Power LED

On all models (except the splitter) there is one power LED that is ON if either power input (P1
or P2) has valid power applied to it. If the power LED is OFF then no power is being applied
to the unit.

On the splitter the power LED will be ON when PoE power is detected on the incoming
Ethernet line. It will be OFF if no PoE power is detected.

ACT / LNK
LED

This is the Yellow LED in the RJ45 ports of the Etherbus switch model EB-5ES-PSE-#. It
indicates the Link and Activity status of the port.

ON (yellow)

(not flashing)

Indicates that there is a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the
port and another Ethernet device, but no communications activity is
detected.

ON (yellow)

(flashing)

Indicates that there is a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the
port and another Ethernet device, and that there is communications
activity.

OFF

Indicates that there is not a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between
the port and another Ethernet device. Make sure the cable has been
plugged securely into the ports at both ends.

Speed 10/100
LED

This is the Green LED in the RJ45 connector of Port 5 on the Etherbus switch model EB­5ES-PSE-1. It indicates the Speed of the uplink port.

ON (green)

A 100 Mbps (100BaseT) connection is detected.

OFF

A 10 Mbps (10BaseT) connection is detected.

Fiber Optic
Port LED

This is the Green LED above the fiber port on the Etherbus switch model EB-5ES-PSE-2 or -

3. It indicates the Link status of the fiber optic port.

ON (green)

A 100 Mbps (100BaseF) connection is detected.

OFF

No fiber connection is detected.

PoE LED

This is the Green LED that is either integrated into the RJ45 port (on switch models) or is
below the PoE ports (on injector models). It indicates the PoE status of the port.

ON (green)

A valid Powered Device (PD) is detected and the switch or injector is
sourcing power on this port.

OFF

No valid Powered Device (PD) is detected so no power is being sourced.

Periodically
Blinks ON

No valid Powered Device (PD) is detected or the connected device is
drawing too little current (<10 mA) so no power is being sourced.
However, the switch or injector is periodically looking for a valid device.
This condition may occur when you have connected a PoE splitter but it
has not been connected to a load yet. Once the connected device (such
as a splitter) is loaded and draws more than 10 or 15 mA then power
will be sourced.

Error Code
Blink

Some models may blink an error code. If you see the same sequence of
blinks repeatedly then contact RED LION for more information.

Section 4

Power Wiring

Overview

These industrial Ethernet devices can be powered from the same DC source (typically 24
VDC or 48 VDC) that is used to power your other devices. Refer to the details below on how
to properly wire power to or from your Etherbus devices.

Screw Torque

When tightening the screws be careful to tighten to a maximum torque of 3.48 lb-in.

Switch Power

The Etherbus switch accepts power in the range of 10 to 56 VDC (48 VDC nominal) and can
source 48 VDC power to four PoE devices. For PoE sourcing (PSE) operation, the power
must be in the range of 45 to 56 VDC. Otherwise, the switch will function properly as an
industrial Ethernet switch but will not source any PoE power. For PoE operation, make sure
your 48 VDC supply is rated for at least 16 Watts per PoE channel being sourced, plus some
overhead for the switch. It is recommended that a supply with 75 Watts or more of power be
used. The Etherbus switch supports dual power inputs allowing you to connect a backup
power source. The backup power should have the same voltage as the primary power. Make
your power connections as shown in the diagram below.

The PoE ports when sourcing power will put out 48 VDC* (see note below) over the signal
pair of the RJ45 connection:

o V+ on RX lines 1 and 2
o V- on TX lines 3 and 6
o Lines 4, 5, 7 and 8 are unused

Power

The Etherbus Dual Injector accepts power in the range of 45 to 56 VDC (48 VDC nominal)
and can source 48 VDC power to two PoE devices. Make sure your 48 VDC supply is rated
for at least 16 Watts per PoE channel being sourced. Make your power connections as
shown in the diagram below.

There are two models of this injector:
The standard -2A model when sourcing PoE power will put out 48 VDC* (see note below) over

the unused pair of lines in the RJ45 connection:

o V+ on lines 4 and 5
o V- on lines 7 and 8
o TX on lines 3 and 6
o RX on lines 1 and 2

The -2B model (special order) when sourcing PoE power will put out 48 VDC* (see note

Single Injector
Power

The Etherbus Single Injector has a built-in DC to DC converter allowing it to accept power in
the range of 18 to 30 VDC (24 VDC nominal) and source 48 VDC power to one PoE device.
Make sure your 24 VDC supply is rated for at least 20W. Make your power connections as
shown in the diagram below.

