Overview

The IE-SW-BL05/08 series of industrial Ethernet switches are entry-level
industrial 5 and 8-port Ethernet switches that support IEEE 802.3, IEEE

802.3u, and IEEE 802.3x with 10/100M, full/half-duplex, and MDI/MDIX
auto-sensing.

The IE-SW-BL05/08 series provides 12/24/48 VDC (9.6 to 60 VDC)
redundant power inputs. The switches are available with a standard
operating temperature range from -10 to 60°C, or with a wide operating
temperature range from -40 to 75°C, and IP30 metal housing makes
them rugged enough for any harsh industrial environment.

To provide greater versatility for use with applications from different
industries, the IE-SW-BL05/08 series also allow users to enable or
disable broadcast storm protection with DIP switches on the outer panel.

The IE-SW-BL05/08 switches can be easily installed with DIN-Rail
mounting as well as distribution boxes. The DIN-rail mounting capability
and IP30 metal housing with LED indicators make the plug-and-play
IE-SW-BL05/08 switches reliable and easy to use.

ATTENTION

This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Package Checklist

Mounting Dimensions

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the Ethernet Switch when you take it out of the box. If you
need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal
spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.

STEP 1

:
Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into
the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.

STEP 2

:
The DIN-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as shown below.

To remove the DIN-rail from the Ethernet Switch, simply reverse Steps 1
and 2.

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the Ethernet
switch on the wall, as shown in the following figures.

STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
switch rear panel, and then

attach the wall mount plates

as shown in the diagram at
the right.

STEP 2:

Mounting the switch on the wall requires 4 screws.
Use the switch, with wall mount plates attached, as a
guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws.
The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm
in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5
mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

NOTE

Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw

head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one

of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates.

Do not screw the screws in completely—leave about 2 mm to

allow room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and

the screws

6.0 mm

3.5 mm

- 9 -

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed on the wall, insert the four screw heads

through the large parts of the keyhole-

shaped apertures, and then slide

the switch downwards, as indicated. Tighten the four screws for added

stability.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Turn the power off before disconnecting modules or wires.
The proper power supply voltage is listed on the product
label. Check the voltage of your power source to make sure
you are using the correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage
greater than what is specified on the product label.

These devices must be supplied by a SELV source as
defined in the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and
2014/30/EU.

WARNING

Safety First!

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 communications wiring and power wiring
in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.

 You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine

which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring
with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.

 Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.

 It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the system

when necessary.

Grounding Ethernet Switch

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.

- 11 -

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 4-contact
terminal block connector on the Ethernet Switch’s top panel are used for
the Ethernet Switch’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal
block connector are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC
wires into the V-/V+ terminals.

STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from
pulling loose, use a small flat-blade
screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp
screws on the front of

the terminal block

connector.

STEP 3

: Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal
block receptor, which is located on
Ethernet Switch’s top panel.

ATTENTION

Before connecting the Ethernet Switch to the DC power
inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

N

For use in Pollution Degree 2 Environments.
Wiring terminals shall be marked to indicate the proper
connections for power supply and load, or a wiring diagram
coded to the terminal marking shall be securely attached to the
device, and “Use Copper Conductors Only, Tighten to 4.5
pound-in.”

Communication Connections

The 5-Port models have 4 or 5 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports, and 1 or
0 (zero) 100 BaseFX multi/single-mode (SC/ST-type connector) fiber
ports. The 8-Port models have 6, 7 or 8 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports,
and 2, 1 or 0 (zero) 100 BaseFX multi/single-mode (SC/ST-type
connector) fiber ports.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on Ethernet Switch’s front panel are
used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Below we show pinouts for
both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also
show cable wiring diagrams for straight-through and cross-over Ethernet
cables.

Redundant Power Inputs

Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power
sources. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup,
and automatically supplies all of the Ethernet Switch’s power needs.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows connecting devices to an Ethernet
Switch’s 10/100BaseT(X) port without paying attention to the type of
Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This means that you can
use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect
devices to the Ethernet Switch.

Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing

Each RJ45 Ethernet port independently supports auto-negotiation for
recognizing the transmission speed 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps according to
the IEEE802.3 standard. This means that some of connected Ethernet
devices could operate at 10 Mbps, while at the same time other nodes
are operating at 100 Mbps. Auto-negotiation takes place each time when
a RJ45 cable connection is made and a link will be established. The
Ethernet Switch advertises its capability for using 10 or 100 Mbps
transmission speed to the connected device and expects this also from
the connected device. This procedure results in an agreement to operate
at a speed of either 10 or 100 Mbps.

Auto-Negotiation and Transmission Mode

Besides the transmission speed, each RJ45 port auto-negotiates the
transmission mode (half duplex or full duplex). Typically, if both devices
are set to “auto-negotiation”, the full duplex transmission will be set.

Note about possible loss of data packages in case of “Duplex
mismatching”

If the switch’s auto-negotiation port is connected to a non-negotiating
device, then the Switch will set its port transmission speed same as the
connected device but is unable to correctly detect the duplex mode. As
result the port is set to the correct speed but is using always the half
duplex mode as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard in such cases. For
correct transmission, the non-negotiating port must be set to half-duplex
mode (speed either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
