Overview
The EDS-G308 Series is equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up
to 2 fiber optic ports, making it ideal for applications that demand high
bandwidth. The EDS-G308 series provides an economical solution for
your industrial Gigabit Ethernet connection, and the built-in relay
warning function alerts maintainers when power failures or port breaks
occur. In addition, the 4-pin DIP switches can be used to configure the
following features: broadcast storm protection (BSP), jumbo frame rate
(Jumbo), and IEEE 802.3az energy saving. The EDS-G308 series
includes 2 models: one with an operating temperature range of -10 to
60°C, and the other one with an extended operating temperature range
of -40 to 75°C. These 2 models have passed a 100% burn-in test to
ensure that they fulfill the special needs of industrial automation
control. The EDS-G308 series can be easily installed with DIN-Rail
mounting as well as distribution boxes.

DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the EDS when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring
is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 1: Insert the top of the
DIN
-rail into the slot just below
the stiff metal spring.
STEP 2: The DIN-rail attachment
unit will snap into place as shown
below.
To remove the DIN-rail from the EDS, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2.
In order to ensure proper installation, please insert the DIN-rail below
the metal spring.
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the EDS on
the wall, as illustrated below.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum DIN-
rail attachment plate from
the EDS’s rear panel, and
then attach the wall mount
plates, as shown in the
f
igure.
STEP 2:
Mounting
the EDS on the wall requires 4 screws. Use
the
switch, with wall mount plates attached, as a
guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws.
The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm
in diameter, and the shafts should be less than
3.5
mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

NOTE
Before tightening screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into
one of the keyhole
-shaped apertures of the Wall Mounting
Plates.
Do not screw the screws in all the way—leave about 2 mm to allow
room for sliding the wall mount panel between the wall and the screws.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed in the
wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large parts of the
keyhole
-shaped apertures, and
then slide the EDS downwards, as
indicated. Tighten the four screws
for
added stability.

•The equipment shall only be used in an area of not more than
pollution degree 2, as defined in EN 60664-1.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Turn
the power off before disconnecting modules or wires. The
proper
power supply voltage is listed on the product label.
Check the voltage of your power source to make sure you are
using t
he correct voltage. Do NOT use a voltage greater than
what
is specified on the product label.
These devices must be supplied by a
n SELV source as defined
in the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and 2014/30/EU.
WARNING
Safety First!
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 r
atings, the wiring
could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.
You should also pay attention to the following items:
•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.
NOTE: 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 with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled
together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separated.
•It is strongly advised that you label wiring for all devices in the
system when necessary.
Grounding Moxa EtherDevice Switch
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from
the ground screw 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.
We suggest using the cable type A
WG min. 18 for grounding
the EDS-G308.
Wiring the Alarm Contact
The Alarm Contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal
block on the EDS’s top panel. You may refer to the next section for
detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block
connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the
terminal block receptor.
In this section, we explain the meaning of the two contacts used to
connect the Alarm Contact.
FAULT: The two middle contacts of the 6-
contact
terminal block connector are used to
detect both power faults and port faults. The
two wires attached to the Fault contacts form
a
n open circuit when:
1. EDS has lost power from one of the DC
power inputs.
OR
2. The PORT ALARM DIP switch for one of
the ports is set to ON, but the port is
not connected properly.
If
neither of these two conditions is satisfied,
the Fault circuit will be closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-contact
terminal block connector on the EDS’s top panel are used for the EDS’s
two AC/ DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal block
connectors are shown here.
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 EDS’s top panel.

ATTENTION
Before connecting the EDS to the DC power inputs, make sure
the DC power source voltage is stable.
We suggest using a copper conductor with the cable type
-
AWG 18
-24 and the corresponding pin type cable terminals. In
addition, the wire must be able to withstand at least 105°C.
The wire must be able to withstand at least 105
°C and the
torque value should be 4.5 lb
-in (0.51 N-m).
There should only be o
ne individual conductor in a clamping
point.
Communication Connections
EDS-G308 switches have 2 types of communications port:
•10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports
•Combination 10/100/1000T(X) Ethernet or 100/1000BaseSFP fiber
ports
10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports located on Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s
front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users
will choose to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which
case the port’s pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the
type of Ethernet cable used (straight-through or cross-over), and the
type of device (NIC-type or HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and
MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

100/1000BaseSFP (mini-GBIC) Fiber Port
The Fiber ports on the EDS-G308 series are SFP type slots, which
require 100M or 1G mini-GBIC fiber transceivers to work properly.
Moxa provides complete transceiver models for various distance
requirements.
The concept behind the LC port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. Unlike 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 to transmit data
from device II to device I, for full-duplex transmission.
Remember 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 cable, 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).
