2. Hardware and Power Structure
The industrial terminal block located on the device supports the following inputs:
- P1+ / P1-: Primary (Main) DC power supply input.
- P2+ / P2-: Secondary (Backup/UPS) power supply input.
- GND: Chassis grounding terminal.
3. Installation and Redundant Power
3.1. Redundant Power Setup
For zero-downtime operation, it is highly recommended to utilize both power inputs:
- Main Source (P1): Connect your primary power supply to the
P1terminals. - Backup Source (P2): Connect an independent second source (Battery or UPS) to the
P2terminals. - Switchover Logic: The system draws from both lines. If P1 fails, the switch continues operation via P2 with zero latency.
3.2. DIN-Rail Mounting
Hook the rear mounting clip onto the standard 35mm DIN rail from the top and press the bottom until the locking mechanism "clicks" into place.
Important Grounding: Simultaneously running 8 Gigabit ports creates high signal density. To prevent interference or damage from static electricity, connect the GND terminal to the panel's main ground busbar.
4. LED Indicator Guide
| LED | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PWR | GREEN | Power input is active. |
| Link/Act | SOLID GREEN | 1000Mbps (Gigabit) link established. |
| Link/Act | FLASHING YELLOW | Data transmission is actively occurring. |
| WLAN | RED | Module/System status active. |
5. Safety & Troubleshooting
- Cable Selection: To maintain full Gigabit performance across 8 ports, Shielded (STP) Cat6, Cat6A, or Cat7 cables are mandatory.
- Amperage Check: Under heavy traffic, ensure your power supply provides sufficient amperage to handle the full load of all 8 active ports.
- Thermal Management: The device is fanless. Maintain at least 1-2 cm of space from other equipment to allow the metal housing to dissipate heat effectively.
6. Troubleshooting Quick-Fix
- Port Lights Off: Verify the cable integrity and ensure the connected field device is powered on.
- Low Speed: Check that the connected device supports Gigabit Ethernet and that the RJ45 cable has all 8 pins correctly crimped.
- Frequent Restarts: Verify the input voltage is within 9V-58V and check for ground loops if the GND terminal is not connected.
