Overview
The switch IE-SW-VL09T-6TX-3SC with 9 Copper-and 3 SC-Fiber-Ports
provides an economical solution for your Ethernet connections. As an added
bonus, the built-in smart alarm function helps system maintainers monitor the
health of your Ethernet network.
This Ethernet switch has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 75°C,
and is designed to withstand a high degree of vibration and shock. The rugged
hardware design makes it perfect for ensuring that your Ethernet equipment
can withstand critical industrial applications, and complies with FCC and CE
Standards.

The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed
Power Supply, with output marked LPS, and rated to deliver 12 to
48 VDC at a maximum of 0.6A.
The DC jack should be used with an LPS unit that is rated to
deliver 12 to 48 VDC at a minimum of 1.1A. The product should
not be disassembled by operators or service people.

Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back
panel of the Ethernet 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 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 Ethernet Switch from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and
2 above.

Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the device on the
wall, as illustrated below.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum
DIN-Rail attachment plate from
the switch’s rear panel, and then
attach the wall mount plates, as
shown in the diagram below. ⇒
top
plate
bottom
plate
STEP 2:
Mounting the device 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.
6.0 mm
3.5 mm
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 Ethernet switch
downwards, as indicated. Tighten
the four screws for added stability.

The Ethernet Switch has one Alarm Contact located on the top panel. For
detailed instructions on how to connect the Alarm Contact power wires to the
two middle contacts of the 6-contact terminal block connector, see the Wiring

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.

IE-SW-VL09-Switches have an address table that can hold up to 1K node

Mbps, while at the same time other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps.
Auto-negotiation takes place when an RJ45 cable connection is made, and then
each time a LINK is enabled. An IE-SW-VL09-Switch advertises its capability
for using either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps transmission speeds, with the device at
the other end of the cable expected to similarly advertise. Depending on what
type of device is connected, this will result in agreemen ed
of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
If an RJ45 Ethernet port is connected to a non-negotiating device, the default
