Mounting Dimensions
Units: mm (in)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the
back panel of the IE-SW-VL05/08M switch 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
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 below.
To remove the device from DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2.

8
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the Ethernet
switch on the wall, as shown in the following figures.
STEP 1: Remove the
aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
switch rear panel, and then
attach the wall mount
plates as shown in the
diagram at the right.
STEP 2:
Mounting the switch 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 the 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 completely—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 on the wall, insert the four screw heads
through the large parts of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide
the switch
downwards, as
indicated. Tighten
the four screws
for added stability

Wiring Requirements
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.
Be sure to 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.

10
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.
A 4 mm2 conductor must be used when connection to the external
grounding screw is utilized.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded
mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Wiring the Relay Contact
The Relay Contact consists of the two middle contacts of the terminal
block on the IE-SW-VL05/08M series 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.
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
an open circuit when:
A relay warning event is triggered.
OR
The IE-SW-VL05/08M is the Master of a
Turbo Ring, and the Turbo Ring is broken.
OR
There is a start-up failure.
If none of these three conditions is satisfied,
the fault circuit will remain closed.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs
The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-contact
terminal block connector on the IE-SW-VL05/08M series top panel are
used for the two DC inputs. Top and front views of one of the terminal
block connectors are shown in the following figures:

11
STEP 1: Insert the negat
ive/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 Switch´s top
panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the Ethernet Switch to the DC power
inputs, make sure the DC pow
er source voltage is stable.
Communication Connections
IE-SW-VL05/08M models have 8, 6, 5 or 3 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet
ports, and 0 (zero), 2, or 3 100BaseFX (SC/ST-type connector) fiber
ports.
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the Ethernet Switches 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.

ATTENTION
This is a Class 1 Laser/LED product. To avoid causing
serious damage to your eyes, do not stare directly into the
Laser Beam.
Redundant Power Inputs
Both power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power
sources. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a
backup, and automatically supplies the Ethernet Switch with power.

13
Relay Contact
The Ethernet switch has one Relay Contact located on the top panel.
For detailed instructions on how to connect the Relay Contact power
wires to the two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block
connector, see the Wiring the Relay Contact section. A typical
scenario would be to connect the fault circuit to a warning light located
in the control room. The light can be set up to switch on when a fault is
detected.
The Relay Contact has two terminals that form a fault circuit for
connecting to an alarm system. The two wires attached to the fault
contacts form an open circuit when (1) a relay warning event is
triggered, (2) the 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
occur, the fault circuit will be closed.
Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
IE-SW-VL05/08M models are managed Ethernet switches that offer
redundancy. 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-VL05/08M series 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 detailed information about the settings and
usage of Turbo Ring and Turbo Ring V2.

be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one
IE-SW-VL05/08M switch to be the Ring Master, these
switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be
the Ring Master.
NOTE To switch on the Master or Coupler functions of the DIP
switch, you have to enable the Turbo Ring Pole first.
