connecting a drain wire to earth ground from one of the V- terminal plugs as shown here will ground the switch and the chassis. The power leads from the power source should be limited to 3 meters or less in length.

As an alternate, users can run a drain wire & lug from any of the DinRail screws or empty PEM nuts on the enclosure. When using an unused PEM nut to connect a ground lug via a machine screw, care should be taken to limit the penetration of the outer skin by less than 1/4 in. Failure to do so may cause irreversible damage to the internal components of the switch. Please note that the minimum cross-

sectional area of the grounding conductor must be at least 4mm2 and it must be suitable for use in temperature of 110°C.

Note: Ensure the power supply is grounded properly before applying power to the grounded switch. This may be verified by using a voltmeter to determine that there is no voltage difference between the

power supply‟s negative output terminal and the chassis grounding

point of the switch.

If the use of shielded cables is required, it is generally recommended to only connect the shield at one end to prevent ground loops and interfere with low level signals (i.e. thermocouples, RTD, etc.). Cat5e cables manufactured to EIA-568A or 568B specifications are required for use with N-Tron Switches.

In the event all Cat5e patch cable distances are small (i.e. All Ethernet devices are located the same local cabinet and/or referenced to the same earth ground), it is permissible to use fully shielded cables terminated to chassis ground at both ends in systems void of low level analog signals.

For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. The TX port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port on the FX/FXE versions should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.

For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end

to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED‟s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect

any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Category 5 straight through or crossover cable.

Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!

Note: For units which have the N-View Option, you can validate that all ports are working correctly by installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the ProductCD and our website (http://www.n-tron.com/pdf/nview_opc_user_guide.pdf). Once the software is installed, you should view the Ports Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port. You may find it helpful to copy [Alt]+[Print Screen] the Port Counter information for each port and paste [Control]+[V] into a Windows document for further review. Please consult your N-View OPC Server Manual for additional information.

Serial Interface

The 500 series switches provide an EIA-232 interface accessed via a 9 pin female connector (labeled „COM‟ on the unit). This is used to access the Command Line Interpreter (CLI). The pin-outs are shown below:

Serial Cable

Connect the serial COM port of your PC and the 500 Series Switch using a standard straight through cable. You will require a cable with a 9-pin or 25-pin sub-D female connector for the PC end, and a 9-pin male sub-D connector for the series 500 end. The following table shows the pin-out and the connections for both types of cable:

Shielded cables and null modems are readily available from Radio Shack or a variety of computer shops.

(Revised 2011-07-13)

HyperTerminal

The following configuration should be used in HyperTerminal:

Port Settings: 9600 Data Bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow Control: None

Troubleshooting

1. Make sure the (Power LED) is ON.

2. Make sure you are supplying sufficient current for the version chosen.

3. Verify that Link LED‟s are ON for connected ports.

4. Verify cabling used between stations.

5. Verify that cabling is Category 5E or greater for 100Mbit Operation.

6. For FX/FXE models, verify TX is connected to far end RX and vise versa. Also insure the

connecting partner is 100Mb/s IEEE 100BaseFX compliant. Note: the 500 Series FX/FXE

switches do not support the 10BaseFL standard.
