Mounting Dimensions
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back
panel of the IMC-21A when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the IMC-21A, make sure the
stiff metal spring is situated towards the top.
Wiring Requirements
Safety First!
•
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing
and/or wiring your Moxa IMC.
•
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 rating, the wiring
could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.

•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.
•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 that shares similar electrical characteristics can be
bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•We strongly advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system.
Grounding the Moxa IMC
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects
of noise due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI). Run the ground connection from the right
most
connector of the 3-contact terminal block to
the grounding surface prior to connecting
devices.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well
-grounded
mounting surface such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Power Inputs
The two left-most contacts of the 3-contact terminal block connector on
the IMC’s top panel are used for the IMC’s DC inputs. Take the following
steps to wire the IMC’s DC power inputs:
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 IMC’s top panel.

Communication Connections
RJ45 Ethernet Port Connection
The IMC-21A has one 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet port located on the front
panel for connecting to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Pinouts and cable wiring diagrams for both MDI (NIC-type) and MDI-X
(HUB/switch-type) ports for both straight-through and cross-over
Ethernet cables are shown below:

Straight-Through Cable Wiring
Cross-Over Cable Wiring
Fiber Optic Port Connection
The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. Contrary to electrical signals,
optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data.
Consequently, one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device
I to device II, and the other optical line is used transmit data from device
II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I
to the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I
to the Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you make your own cables, we
suggest labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter
(A-to-A and B-to-B, as shown below, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Moxa IMC’s
10/100BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, regardless of the
type of Ethernet cable used for the connection. This means that you can
use either a straight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect the IMC
to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa IMC’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto negotiates with the
connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both
devices. All models of Moxa IMC are plug-and-play devices, so that
software configuration is not required during installation or maintenance.
The half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is user dependent
and changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on
which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
The IMC-21A series’ RJ45 Ethernet port supports auto-negotiation in
10BaseT and 100BaseT(X) modes, with operation governed by the IEEE
802.3u standard. This means that some nodes could be operating at 10
Mbps, while at the same time, other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and
then each time a LINK is enabled. The Moxa IMC advertises its capability
for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the
device at the other end of the cable expected to advertise similarly.
Depending on which type of device is connected, the devices will agree to
operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If a Moxa IMC’s RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating
device, it will default to 10 Mbps speed and half-duplex mode, as required
by the IEEE 802.3u standard.
