DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back
panel of EDS-518A when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach
the DIN-Rail attachment plate to EDS-518A, make sure the stiff metal spring
is situated towards the top, as shown by the following figures.
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 in
the following illustration.

To remove the EDS-518A from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2
above.

Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EDS-518A
on the wall, as shown by the following illustrations:
STEP 1—Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
Moxa EDS-518A rear panel,
and then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown by the figure on the
right.

STEP 2—Mounting Moxa EDS-518A on the wall requires 4
screws. Use the EDS-518A, 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 by the figure
on the right.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw through
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
to the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the wide parts of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the EDS-518A downwards, as
indicated in the figure at the right.
Tighten the four screws for more
stability.

4. Standards covered ( EN60079-0:2006, EN60079-15:2005)
5. The conditions of safe usage:
yThe Ethernet Communication Devices are to be mounted in an IP54
enclosure and used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2 as
defined by IEC60664-1.
yA 4mm2 conductor must be used when connection to the external
grounding screw is utilized.
yConductors suitable for use in an ambient temperature of 93°C must be
used for the Power Supply Terminal.
yProvisions shall be made, either in external to the apparatus, to prevent
the rated voltage being exceeded by the transients disturbances of more
than 40%.
Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate. The devices are designed for operation with a
Safety Extra-Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to
the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with the
Safety Extra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/
EN60950/ VDE0805.
ATTENTION
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or
similar regulation).
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa EtherDevice Switch.
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 ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

- 8 -
You should also pay attention to the following points:
yUse 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
yNOTE: Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring
through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately
yYou 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
ySeparate input wiring and output wiring
yWe advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.
Grounding the Moxa EDS-518A
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.
Wiring the Relay Contact
EDS-518A has two sets of relay outputs—relay 1 and relay 2. Each Relay
Contact consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on EDS-518A’s top
panel. You can 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 will explain the meaning of the two contacts used to
connect the Relay Contact.
Relay1 Relay2
Relay1 Relay2
FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of
the 6-pin terminal block connector
are used to detect user-configured
events. The two wires attached to
the fault contacts form an open
circuit when a user-configured
event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not
occur, the fault circuit remains
closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
EDS-518A has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and power input
2.The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-pin terminal
block connector on EDS’ top panel are used for EDS’ two digital inputs. The
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, respectively.
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 the EDS-518A’s top
panel.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
EDS-518A has two sets of digital inputs, DI 1 and DI 2. Each DI consists of
two contacts of the 6-pin terminal block connector on EDS’s top panel, which
are used for EDS’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the
terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative
(ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴
/I1 terminals, respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DI 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 the EDS-518A’s top panel.
Communication Connections
All models of EDS-518A have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface),
between 14 and 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have 2
100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector) fiber ports.
In this section, we present two types of diagrams—Pinout Diagrams and
Cable Wiring Diagrams—to convey information about the ports and the
cables used to connect Moxa EDS-518A to other devices:
Pinouts—The meaning of the “Pinouts” diagrams is straightforward. The
diagrams simply display the type of signal passing through each of the port’s
pins.
Cable Wiring—Diagrams labeled “Cable Wiring” present standard cable
wiring schemes for cables used to connect Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s ports
to other devices. These diagrams display three pieces of information:
1. When building your own cable, refer to the “pin-to-pin” Cable Wiring
information displayed between the two vertical dashed lines to see
which pin of the connector on the left should be connected to which pin
of the connector on the right.

- 10 -
2. The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the
pinouts of the relevant Moxa EtherDevice Switch port.
3. The information to the right of the right vertical dashed line gives the
pinouts of the opposing device’s port.
NOTE 1. The pin numbers for male DB9 and DB25 connectors, and
hole numbers for female DB9 and DB25 connectors are
labeled on the connector. However, the numbers are typically
quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying glass to see
the numbers clearly.
2. The pin numbers for both 8-pin and 10-pin RJ45 connectors
(and ports) are typically not labeled on the connector (or port).
Refer to the following Pinout and Cable Wiring diagrams to
see how RJ45 pins are numbered
RS-232 Connection
Moxa EDS-518A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the
top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable
following wiring diagrams) to connect Moxa EDS-518A’s console port to
your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as
Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access Moxa EDS-518A’s console
configuration utility.
