3.2 Connection voltage supply and fault relay
The terminal block for connecting the voltage supply as well as the switch contact is designed as a plug to
make the mounting easier. Connect the supply voltage to the terminals VDC1 and GND. For a redundant
voltage supply, you can connect to terminals VDC2 and GND as well. Both voltage inputs are protected
internally against polarity reversal.
The permissible input voltage lies in the range of 24V DC +/-20%. The voltage needs to be an SELV/LPS-
conforming voltage acc. to IEC 60950-1 / EN60950-1 / VDE0805-1. Please observe the note on SELV
voltages under the legal information at the front of these operating instructions.
The 7-pole connector terminal block at the top of the device is assigned as follows:

3.4 Ports
RJ-45 ports
The PROmesh P9 features nine RJ-45 ports with transfer rates of 10 mbps or 100 mbps respectively. The
baud rate is detected automatically by the respective port. The transmission and reception lines are crossed
appropriately by MDI/MDI-X Autocrossover so that connections can be established to other devices
independently from the cable type used (1:1 or crossed). MDI/MDI-X autocrossover can be deactivated by
the web management.
Cabling
Use twisted-pair cables of the category 5 or better to connect the RJ-45 ports. The electric connection cable
between the switch and the connection partner (switch, hub, workstation etc.) must not be longer than 100
metres.

Network topologies / Redundancy
PROmesh P9 - User Manual 13
4 Network topologies / Redundancy
By employing various protocols, the devices of the PROmesh P9 product family can be implemented in
star-shaped switched-Ethernet networks as well as in redundant networks such as intermeshed networks
or rings.
4.1 Star structure
Classic Ethernet-star structures, see Figure 4, can be networked with the PROmesh P9 switches without
further configuration. The devices are functionable immediately.

Network topologies / Redundancy
PROmesh P9 - User Manual 14
4.2 Ring structure
The PROmesh P9 supports the Media Redundancy Protocol acc. to IEC 62429 (MRP Ring), which makes
it possible for the system to recover within 200 ms or less in case of a network failure. The MRP ring thereby
increases the reliability in the network. Figure 5 illustrates an example for an application with ring
functionality.

5 Web application
The PROmesh P9 switches are equipped with a modern web interface by which they can be conveniently
configured from any web browser.
5.1 Preparations
Install the PROmesh P9 switch in the network before you use the web management and make sure that
the PC intended for the configuration of the switches can access the switch via the web browser. In delivery
status of the device, the following IP address, subnet masks, administrator user name and password are
set:
•IP address: 0.0.0.0
•Subnet mask: 0.0.0.0
•Gateway: 0.0.0.0
•User name: admin
•Password: admin
The setting of your intended user addresses can be conducted easily with the Indu-Sol ServiceTool. This
is available for download, free-of-charge from the following link: https://www.indu-
sol.com/support/downloads/software/.
After installation and opening of the software, establish a network connection from your computer to one
port of the switch and scan the system with the search setting "PROFINET device". Afterwards, you can
enter and save the corresponding entries in the input mask.
If you include the switch in a Profinet system in the hardware configuration of the controller, the
corresponding address settings are carried out automatically by it afterwards.
As an alternative to the administrator access, there is a user access available with reduced rights and
adjusted menu. The user has no access to the switching and maintenance function as well as their sub-
items. The access data for this is:
•User name: user
•Password: user

The following icons are used in the web interface for a simple status indication of the individual ports:
No fault: Communication is functioning without any problems.
Warning: At least one communication fault (discard, error) has occurred at
the corresponding port, which has not led to a failure yet. The sources of
these events should be localised and resolved.
Fault: A critical fault has appeared at the corresponding port, and this fault
leads to an interruption of communication. It is urgently necessary to resolve
the fault.
No communication is taking place at the respective port. Either there is no
device connected (possibly also line interruption) or no telegram traffic can
be detected (serious malfunction in the network) or the devices no longer
communicate.

