ROCKETLINX ES8510
ES8510 | ES8510-XT | ES8510-XTE

INTRODUCTION
The RocketLinx ES8510, ES8510-XT, and ES8510-XTE are managed industrial
Ethernet switches with:
• Seven 10/100BASE-TX ports
• Three combo RJ45/SFP ports
• ES8510/ES8510-XT: 10/100BASE-TX (RJ45) or 100BASE-FX/
1000BASE-SX/LX/LHX/XD/ZX (SFP) Gigabit ports (standard mini GBIC
SFPs)
• ES8510-XTE: 10/100BASE-TX (RJ45) or 100BASE-FX (SFP) ports
(standard mini GBIC SFPs)
When the SFP is acve and installed, the corresponding RJ45 port is
deacvated. For example, if an SFP is installed and acve on the SFP Port 8,
the corresponding RJ45 Port 8 becomes inacve.
The ES8510 is encased with a rugged aluminum housing for industrial
environments:
• ES8510 provides a wide operang temperature
• ES8510-XT/ES8510-XTE are NEMA TS2 cered and provide an extended
operang temperature
The ES8510, ES8510-XT, and ES8510-XTE are referred to as the ES8510 unless
there is a dierence between the models.
See the Comtrol website for complete product specicaons.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
If you need more detailed installaon and conguraon informaon, you
can download the appropriate User Guide, which can be located at hp://
downloads.comtrol.com
Wiring the Power Inputs
The ES8510 provides redundant power, reverse polarity protecon, and
accepts a posive or negave power source but PW1 and PW2 must apply
to the same mode. The ES8510 can be congured to signal an alarm for loss
of power in either PW1 or PW2 using the web interface or Command Line
Interface (CLI).

Note: Power should be disconnected from the power supply before connecng it to
the switch. Otherwise, your screwdriver blade can inadvertently short your terminal
connecons to the grounded enclosure.
1. Insert the posive and negave wires into PW+ and PW- contacts
(PW1 and PW2). You can connect a single power supply or two power
supplies depending on your requirements.
2. If both power inputs are connected, the ES8510 is powered from the
highest connected voltage.
• ES8510/ES8510-XT: 12 to
48VDC.
• ES8510-XTE: 10 to 60VDC.
The Power 1/2 LEDs turn
red during the boot cycle
and change to green when
the ES8510 is ready.
3. Tighten the wire-clamp
screws to prevent the wires
from being loosened.
Wiring the Alarm Relay Output
The ES8510 provides two digital
inputs and two digital outputs
(dry relay output) on terminal
block connectors on the boom of the unit. Fault condions can be
congured in the web interface or Command Line Interface (CLI).
The Digital Input pin
can be pulled high or
low so that the
connected equipment
can acvely drive these
pins. The web interface
allows you to read and
set the value to the
connected device.

The power input voltage
of logic low is 0 to 10VDC
and logic high is 11 to
30VDC. Do not apply a
higher voltage than the
specicaon; it may cause
internal circuit damage
or cause an incorrect DI
acon.
Digital output relay contacts are energized (open) for normal operaon and
close for fault condions. The digital output relay contacts support up to 1A
at 24VDC. Do not apply voltage and current higher than the specicaons.
1. Insert the posive and negave wires (12-24 AWG) into V+ and V-.
2. Tighten the wire-clamp screws to prevent the wires from coming loose.
Mounng the ES8510
You can mount the ES8510 onto a DIN rail or oponally a panel or wall.
Follow the steps below to install the ES8510 with the
wall mounng plate:
1. To remove the DIN rail clip from the ES8510,
loosen the screws from the DIN rail clip.
2. Place the wall mounng plate on the rear
panel of the ES8510.
3. Use the screws to aach the wall mounng
plate to the ES8510.
4. Use the hook holes at the corners of the wall
mounng plate to hang the ES8510 onto the wall.

Connecng Ethernet Ports
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the ES8510
and the other end to the aached networking device. The Ethernet ports
support 10/100Mbps half/full-duplex. All ports auto-detect the signal from
connected devices to negoate the link speed and duplex mode. Auto MDI/
MDIX allows users to connect another switch, hub, or workstaon without
changing straight through or crossover cable.
Link/Act LED are lit to indicate trac and link status. See the LED subsecon
for more informaon.
Always make sure that the cables between the switches and aached devices
(for example, switch hub, or workstaon) are less than 100 meters (328 feet).
• 10BASE-T: Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
• 100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX: Category 5 or 5e cable
Connecng the SFP Transceivers
To ensure system reliability, Comtrol recommends using Comtrol cered SFP
transceivers.
1. Plug the SFP transceiver into the SFP port.
2. Connect the transmit channel to the receive channel at each end.
3. Check the direcon/angle of the ber transceiver and the ber cable.
Note: This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. Do not stare at the Laser/LED beam.

5
The SFP port does not funcon unl the ber cable is linked to another acve
device. The SFP and corresponding RJ45 ports work in an exclusive mode.
Trac sent or received through
the SFP module has priority thus
no trac is sent or received over
the corresponding RJ45
connecon. To use the RJ45
connecon, remove the
corresponding SFP.
Mul-Mode cables should not
exceed 2KM and Single-Mode cables should not exceed 30km.
PROGRAMMING THE IP ADDRESS
Congure the IP address using one of the following methods:
• PortVision DX (hp://downloads.comtrol.com)
• Web browser
• Telnet
• Command line interface (CLI) using the RS-232 console cable
The easiest way to congure a stac IP address for your network in
the ES8510 is to use a Windows host and PortVision DX (see below).
For informaon about using other conguraon methods, refer to the
appropriate RocketLinx ES8510 User Guide.
The following procedure uses PortVision DX to program network sengs.
1. Install PortVision DX on a host system with a Windows operang system.
If you need assistance installing PortVision DX, see the appropriate
RocketLinx ES8510 User Guide.
2. Start PortVision DX. PortVision DX can be started from Start --> All
Programs --> Comtrol --> PortVision DX.
3. Click the Scan buon.
4. Select the Comtrol product families that you want to locate and click the
Scan buon.
5. Right-click the ES8510 in the Device List pane (lower) that you want to
congure and click Properes.
6. Enter a user-friendly Device Name.
7. Oponally, enter the ES8510 serial number, which displays a friendly
device name in the Device List pane on the main page.

8. Select DHCP IP or Stac IP for the IP Mode .
• If you select DHCP IP, go to Step 9.
• If you select Stac IP, enter an IP address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway value for your network.
9. Oponally, select the appropriate Network Topology, which is an
informaonal eld.
10. Click the Apply Changes buon.
11. Click Close to return to the main screen.
12. You are now ready to congure the ES8510 features.
FEATURE CONFIGURATION
The ES8510 provides both in-band and out-band conguraon methods:
Out-band management means that you congure the ES8510 using the
RS-232 console cable and the Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the
ES8510 without aaching an admin PC to the network. You can also use
out-bound management, if you lost the network connecon to the
ES8510.
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES8510 IP
address through the network. You can remotely connect with the
ES8510 web interface or a Telnet console and the CLI.
The following procedure uses a web browser to congure ES8510
features. Refer to the appropriate RocketLinx ES8510 User Guide for other
conguraon methods.
1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the ES8510.
2. Enter admin for both the user name and the password when prompted.
3. Use the web interface to congure your device as needed for your
network.
You can use the help system or the appropriate User Guide for informaon
about conguring other ES8510 features.
