1 Introduction
This Operator Manual describes the properties of the T200, R200 and U200 series.
1.1 T200
The T200 is the time synchronization switch series of Westermo. The T200 series has also
full management support including QoS, network redundancy either based on FRNT or
RSTP/STP, SNMP, IGMP snooping, VLAN and MAC security. The switches are approved for
industrial use.
All chapters in this document are relevant for the T200 series.
1.2 R200
The R200 series contains the same features as the R200 series except for time
synchronization.
All chapters in this document except chapter 12 are relevant for the R200 series.
1.3 U200
The U200 series is an unmanaged switch implementation with QoS support (layer 2 and 3).
The U200 switch series has the same approvals for industrial use as the R200 and T200
series.
All chapters in this document except chapters 7-12 are relevant for the U200 series.

3 Ethernet – Industrial Ethernet
3.1 History of Ethernet
In late 1972, Metcalfe and his Xerox PARC colleagues developed the first experimental
Ethernet system to interconnect the Xerox Alto, a personal workstation with a graphical user
interface. The experimental Ethernet network was used to link Altos to each other, and to
servers and laser printers.
The signal clock for the experimental Ethernet interface was derived from the Alto's system
clock, which resulted in a data transmission rate on the experimental Ethernet of 2.94 Mbps.
Robert Metcalfe's first experimental network was called the Alto Aloha Network.
In 1973, Robert Metcalfe changed the name to "Ethernet," to make it clear that the system
could support any type of computer; not just the Xerox Altos and to point out that his new
network mechanisms had evolved well beyond the Aloha system. He chose to base the name
on the word "ether" as a way of describing an essential feature of the system: the physical
medium (i.e., a cable) carries bits to all stations, much the same way that the old "luminiferous
ether" was once thought to propagate electromagnetic waves through space. Thus, Ethernet
was born.”
``The diagram ... was drawn by Dr. Robert M. Metcalfe in 1976 to present Ethernet ... to the
National Computer Conference in June of that year. On the drawing are the original terms for
describing Ethernet. Since then other terms have come into usage among Ethernet
enthusiasts.''
Figure 1
3.2 Industrial Ethernet – What Are The Differences?
Ethernet is moving into the Automation Industry. Manufacturers are exporting their legacy
protocols onto Ethernet, designing new IP based communication protocols and providing
embedded Web-Pages within PLCs to provide real-time information using simple tools like
Internet Explorer and Netscape.

However, the domain of Ethernet has always been controlled by the IT department who
configured office networks normally with an iron fist and dictated to the company how the
network would be designed with complex recovery protocols like spanning tree and SNMP to
help with fault finding and system analysis. If a network failure occurred the IT department
would casually look at repairing the equipment - there was no real rush as it was an office
network. However, with Industrial Ethernet you need very fast repair time, and, with an IT
department not present on the factory floor the maintenance personnel need to be made
aware of the fault, find the error and repair it - quickly.
Industrial rated Switches are intended to be installed in harsh conditions and electrical
environments with the added benefit of fast recovery of a network failure. The switches are
an excellent example of how such Switches should be designed – very high operating
temperatures, fast repair of redundant ring, layer 2 and layer 3 priority switching, time
synchronization capability, etc. Without doubt, Westermo OnTime switches are technically
superior to many similar models available on the market.
V4.5
3.3 Switches vs. Hubs
A hub consists of a number of ports normally with either RJ-45 (copper) sockets and / or fibre
optic ports that have a number of different styles of fibre optic sockets. Usually a ‘patch cable’
is connected to the hub; the other end is normally connected to a device (PC, Printer etc).
A hub has no intelligence and therefore is unable to identify addresses or any information
contained within the Header frame of an Ethernet packet. This means that it is not capable of
determining which port to send the frame to. Therefore, every frame is sent to every port.
A network of repeaters and hubs is called a ‘Shared Ethernet’ or ‘Collision Domain’. Various
systems will all compete with each other using ‘Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision
Detect’ (CSMA/CD) protocol. This means that only one system is allowed to proceed with
a transmission of a frame within a Collision Domain at any one time. This is a major
disadvantage when using Hubs and Repeaters within a network.
If a hub sees a collision on a cable segment, it is detected and a ‘jam’ signal is generated.
The ‘jam’ signal is sent to all connected devices. This ensures that every device is aware of
the collision and they do not attempt to transmit during the collision.
All Ports Receive the Same Ethernet Frame
Figure 2, hub
To summarise, hubs operate with the following limitations:
• Only a single speed of operation – no ability to automatically change between 10M or
100M.
www.westermo.com
U/R/T200 series
- 7 -
V4.5
• Only one system is allowed to proceed with a transmission of a frame within a
Collision Domain at any one time.
• Hubs require special ‘crossed’ cables to enables links from Hub to Hub (If no up-link
port with twisted wiring is present).