Section 5

Communication Wiring

PoE Switch
Operation

Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages
out all ports, the Etherbus industrial Ethernet PoE
switch will intelligently route Ethernet messages only
out the appropriate port. The major benefits of this are
increased bandwidth and speed, reduction or
elimination of message collisions, and deterministic
performance when tied with real-time systems.

The switch can support 10BaseT (10 Mbps) and
100BaseT (100 Mbps) on the RJ45 ports. Each of
these ports will independently auto-sense the speed
and duplex, allowing you to interface to fast (100
Mbps) Ethernet devices or legacy (10 Mbps).
Optionally you can also have a 100BaseF (100 Mbps)
fiber optic port.

PoE Switch
Overview

The Etherbus industrial Ethernet PoE switch provides connections to standard Ethernet
devices such as PLCs, Ethernet I/O, industrial computers and much more. Two types of
communication ports may be found on these switches: RJ45 (copper) Ethernet ports or fiber
optic Ethernet ports.

Switch RJ45
Port Wiring

Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5 (or better) with
standard RJ45 connectors. For best performance use shielded cable. Straight through or
crossover RJ45 cable can be used regardless of the device the switch is to be connected to
as all the ports are capable of auto-mdi/mdix-crossover detection.

The RJ45 Ethernet port connector bodies on these products are metallic and are connected
to the Chassis GND terminal. Therefore, shielded cables may be used to provide further
protection. To prevent ground loops, the cable shield should be tied to the metal connector
body at one end of the cable only. Electrical isolation is also provided on the Ethernet ports
for increased reliability.

Red Lion Controls  331 Ushers Road  Ballston Lake, NY 12019  USA  [phone]  [e-mail]

Fiber Wiring
Guidelines

The Etherbus industrial Ethernet PoE switch optionally has one 100 Mbps (100Base-FX)
multimode or singlemode fiber ports. The maximum segment length is up to 120 km or more
depending on the type of fiber optic transceiver installed in the switch. Refer to the technical
specifications for details. Or contact RED LION for the available fiber optic transceivers.

Each fiber optic port on the switch is comprised of a pair of SC or ST style connectors. For
each fiber port there is a transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal. When making your fiber optic
connections, make sure that the transmit (TX) port of the switch connects to the receive (RX)
port of the other device, and the receive (RX) port of the switch connects to the transmit (TX)
port of the other device.

Use standard fiber optic wiring techniques (not covered by this manual) to make your
connections. The corresponding ACT/LNK LED will be ON solid when you have made a
proper connection. See images below for typical fiber optic port placement.

Duplex
Operation

The RJ45 ports will auto-sense for Full or Half duplex operation, while the fiber port is
configured for full duplex operation. Note: Fiber devices with half duplex settings should still
communicate with the switch. If otherwise then please contact RED LION.

Network
Device Check

These industrial Ethernet switches are capable of supporting 10/100BaseT on the RJ45
(copper) ports and 100BaseF on the fiber optic ports. Make sure you connect the appropriate
devices to each port.

Verifying
Connectivity

After all Ethernet and/or fiber connections are made, check the LED’s corresponding to the
ports that each of the devices are connected to. Ensure that for each port that is in use, the
LED is on or blinking. If a port LED is off, go back and check for connectivity problems
between that port and the network device connected.

PoE Injector
RJ45 Wiring

The Etherbus industrial Ethernet PoE injectors have two RJ45 connectors per PoE channel.
See the diagram below. One RJ45 port is labeled as ETH IN (for Ethernet Input) and the other
is Labeled as PoE OUT (for PoE Output). Connect your standard Ethernet (non-PoE) cable to
the ETH IN port. This cable is typically coming from an Ethernet switch or router. Then
connect the cable to be run to your PoE Powered device (PD) to the PoE OUT port. The PoE
LED will be ON when power is being sourced to your device.

PoE Splitter
RJ45 Wiring

The Etherbus industrial Ethernet PoE splitter has two RJ45 ports. See the diagram below.
One RJ45 port is labeled PoE IN (for PoE input) and the other is labeled ETH OUT (for
Ethernet output). Connect the cable from your PoE (PSE) switch or injector to the PoE IN
port. Then connect the cable to be run to your standard Ethernet (non-PoE) device to the
ETH OUT port which does not have any power on it.
