Wiring Requirements
WARNING
The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed
Power Unit, with output marked LPS, and rated to deliver 12 to 45
VDC at a maximum of 600 mA.
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Ethernet 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.
Please read and follow these important guidelines:
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
through the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different
signal characteristics should be routed separately.
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 separate.
It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system, when
necessary.

Grounding the Ethernet 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.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The IE-SW-PL08M has two sets of relay output—relay 1 and relay 2. Each relay
contact consists of two contacts of the terminal block on the IE-SW-PL08M top
panel. 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.
The fault circuit will open if::
1. A relay warning event is triggered, OR
2. The IE-SW-PL08M Switch is the Master of this Turbo Ring, and the Turbo
Ring is broken, OR
3. Start-up failure.
If none of these three conditions is met, the fault circuit will remain closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The IE-SW-PL08M switch has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and
power input 2. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are
shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the redundant 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 the Ethernet Switch top panel.

- 8 -
ATTENTION
Before connecting the Ethernet Switch to the DC power inputs,
make sure the DC power source voltage is stable.
Wiring the Digital Inputs
The IE-SW-PL08M unit 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 the Ethernet
Switch top panel. The remaining contacts are used for the Ethernet Switch two
DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are
shown below.
Take the following steps to wire the digital inputs:
STEP 1: Insert the negative (ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴/I1 terminals.
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 IE-SW-PL08M Series top panel.
Communication Connections
IE-SW-PL08M models have 8 or 6 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports, and 0 (zero)
or 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 IE-SW-PL08M Series 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 Ethernet 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.
2. The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the pinouts
of the relevant Ethernet 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.
B. 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
IE-SW-PL08M Series has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on
the top panel. Use an RJ45-to-DB9 cable (wiring diagram below) to connect
IE-SW-PL08M Series console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a
console terminal program, such as Windows Hyper Terminal, to access
IE-SW-PL08M Series console configuration utility.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on Ethernet Switch’s front panel are used to
connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
Next, we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports, and also show cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
IE-SW-PL08M models are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet switches.
The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol provides better network reliability and
faster recovery time. Turbo Ring’s recovery time is less than 300 ms (Turbo
Ring) or 20 ms (Turbo Ring V2) - compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time
for commercial switches - decreasing the possible loss caused by network
failures in an industrial setting.
There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the top panel of
IE-SW-PL08M switch that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds.
If you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the Turbo Ring, you
can use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.
NOTE
Please refer to the Turbo Ring DIP Switch section and Using
Communication Redundancy section in User’s Manual for more
detail information about the settings and usage of Turbo Ring and
Turbo Ring V2.
IE-SW-PL08M-Series DIP Switches
The default setting for each DIP Switch is OFF. The
following table explains the effect of setting the DIP
Switch to the ON position.

NOTE
You must enable the Turbo Ring function first before using the DIP
switch to active the Master and Coupler functions.
NOTE
If you do not enable any of the IE-SW-PL08M switches to be the
Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the
switch with the smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master.
If you accidentally enable more than one switch to be the Ring
Master, these switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one
will be the Ring Master.
LED Indicators
There are several LEDs on the Ethernet Switch front panel. The function of each
LED is described in the following table.

Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the10/100BaseTX ports
to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to pay attention to the type of
Ethernet cable being used for the connection. This means that you can use either
astraight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect the IE-SW-PL08M
switches to Ethernet devices.
Fiber Ports
The fiber ports are factory-built as either multi-mode or single-mode SC/ST
connectors. Therefore, you should use fiber cables that have SC/ST connectors
at both ends. When plugging the connector into the port, make sure the slider
guide is positioned to the right side such that it fits snuggly into the port.