5.4 Start page with main overview
After having logged in successfully, you arrive at the main overview with the information bar in which the
device name, the installation site and the IP address can be viewed. The current user is displayed under
the logout button on the right end of the bar. Press this button to log out and to block the device. The Help
button will show you information and explanations for the individual pages.
In the Port Statistics you will see an overview of the status of the available ports since the start or reset of
the switch. Additionally the corresponding IP address of the communication partner is shown as well. By
selecting the sub-items Network Limit, Discards and Error, you can call up the respective detail information.
The relevant period of evaluation can be selected by switching the time window between “current” and
“history”. The “current” setting always displays the port condition at that particular moment.With the “history”
pre-selection, all data is displayed since the beginning of the recording or the last time the “Delete counters”
function was commanded.
The number of messages that occurred is displayed in the Messages window. The entries in the Message
list are opened automatically with a mouse click on the alarm bell. The messages as well as the counter
reading of the ports can be deleted by the respective buttons.
The overview of the leakage current presents the current current value between the RJ45 port and the top-
hat rail of the device. For this, you can switch between the peak current (Peak) and the effective value
(RMS). Interference currents, which can lead to direct communication problems, are made visible early on
by this information.
The selection in the menu bar allows you to call up individual pages and make settings there. The displayed
menu items are sub-divided into further sub-items.

Alarms / Notifications
The Alarms / Notifications (Figure 9) menu item is used for the configuration of alarm triggers and alarm
receivers.
Alarms can be specified for the following events:
•Status change of a port
•Too high or too low device temperature
•Failure of a supply voltage
•MRP protocol event
•Leakage current too high
•Detecting a change of the port connection (Wrong Neighbour)
•Exceeding the network utilisation at a port
The created alarms can be linked to one or more alarm receivers which include:
•Fault relay
•SNMP trap
•E-mail alarm
If one of the specified alarms is detected and triggered, then the software forwards the event to the
corresponding alarm receiver and documents this additionally as a syslog message.
The configured alarm assignments are displayed in lists with consecutive IDs. By using the tabs Alarm
trigger and Alarm receiver, the view can be switched between:
•Alarm trigger with assigned Alarm receiver
•Alarm receiver with assigned Alarm trigger
The alarm receiver “Profinet” is permanently system-internally set in a Profinet network (5.9 Profinet) after
integration and parametrising of the switch and cannot be changed in the device. The alarm triggers of the
individual events are activated in the hardware configuration of the controller. If a trigger is triggered, there
is an alarm message of the switch at the controller. This information can then be processed further by
programs in the PLC.

PROmesh P9 - User Manual 20
Adding and editing alarm triggers
Under the tab Alarm trigger (Figure 9), new alarms can be added by clicking on the “+” button above the
table. If alarms are already available, then the user has the option to edit or delete them by the click of a
button (right column in the overview). In the upper part of the page "Add new alarm trigger" that is displayed
then, the user can specify the various alarms. Within the creation and editing of the alarms, the
corresponding receivers can be selected in the lower part of the page and thus linked to the alarm trigger.
The following alarm triggers are possible:
•The network ports can trigger an alarm during activity, inactivity and status change.
•The menu item Temperature serves to specify the lower and upper temperature limits. If the
temperature measured by the device reaches a value outside of the defined limits, an alarm is
triggered.
•In the Voltage option, the monitoring of the input voltage(s) is defined. A specification can be made
here which alarm should be triggered if either one or even both voltage supplies malfunction.
•With an active MRP ring redundancy, alarms can be triggered for detected changes of the ring
configuration.
•If a defined leakage current is exceeded here, an alarm can be triggered. Additionally to this alarm,
the frequency spectrum incl. RMS value is saved.
•By activating the point Wrong Neighbour, an alarm is triggered and also the port assignment of the
output configuration.
•With the option Network Limit, messages for the exceeding of the configured limit can be sent.