4 Switch Operation
4.1 Introduction
A switch has to forward and receive packets from one LAN or device to another. The switch
could forward all packets, but if this was the case it would have similar behavior to a hub.
It would be more intelligent if the switch only forwarded packets which need to travel from one
LAN or device to another. To do this, the switch must learn which devices or LANs are
connected to each port. In simplistic terms; it needs to learn the destination and source ports
of each and every packet received on each individual Switch port. Once learnt, any identically
addressed packet will be automatically be forwarded.
4.2 Error Detection
The switch stores every incoming packet and scans this for errors, usually by checking the
frame CRC (cyclic redundancy check sum). If any errors are found or detected the packet is
discarded. In addition each frame is checked for size. Undersized packets (less than 64
Bytes) and oversized packets (more than 1518 bytes (*)) are also discarded.
Once these basic checks have been carried out the switch can then start learning packet
source and destination information.
(*) When implementing Ethernet MAC tagging maximum Ethernet packet length is increased
to 1522 bytes.
4.3 Flooding
The switch needs to make a decision regarding which port(s) the packet is to be forwarded to.
This decision is based upon the MAC tables that are maintained and updated automatically
by the Switch. The process is known as Layer 2 Switching.
When first powered on the MAC tables within the Switch are empty. When a packet is
received on a port the Switch does not know where the destination MAC address is located.
The Switch learns the address by ‘flooding’ the packet out to all ports. Eventually, the
destination node responds, the address is located and the Switch remembers the destination
port. In simplistic terms; when a Switch receives a packet on a port it stores the source MAC
address in the MAC table that corresponds to that Port. The flooding technique is always
used with Broadcast and Multicast packets. If the switch is equipped with multicast
management then multicast packets will not be flooded.
4.4 MAC Table and Packet Memory
.
The MAC table can hold up to 8 K entries with a MAC aging interval of five minutes. MAC
aging means that a MAC address learned on a given port will be removed from the MAC table
if no packets with this MAC address as the source MAC address are received on the port for
five minutes.
The total packet memory is 1Mbyte. This means that 657 (maximum packet length - 1522
bytes) to 15625 (minimum packet length - 64 bytes) packets. The packet memory is used to
handle short high load/overload situations. Exceeding the packet memory means that the
www.westermo.com
U/R/T200 series
- 9 -
switch engine will drop packets. Packet re-transmission is then required and must be handled
by the end nodes (e.g. TCP).
A MAC table of 8 K entries and a packet memory of 1Mbyte is adequate for large networks.
V4.5
4.5 Full Wire Speed
The Switch supports full wire speed. This equates to 100Mbit/s full duplex on every port.
100Mbit/s in each direction on all ports equals 200Mbit/s per port.
4.6 Twisted Pair Port Specification
4.6.1 Introduction
The T/R/U200 series is available with up to eight copper ports. The copper ports support the
long cable specification that enables standard CAT5e copper cables to run up to 150 Meters
when used with devices that also support this specification. This highlights the enhanced
design specification the switch employs when used in noisy electrical environments. In
industrial networks long cables should be avoided but equipment specified according to long
cable specification gives more margins for disturbances.
Port configuration is available via the IP configuration tool or the push buttons on the front
panel of the Switch. See the Installation Guide for details.
4.6.2 MDI/MDI-X
There are two types of copper Ethernet ports available; MDI (Medium Dependant Interface)
and MDIX (Medium Dependant Interface Crossover). The MDI port types are associated with
copper interfaces available on NICs (Network Interface Cards), PLCs, VSDs and DCSs etc.
The latter type of interface (MDI-X) is found on Hubs or Switches.
In addition there are two types of Ethernet cable available. These are referred to as a ‘straight
through cable’ or ‘crossed cable’.

