Section 1

General Information

Switch
Overview

This manual will help you install, configure and maintain the 5-port IP67 industrial
Ethernet switches. These switches are offered in Ring or Unmanaged models. Both are
completely plug and play and ready to go right out of the box.

Unlike an Ethernet hub that broadcasts all messages out all ports, these advanced switches
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.

These switches support both 10BaseT (10 Mbps) and 100BaseTx (100 Mbps) on their
RJ45 ports. Each port independently auto-senses the speed, duplex, polarity and cabling
(straight or crossed) make them truly plug and play.

Accessory
Overview

This manual will help you install and maintain the IP67 industrial Ethernet accessories.
These cables, connectors and plugs are design to meet the same rugged requirements as the
switch. They utilize a Reverse Bayonet latching method which makes them quick and easy
to install. The plugs are field-installable and don’t require any special tools.

Ring
Overview

The Ring model has all the capabilities of the real-time unmanaged switch with the
addition of rapid recovery ring support, priority queuing, port mirroring and more. The
Ring Switch allows you to implement the traditional star topology or a ring topology to
take advantage of network path redundancy. The switch can be used right out of the box
without configuration; or through some simple configuration steps, some powerful
managed switch features can be enabled such as traffic prioritization and port mirroring.

Ring
Operation

In the Ring model, messages are intelligently
routed for the sake of increasing the
efficiency and reliability of your network.
Unlike an Ethernet hub, a switch will forward
packets to specific ports to reduce
unnecessary traffic on network paths, thus
optimizing network efficiency. Most
importantly, by using a Ring Switch, you can
implement redundant paths in a network by
allowing ring topology (for a more resilient
network). Ring topology is important in path
redundancy because no matter where in the

ring that a path gets “cut”, all devices

connected to a node in the ring will still be
able to communicate with each other.

The unmanaged model cannot be used in ring
topologies because of broadcast storms.
Broadcast storms can bring a network to a
stop if conventional switches or hubs are
being used in a ring topology because of
broadcast message reproduction. Using Ring
Switches in the loop will prevent broadcast
storms because they have the intelligence to
detect loops and to assign the necessary ports
to be in the backup (disabled) state. These
backup ports will be instantly enabled should
the primary path in their respective ring fail.

LED Indicators

Overview

The IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch has communication LEDs for each port and power
LEDs for each input terminal. In addition, on ring models two LEDS (OK and Ring)
provide switch and network status. Refer to the pictures below for the LED locations.

Unmanaged IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Ring IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Power LEDs

There are two power LEDs on the switch that are labeled as P1 and P2. These indicate if
primary and/or secondary power is present.

OK LED
(ring model)

Ring model only:
The OK LED is a multifunctional indicator, which has several states defined below.

Note: The OK LED and OK Output do not always coincide. In general the OK LED

will always indicate any type of error condition. However, the OK Output can be

configured using the Ethernet Switch Tools to only indicate the errors you define.

ON solid:

The OK LED will be in a steady ON state when both P1 and P2 power inputs are powered
and that all configured rings have continuous ring integrity.

OFF completely:
The OK LED will be OFF if either P1 and/or P2 are not powered, or if any one of the active
rings for which this switch is a member of encounters a segment failure.

Blinking:
The OK LED can blink at different rates.

 Continuous rapid blinking: To verify communication and target switch selection,

you can request the switch to “wink” its OK LED to visually identify the unit.

 Rapid blinking, with a single short pause: Should the OK LED blink rapidly for

about 5 sec and then pause for about 1 second, this indicates that the switch is in
the boot-up process such as on power-up, when loading firmware or when resetting
the switch.

 Long OFF, short ON: If the OK LED is OFF for about 1.9 seconds and ON for .1

seconds, an internal error has occurred in the unit. Try cycling power or resetting
the switch from the configuration utility.

Ring LED
(ring model)

Ring model only:
The Ring LED is a multifunctional indicator that shows four states.

ON solid:
The Ring LED will be ON when all rings enabled in the switch have continuous ring
integrity.

OFF completely:
The switch has not been configured for any rings.

Blinking: (50% OFF – 50% ON)
One or more rings have been configured for the switch, but a break has been discovered for
one or more of the configured rings. Neighboring Ring Switches are responding, so the
break is at another location.

Blip: (Long OFF – Short ON)
One or more configured rings have been broken. The break has been detected to be local to
one of the ports. Diagnostically speaking; in simple rings, the segment with the problem
will be between the two switches with their ring LEDs in the blip state. Also, you can
ascertain the general location of where the segment error has occurred with a HMI, a master
controller, or some other MODBUS Master through MODBUS over Ethernet polling. Find
out more details about MODBUS diagnostics in section 7 of this manual.

ACT / LNK/
10/100 Mbps
LEDs

Activity, link, and port speed indication is combined into one LED per port. The port states
are described below:

ON solid:
This would indicate that there is a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the port and
another Ethernet device, but no communications activity is detected.

OFF completely:
This would indicate that there is not a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the port
and another Ethernet device. Make sure the proper cable type is in use and that it has been
plugged securely into the ports at both ends. See section 5 for proper Ethernet cabling.

Blinking:
This would indicate that there is a proper Ethernet connection (Link) between the port and
another Ethernet device, and that there is communications activity.

Red:
1000 Mbps (1000BaseT) connection is detected.

Green:
100 Mbps (100BaseT) connection is detected.

Yellow:
10 Mbps (10BaseT) connection is detected.

Installation

Switch
Installation

The IP67 Industrial Ethernet Switch can be fastened to any flat surface by using the
supplied mounting ears or by mounting the box directly. Refer to the mechanical drawings
below. Make sure to allow enough room to route your Ethernet and power cables.

Note: The switch is typically shipped with
the mounting ears unattached. To attach
these ears or to mount the box directly you
must remove the four cover screws and
remove the cover. Then use the supplied
screws to attach the mounting ears, or
mount the box base directly to any flat
surface. When replacing the cover make

sure to tighten the cover screws evenly
and firmly to ensure a water-tight seal.

Switch Mechanical Dimensions

Use these holes to mount the box directly (without ears).
You must remove the cover to access these holes.
