General Information

The u::Lux NetCon or u::Lux NetCon Power is a 4 port, 100-Mbit/s-Ethernet Switch. The 4 ports are
equipped with RJ45 jacks and have the designation LAN1 – LAN4. LAN1 and LAN2 serve for
connecting up to 10 u::Lux Switches RJ45. LAN3 and LAN4 are generally used for connections to the
control centre or the computer.
The following details apply equally for the u::Lux NetCon and u::Lux NetCon Power, except in case
of an explicit distinction between the models.
The energy supply of the u::Lux NetCon is carried out via direct voltage through the connections –
VCC and +VCC. The voltage has to be sufficiently filtered (max. voltage ripples 2VSS) and it must be
within the following range:

u::Lux NetCon

48V DC

u::Lux NetCon Power

22V –

30V DC

Mounting

The mechanical assembly of the u::Lux NetCon is effected on a 35mm top-hat rail which has to be
mounted horizontally. Therefore a flap is provided on the bottom part of the housing. If the flap is
pulled forwards (screwdriver) the u::Lux NetCon can be easily placed on the top-hat rail.

The installation width is 35mm. There are ventilation slots on the top and the bottom of the
housing which provide heat exchange. Please note that these vents are not covered and a sufficient
distance to adjacent components is kept.

The housing height is approx. 80mm. Please note that for the Ethernet-connections (on the front)
there will be added approx. 50mm additionally to the housing depth. Altogether a free installation
depth of approx. 130mm is necessary. Please take this into consideration when selecting an
appropriate junction box (wall cabinet).

Mounting order

1. u::Lux NetCon or u::Lux NetCon Power must snap into place on the top-hat rail.

2. Connect the network cable (not included in the scope of delivery) for the u::Lux Switch RJ45
to LAN1 or/and LAN2.

We recommend the use of a Patchpanel (taking into account the potential equalization) so
that a shielded network cable can be lead to ground or to get a better ground-contact from the
installation cable to the Patch cable. When indicated, already existing local connecting
instructions must absolutely be obeyed.

3. For the control or cascading connect the network cable (not included in the scope of

delivery) to LAN3 or/and LAN4.

4. Connect the energy supply.
A plug connector (Phoenix - MSTBA 2,5/ 2-ST-5,08) is included in the scope of delivery.
Connect the negative supply voltage of the energy supply to Pin – VCC and the positive
supply voltage to +VCC (see Chapter General Information).

Startup

After connecting the power supply all green LEDs have to illuminate. With these LEDs the presence
of the following voltages is indicated:

1. Energy supply with supply voltage VCC.

2. Internal voltage generation 3,3 volts.

3. Internal voltage generation 48 volts (on ports LAN1 and LAN2).

If a network cable is connected to each of LAN1 – LAN4 and a physical connection (LINK) is
established, the corresponding yellow LED illuminates permanently. As soon as there is traffic on
the connection (ACTIVITY) it will be signalized by this flashing LED. Regarding the LAN ports we
recommend the connection of the following network subscribers:

LAN1: is used exclusively to connect up to 10 u::Lux Switches RJ45.
LAN2: is used exclusively to connect up to 10 u::Lux Switches RJ45.
LAN3: is used to connect a PLC control or to connect another u::Lux NetCon Power module

(cascading) or a computer.

LAN4: is used to connect a PLC control or to connect another u::Lux NetCon Power module

(cascading) or a computer.

Startup order

1. Control of the green LED. All 4 LEDs have to illuminate.

u::Lux NetCon / u::Lux NetCon Power - Manual

Version:

2. Control of the yellow LED. Depending on the connected network subscriber and depending
on the traffic the LEDs illuminate or flash. The yellow LED must not illuminate or flash on
an unoccupied port (LAN1 – LAN4).

Practical example

The installation and energy supply of 40 u::Lux Switches RJ45 is required. All u::Lux Switches RJ45
shall be connected to a control.

A maximum of 2x10 u::Lux Switches RJ45 per u::Lux NetCon Power can be supplied with energy.
Therefore 2 units of u::Lux NetCon Power are required for the energy supply of all 40 u::Lux
Switches RJ45.
The u::Lux Switches RJ45 are connected to the ports LAN1 and LAN2 of the u::Lux NetCon Power.
Both ports of LAN3 are connected to each other (cascading). One of the two LAN4 ports forms the
connection to the control (PLC); the other one can be used for a connection to a computer.

If you use more than 2 u::Lux NetCon Power modules, we recommend to wire the supply
connections separate to the power supply and not together as shown in the image.

Network wiring

An u::Lux Switch line may not exceed the total length of 200 m because of the cable resistance
(voltage drop). We recommend not exceeding the max. length of 50 m of a single sub segment.
