3 Installation
3.1 Mounting
To mount on the DIN rail:
1. Place the device on to the DIN rail from above (1), so that the upper housing keyway
hooks on to the top edge of the DIN rail.
2. Hold the device by the housing cover and carefully push the device toward the
mounting surface (2).
3. After the foot is snapped on to the DIN rail, verify that it is attached securely.
Figure 3-1 DIN rail mounting
To remove:
1. Use a suitable screwdriver to release the locking mechanism (1) on the snap-on foot of
the device.
2. Hold on to the device by the housing cover and carefully tilt it upward (2).
3. Remove the device from the DIN rail (3).

3.2 Data interfaces
3.2.1 Connecting the Ethernet cable
The IOL MA8 PN DI8 has an Ethernet interface on the front in RJ45 format, to which only
twisted-pair cables with an impedance of 100 Ωcan be connected. The data transmission
rate is either 10 or 100 Mbps. The IOL MA8 PN DI8 supports the auto negotiation function
for automatic selection of the transmission speed, as well as an automatic crossover feature
for the automatic selection of line or crossover cabling.
Push the Ethernet cable with the crimped RJ45 connector into the IOL MA8 PN DI8 until it
engages with a click.
The IOL MA8 PN DI8 Ethernet interface is classified as a switch. The maximum number of
daisy-chained IOL MA8 PN DI8 units, and the maximum distance between units, is based
on the Ethernet standards and is determined by the environment and conformity of the
network to these standards. There may be some performance degradation on the devices
at the end of the chain, so it is recommended to overload and test for performance in the
environment. The application may also limit the total number of ports that may be installed.
Some basic guidelines are listed below.
– Ethernet 10Base-T rules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is four.
– Use Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair 10Base-T cables. The maximum length of each
cable is 100 m.
– Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX rules
– The maximum number of repeater segments is two (for a Class II hub). A Class II
hub can be connected directly to one other Class II Fast Ethernet hub. A Class I hub
cannot be connected directly to another Fast Ethernet hub.
– CAT5 or greater twisted-pair cable must be used. The maximum length of each
twisted-pair cable is 100 m.
– The total length of twisted-pair cabling (across directly connected hubs) must not
exceed 205 m.
– IEEE 802.3 specification: A network using repeaters between communicating stations
(PCs) is subject to the 5-4-3 rule of repeater placement on the network:
– Five segments connected on the network.
– Four repeaters.
– Three segments of the fiber segments can have stations connected. The other two
segments must be inter-repeater link segments with no stations connected.
