EISwitch
A Line of Fixed-Port Industrial Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Switches
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The EIS series —Ethernet Interconnect Switch in the CTRLink®family —
provides a solution for those industrial applications requiring a larger
network diameter and greater throughput. The EIS series is an essential
element of the control strategy.
Classified as switching hubs, each device segments the Ethernet network into
separate collision domains. The EIS8-100T offers eight ports of expansion
via twisted-pair cabling. Three models offer two fibre ports when greater
distance or galvanic isolation is required while offering four twisted-pair
ports for local drops: The EIS6-100T/FC and EIS6-100T/FT accommodate a
multimode fibre backbone and the EIS6-100T/FCS accommodates single-
mode fibre.
Each switch functions as a ―bridge‖ between the various data links —
creating a larger network diameter than can be achieved with repeating hubs.
To optimize speed and throughput, some functions are automatically
negotiated:
Each twisted-pair port automatically optimises its data rate to 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps. The data rate of fibre ports is fixed at 100 Mbps.
Each port negotiates flow control —supporting the PAUSE function
for full-duplex links, and the backpressure scheme for half-duplex links.
The switch learns the ports of devices by reading Ethernet frames and noting
source addresses. It then creates and maintains a table of addresses and port
assignments by which traffic is restricted to only those ports party to a data
exchange. This allows other data to be simultaneously exchanged on other
ports —with improved throughput. If a broadcast, multicast, or unicast
transmission to an unknown destination arrives at a port, all other ports
receive the transmission.
The switch front-panel features LEDs for link status, port activity, and data
rate of each port. All units operate from low-voltage AC or DC power and
are either DIN-rail or panel mountable.

INSTALLATION
A clip is pre-attached for mounting on 35 mm DIN-rail. For panel-mounting, remove the clip,
extend the mounting brackets and secure with two #8 pan-head screws (not provided). See the
mechanical drawing on page two for mounting in an industrial enclosure or wiring closet.
Cabling Considerations
When attaching cables to the EISwitch, Table 1 should be considered.
Table 1 —Cabling Considerations
Observe in Table 1that segment distance is very limited when using copper media —
regardless of the data rate. Although 10BASE-T segments can successfully use Category
3, 4 or 5 cable, 100BASE-TX segments must use Category 5 cable.
A popular choice for improved distance is multimode fibre —which also gives good
electromagnetic noise immunity and optimum protection from lightning strikes. Considerable
distance can be achieved in full-duplex mode —and the greatest distance can be realized in
full-duplex mode with single-mode fibre. Note that half-duplex operation yields a modest,
fixed distance which does not vary with the type of fibre in use. This is because half-duplex
mode is limited by the collision domain —irrespective of the length and type of fibre.
EIS switches offer three types of field connectors. Copper ports accept RJ-45 modular
plugs and fibre ports accept either ST or SC style connectors.

Powering
The EISwitch requires low-voltage power —AC or DC —via a four-pin removable
keyed connector. Consult the specifications for power requirements. The various power
options are explained below.
NOTE: This device is intended for use with Class 2 circuits.
DC Powered
The EISwitch accepts a voltage range of 10–36 VDC and draws a current value
commensurate with 10-watt power consumption. Power conductors should be sized
accordingly. Circuit common is directly connected to zero volts and the equipment
chassis is isolated from zero volts. The input connections are reverse-polarity protected.
Figure 1 —DC Powered Figure 2 —Redundant DC Powered
Redundant DC Powered
Redundant diode-isolated DC power inputs are provided so the EISwitch can operate
despite the loss of primary power. Both sources must provide 10 watts of power.
AC Powered
The EISwitch can be powered by an AC voltage in the range of 8–24 V capable of
delivering 10 VA of apparent power. Two auxiliary power supplies are available:
The AI-XFMR is for use with 120 VAC. The AI-XFMR-E is for use with 230 VAC.

with Grounded Secondary
AC Powered with Battery Backup
The EISwitch can also operate in the AC mode
with a backup battery providing power if the AC
source fails. The EISwitch does NOT charge the
battery, so separate provisions are required for
charging.

OPERATION
Switching
The EISwitch can learn and store up to 2K MAC addresses in its address look-up table.
An address-hashing algorithm is used to update the table. Addresses are aged in 300
seconds. Runt packets (less than 64 bytes) are always discarded. Oversize packets
(greater than 1518 or 1522 bytes) or packets with a bad CRC are discarded.
Data Storage
Data storage consists of 768 Kbits of built-in SRAM memory divided into 512 bytes per
block. Received packets will be separated into several 512-byte blocks and chained
together for storage before forwarding. The inter-packet gap (IPG) is the idle time
between any two successive packets from the same port and is typically 96 bit times.
This translates to 9.6 µs for 10 Mbps and 960 ns for 100 Mbps.
Flow Control
Each port automatically negotiates flow control for either half- or full-duplex operation.
In full-duplex mode, the PAUSE function is supported. In half-duplex mode, the
backpressure method is used.
Far End Fault
Auto negotiation provides a mechanism for transferring information from the Local
Station to the link Partner that a remote fault has occurred for 100BASE-TX. As auto
negotiation is not currently specified for operation over fibre, the far end fault indication
function (FEFI) provides this capability for 100BASE-FX applications.
A remote fault is an error in the link that one station can detect while the other cannot.
An example of this is a disconnected wire at a station’s transmitter. This station will be
receiving valid data and detect that the link is good via the link integrity monitor but will
not be able to detect that its transmission is not propagating to the other station.
A 100BASE-FX station that detects such a remote fault may modify its transmitted idle
stream from all ones to a group of 84 ones followed by a single 0. This is referred to as
the FEFI idle pattern.
LEDs
PWR (green) Power —Glows when proper power is supplied to the EISwitch.
LINK (green) Link —Each port has one of these LEDs which glows to indicate
that a valid Ethernet link has been established. The LED flashes
when data transfer is occurring.
HS (yellow) Data Rate —Each port has one of these LEDs which glows to
indicate that data is transferring at 100 Mbps.
