DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back
panel of EDS-516A when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach
the DIN-Rail attachment plate to EDS-516A, make sure the stiff metal spring
is situated towards the top, as shown by the following figures.
STEP 1—Insert the top of the STEP 2—The DIN-Rail attachment
DIN-Rail into the slot just below the unit will snap into place as shown in
stiff metal spring. the following illustration.

Wall Mounting (Optional)
For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount Moxa EDS-516A
on the wall, as shown by the following illustrations:

STEP 1—Remove the

aluminum DIN-Rail
attachment plate from the
Moxa EDS-516A rear panel, Top
plate

Ö
and then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown by the figure on the Bottom
plate
right.

STEP 2—Mounting Moxa EDS-516A on the wall requires 4

screws. Use the EDS-516A, with wall mount plates attached, as a 6.0 mm

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 by the figure 3.5 mm
on the right.

NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw
head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw through
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

to the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the wide parts of the
keyhole-shaped apertures, and then
slide the EDS-516A downwards, as
indicated in the figure at the right.
Tighten the four screws for more
stability.

 II 3G ATEX Information
1. Certification number DEMKO 09 ATEX 0812123X
2. Ambient range (-40°C ≤ Tamb ≤ 75°C)
3. Certification string (Ex nC IIC T4)
4. Standards covered ( EN60079-0:2006, EN60079-15:2005)
5. The conditions of safe usage:
y The Ethernet Communication Devices are to be mounted in an IP54
enclosure and used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2 as
defined by IEC60664-1.
y A 4mm2 conductor must be used when connection to the external
grounding screw is utilized.
y Conductors suitable for use in an ambient temperature of 93°C must be
used for the Power Supply Terminal.
y Provisions shall be made, either in external to the apparatus, to prevent
the rated voltage being exceeded by the transients disturbances of more
than 40%.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Do not disconnect modules or wires unless power has been
switched off or the area is known to be non-hazardous. The
devices may only be connected to the supply voltage shown on
the type plate. The devices are designed for operation with a
Safety Extra-Low Voltage. Thus, they may only be connected to
the supply voltage connections and to the signal contact with the
Safety Extra-Low Voltages (SELV) in compliance with IEC950/
EN60950/ VDE0805.

ATTENTION
This unit is a built-in type. When the unit is installed in another
piece of equipment, the equipment enclosing the unit must
comply with fire enclosure regulation IEC 60950/EN60950 (or
similar regulation).

ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa EtherDevice 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.

-7-
You should also pay attention to the following points:

y 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
y 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
y You can 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
y Separate input wiring and output wiring
y We advise that you label wiring to all devices in the system when
necessary.

Grounding the Moxa EDS-516A

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

EDS-516A has two sets of relay outputs—relay 1 and relay 2. Each Relay
Contact consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on EDS-516A’s top
panel. You can 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 will explain the meaning of the two contacts used to
connect the Relay Contact.

FAULT:
The two sets of relay contacts of
the 6-pin terminal block connector
are used to detect user-configured
events. The two wires attached to
Relay1 Relay2
the fault contacts form an open
circuit when a user-configured
event is triggered. If a
user-configured event does not
Relay1 Relay2
occur, the fault circuit remains
closed.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

EDS-516A has two sets of power inputs—power input 1 and power input
2.The top two contacts and the bottom two contacts of the 6-pin terminal
block connector on EDS’ top panel are used for EDS’ two digital inputs. The
top and front views of one of the terminal block connectors are shown here.

-8-
 STEP 1: Insert the
negative/positive DC wires into
V1- V1+ V2- V2+
the V-/V+ terminals, respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DC wires
from pulling loose, use a small
flat-blade screwdriver to tighten
PWR1 PWR2
the wire-clamp screws on the front
V1- V1+ V2- V2+ of the terminal block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal
block connector prongs into the
PWR1 PWR2 terminal block receptor, which is
located on the EDS-516A’s top
panel.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

EDS-516A 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 EDS’s top panel, which
are used for EDS’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of one of the
terminal block connectors are shown here.

STEP 1: Insert the negative

(ground)/positive DI wires into the ┴
I1 I2
/I1 terminals, respectively.
STEP 2: To keep the DI wires from
pulling loose, use a small flat-blade
DI1 DI2 screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp
screws on the front of the terminal
I1 I2
block connector.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal
DI1 D I2 block connector prongs into the
terminal block receptor, which is
located on the EDS-516A’s top panel.

Communication Connections
All models of EDS-516A have one RJ45 console port (RS-232 interface),
between 14 and 16 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports. Some models also have 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 Moxa EDS-516A 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 Moxa EtherDevice 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.

-9-
2. The information to the left of the left vertical dashed lines gives the
pinouts of the relevant Moxa EtherDevice 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.
2. 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
Moxa EDS-516A has one RS-232 (10-pin RJ45) console port, located on the
top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable (see the cable
following wiring diagrams) to connect Moxa EDS-516A’s console port to
your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program, such as
Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, to access Moxa EDS-516A’s console
configuration utility.

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s front
panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users will choose
to configure these ports for Auto MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s
pinouts are adjusted automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable
used (straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or
HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.

In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.

100BaseFx Ethernet Port Connection

The concept behind the SC/ST port and cable is quite straightforward.
Suppose you are connecting devices I and II. As opposed to electrical signals,
optical signals do not require a circuit in order to transmit data. Consequently,
one of the optical lines is used to transmit data from device I to device II, and
the other optical line is used transmit data from device II to device I, for
full-duplex transmission.
All you need to remember is to connect the Tx (transmit) port of device I to
the Rx (receive) port of device II, and the Rx (receive) port of device I to the
Tx (transmit) port of device II. If you are making your own cable, we suggest
labeling the two sides of the same line with the same letter (A-to-A and
B-to-B, as shown by the following illustration, or A1-to-A2 and B1-to-B2).