V4.5
4.6.5 Auto MDI/MDI-X
The complete range of Westermo OnTime switches automatically detects the transmit and
receive copper pairs used in a patch cable. This eliminates the need to source the two types
of patch cable (crossed and straight through) highlighted above and therefore reduces the
cost of carrying two types of spares.
4.6.6 Electrical Isolation
The copper (TX) ports incorporate high electrical isolation between the signal lines and the
internal electronics. In addition, the switch can also withstand over 500 Amps through the
shield for short periods of time (20-30mS) without effecting the operation and communication
of the Switch. However, this is not advisable. Fibre optical cables should be used in such
environments. Each TX port is isolated to chassis and other ports. Isolation is rated 1500Vrms
(1 minute).
4.6.7 Auto-Negotiation
Auto-Negotiation is a protocol that controls the speed and duplex of a copper cable when a
connection is established between two Ethernet devices. Auto-Negotiation detects the various
modes that exist in the device on the other end of the cable and highlights its own abilities to
automatically configure itself. Therefore, it will automatically operate at the highest
performance in relation to speed and duplex. This allows simple and automatic connection of
devices that support a variety of modes from a variety of manufacturers. The auto-negotiation
protocol only functions on copper ports.
As standard the range of Westermo OnTime switches are shipped with the Auto-Negotiation
feature enabled.
4.7 Fibre Optic Port Specification
4.7.1 Fibre Optic Communications
The fibre optic (FX) ports are available with either multi-mode or single mode fibre
transceivers. Multi-mode transceivers are available with MTRJ, SC or ST style connectors.
Single mode transceivers are only available with LC or SC style connectors.

5 Power Supply Connector
5.1 Redundant power inputs
The switch is designed to operate permanently over a very wide range of power (19 V DC to
60 VDC). Two redundant inputs are provided to provide enhanced redundancy if either supply
fails.
The power supply draws power from the input that has the highest potential difference when
compared to the alternate supply.
This enables use of e.g. a 48V source as primary supply with a 24VDC battery as back up.
Power supply inputs have reverse polarity protection.
Large transient protection devices are present on both power inputs. During transients,
transient currents of up to more than thousand Ampere may pass thru cabling infrastructure.
The switch is delivered with a power connector (Wieland 25.621.3553.0) that is suitable for
wires between AWG 20 and AWG 22 (0,34-0,5 mm
2
).
Figure 4, Power contact
5.2 Fault Contact
The switch is incorporated with a user configurable fault contact (STAT pin) that enables
network and switch faults to be highlighted, see the Installation Guide.
The user configurable fault contact is a solid state component and therefore requires power to
control the device. The fault relay is equipped with transient protection.
As standard the fault contact will always highlight the following:
• Internal switch watchdog failure.
• Link / Port 7 Failure (if FRNT 0 is activated)
• Link / Port 8 Failure (if FRNT 0 is activated)
• Power Supply Failure
• Focal Point / Redundancy Mode activated.
Using the Switch configuration software (relevant for switches in the R200 and T200 series),
the fault contact can highlight the following addition failures:
• Link / Port 1 to Port 8 Failure; relevant for the R/T200 series.
• A minute pulse that is used for time synchronization can be enabled for switches in
the T200 series. This is a special function that disables all other fault indication.

5.3 Power Supply & Fault Contact Connection Diagram
Power supply connection terminals +VinA and +VinB are not interconnected internally within
the Switch. -COM terminals on the other hand are internally connected to each other. –COM,
+Vin and STAT terminals have an isolation barrier to internal logic and chassis ground that
withstand 1500Vrms.
In some cases polarity needs to be reversed or current increased on the fault contact, in such
cases an external relay may be used. Dual relays may be used if monitoring of individual
power supplies is required. Two example circuit diagrams are presented as a guideline, see
Figure 5 and Figure 6.
Figure 5, Power and fault contact – connection diagram 1
The diodes can be omitted if only one power supply is used. The diode can be any general
purpose diode capable of carrying the current through the relay winding. The function of the
circuit is that the current through the relay winding goes from the positive terminal of the
power supply via diodes and into the STAT connection. The STAT pin is normally connected
to the –COM terminal during normal operation resulting in a magnetised relay in normal
mode. The STAT pin will float when an error occurs and the relay will be de-energised.
www.westermo.com
U/R/T200 series
- 14 -
V4.5
Figure 6, Power and fault contact – connection diagram 2
Example circuit 1, see Figure 5, will not indicate if one of the external power supplies fails,
while example circuit 2 will if this is required, see Figure 6. The only difference between the
two examples (except that two relays are used) is that each relay is powered from only one of
the power supplies. The result of this is that if a power supply is failing the corresponding
relay will be de-energised.
Example circuit 3, see Figure 7 shows how to connect the fault contact (status connection) to
a PLC. The reason for connecting the fault contact to a local PLC can be that the PLC needs
to know the status of the network in order to decide operational mode or to summarize alarms
if SNMP and SNMP traps are not used, see chapter 9. Connection of status output of the two
PSUs can be done in the same way. The fault contact in the switch is an electronic relay with
an internal resistance of approx. 8Ω. When calculating the pullup resistor R the threshold
voltage of the digital input on the PLC needs to be taken into account. Also the maximum
power dissipated in the resistor R as well as the maximum current thru the fault contact. If
+24V supply is used to pullup the resistor (+5V may also be used) as in connection diagram
3, a suitable resistor is 2,2kΩ 0,5W.
